The thought just hit me here Cousin.
Even the minimum salary is tough for the Pats to take a flyer on Lee. They also have to have about $3mm for the Draftees and money for the two RFA signed (I see about $8mm+ or minus).
Something is in the works.
I might be reading the tea leaves wrong but.........either Thuney is close to an extension, they have a deal on the table for him or someone else is going like a Hightower or Gilmore.
I think Thuney is the Pats best OL hope but is CAP number is ridiculous. Love to keep him but if he brings wampum.....
Does this indicate the Pats are happy with their WR room? Still might use a late pick to get a sleeper WR like speed merchant Quez Watkins from Southern Miss, Oregon State Isaiah Hodgkins, or Tyler Johnson from Minn.
It would be very difficult to envision the Pats NOT making a move to address CAP.
Happy Draft Day.
