Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

BB: Oh, Hi Logan..... I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Bench. Get used to him. He'll be your friend for the rest of the season. We'll call if we need a 8M a year guard to come in for an inopertune holding call



Mankins return's makes me feel like SINGING.

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

Why is everybody so eager to "punish" Mankins by sitting him? Once he's ready to help, it would punish the team more than Mankins himself.

The Patriots already made their stand. They wouldn't cave, ran up the league's best record without him, and now it appears he's reporting earlier than strictly required. Message sent, now let's play football!

I want to hear that fricking public apology.

This is the year of taking no prisoners with folks who screw with the Patriots.

He doesn't need to start Sunday but hopefully he's ready for the Steelers game.

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

Too late, I already traded him for Brian Cushing on Madden.

The team is better with him, welcome back Logan. They should try to get him some minutes this week. He has to be ready for the steelers & colts games.

Exactly.

You'd think after all that's happened fans would stop getting so emotional about this stuff. If Logan is ready to contribute and make the team better, then welcome, Logan.

I wonder if reporting early is his way of telling BB he's acting in good faith and he's going to be a team guy again. He could have showed up in week 10 to accrue his season. But by coming in a few weeks early, he has a game to acclimate and get into the flow before our two biggest challenges of the season, Pittsburgh and Indy.

I'd rather him cut his teeth against whomever plays on the defensive line of the Browns than to throw him into the fire against the Steelers.

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

Hey, I thought I heard Mankins signed. Anyone hear that?

If he is not ready to play immediately they can get a roster exemption for a week or two. So we do not necessarily have to cut anyone, yet.

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

Trade him to the Minnesota Vikings for a high draft pick, then we have a shot to claim him on waivers later.

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

What is Mankins' mindset at this point? We've seen what has happened to disruptive types on this team as of late.

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

I hope he sits the bench the rest of the year.

You think you're bigger than the team? Screw you. We needed you and you just wanted to screw us over for a few dollars. Now that you realize we're doing just fine without you, you want to come back into the fold?

Screw you.

That's how I take it, which is part of my "bygones" attitude. In fact -- Shmessy, to me this IS the public apology.

Are you talking to Deion Branch?

Re: Logan Mankins signs tender

Okay, I get that people are pissed at Mankins, but I really don't get this whole "make him inactive" and "send his ass home" sentiment.

The question is whether Mankins makes the Patriots OL better. I have to think, unless he's been sitting on his couch mainlining Cheetos, the answer is unequivocally yes.

The idiot turned down a reported $35M 5 yr contract to play a sport, in the middle of a near depression. On Principle. What Principle? I'm a gready spoiled ***** out of touch with reality.

He hasn't practiced a single minute in months. I don't see him making this line better for at least a month.

Trade him to Buffalo for a bag of used practice balls, let him see what its like to win 10 games in the next 5 years.

screw him.
