PATRIOTS NEWS Schooler Extended

[Fubby]

Maybe our only Pro Bowl selection this season?

Gonzo probably will deserve it by year end but there’s a bunch of flashier CB’s out there and sure will get snubbed.

Felger destroyed this signing. Saying Schooler is only involved in 10 plays tops during a season.

Anyone with a firing neuron in their brain couldn’t give less of **** with what Fraud Felger has to say. Guy can’t talk X’s and O’s if his life depended on it.

 

[Real fan 02]

Good. Really good ST player.

He is. I'm surprised he hadn't filled in at safety with dugger and peppers being out.

I believe he's garnered the attention and respect as a top 5 CB.. I think he gets at minimum 2nd team all prom

I know he is good at his job and we have a lot of cap space but this is a horrible contract. How can you pay somebody $3MM who will have 20 tackles in a season (I know special team snaps are thankless) but would not pay $13-14MM for an elite RB who would be a third of the offense? Henry for example is getting paid $8MM a year.

I look at contracts in terms of how much he could get with another team and have a hard time thinking he would get anywhere near this.

$3m to a guy who’s involved a few plays per game.

It's not just about tackles, it's also about field position. Schooler does a great job of pinning offenses deep on the back end.

I’m down with having a few ST players only. Not BB amount, but 1 or 2 guys like Schooler. Very good gunner. TBH I would think most K or P, especially Baringer could make this. Maybe in my advanced old age didn’t realize they do…

Mapu Hawkins and Pettus
are all better safeties.

Agree we are going to need all three good safeties we have.. adams in the division now.

I know which is why I said the snaps are thankless. The point still stands that's an absurd amount to pay for a pure special teamer who is not a punter or kicker.

Chris board was paid 5 million as a STs player.

No it is not. I don't know where you have been for the last 20 years but BB has always invested heavily in ST.

Slater earned over $30 million his entire career with the Patriots.

2 bad moves don't mean they are good. We overpaid Slater too. At least he was a team leader and we were winning so it was ok. We have too many holes to fill to spend $3MM on a gunner.

Overpaid? Really?

A three-time Super Bowl Champion and 13-time team captain, Matthew Slater earned five first-team All-Pro selections (2011, 2012, 2014 2016, 2019), three second team All-Pro (2017, 2020, 2021) and 10 Pro Bowl nods — the most by a special teamer in NFL history.

Some of you guys.... Jesus H. Won't be happy unless they fire all 53. Chrissakes, boys.

For 2 years by us and that was bad. He is getting paid a bit over a million by Ravens and he seems to play D too.
