For what level of above averageness are you willing to break the bank - no matter what the need for the position is? That's not something we have done in the past, nor should do.Solder's worth the more than 10 mil. Tackles cost money. He played well down the stretch.
But only ONE he wants to go to?Sounds like Sherman will be released tomorrow...expect a ton of teams in on him
And of course the Rams!But only ONE he wants to go to?
I hope reports are true and the feeling is mutual.
The fact he is his own agent and his desire to be coached by Bill
This could move quickly.
Only teams I see as competiton
Raiders
Jets
Chargers
Falcons
Niners
That's the best thing about not trading for TalibThe encouraging thing about Sherman is that the cap hit should be lower. Talib is getting his full $11 million from the Rams, but if a team were willing to pay Sherman that then he would have been traded already.
Could do a Revis-like deal with Sherman
1 year deal +1 year option
$1.5 mil salary
$500k roster bonus (maybe change it to an incentive bonus which could earn him more)
$10m signing bonus (which gets spread over 2 years like Revis' did)
He ends up getting $12m (was supposed to get $11m this year) but is only a $7m cap hit for '18.
It really doesn't though. It needs Hightower and another pass-rusher and LB and Derek Rivers might fill the need for one of those.
Waste of money. Unless he signs for 5-6m in total there wont be a Sherman here. We dont need another outside CB.
Rowe gave up 75 yards in the last SB and 80 in this one. He’s a serviceable enough CB2, but we could certainly use an upgrade. Let’s see what Belichick thinks. I’m expecting 1 or 2 CBs added through the draft and free agency.They don't need another outside CB? You really think Rowe will be the answer as the number 2 corner?

Sherman to Pats - why not. He is a trash talker but on the other hand we need aggressive ( I do not mean Ray Lewis type of players ), experienced and with charisma players. If he wants to play for us with a decent contract I'm in.
While I don't think that the defense needs Sherman nearly as much as it needs more healthy players (with experience) up front and on the second level, I'd love to see his skills, smarts and experience on the team, perhaps especially if they draft a DB (CB or safety) in the first couple rounds.
The "why not?" is cap space. The Pats are still very short on 2018 cap space at the moment with several critical in-house UFAs to re-sign.
That said, the Pats currently have a little over $60M in 2019 cap space. Obviously, a significant chunk of that will be eroded by 2018 re-signings, extensions and new acquisitions, but there are also at least a couple of extension-restructurings that could push some 2019 cap expenses into 2020 (Gronk being a big one).
The point being that, if Sherman is willing to sign a contract that taxes the 2018 cap by only about $4M and balloons in 2019 and 2020 with "deferred" guaranteed money, that could work.
Otherwise, I don't see it happening.
