Hopefully it includes a pay cut for his shameful display so far this season.
Oh, get over yourself. If you're a true fan of a team, you build them up and won't tear them down.Hopefully it includes a pay cut for his shameful display so far this season.
Thuney is playing fine. Shaq Mason has been terrible from snap 1 this season. You want to know why the Patriots can't run the ball consistently? It's Shaq Mason. He's getting run over by every JAG in the NFL.I think you are missing what Thuney and Mason are doing. Karras is simply not a starting caliber Center in the NFL. Ok, maybe that is a bit harsh, he's not a top 20 starting caliber center in the NFL. Mason and Thuney are picking up Karras' slack. They didn't suddenly forget how to play Guard. I would even go as far as to say that Andrews was so good, and so underrated, that he made them look better than they are (and they are very good, which is why the Oline hasn't completely fallen apart with Karras and Newhouse). Andrews is our best Olineman, its not debatable - especially now.
I'm not in the habit of building up champions and borderline all-pros who sign a big contract, and then go in the tank.Oh, get over yourself. If you're a true fan of a team, you build them up and won't tear them down.

I don't think it's Karras' fault Mason spends half the game on his ass. But you do you.
No. You can't restructure players in the last year of contract. Thuney new deal will increase his cap for sure.
Which essentially means goodby
Please point us to all those snaps were he gets run over. I have not noticed more than maybe 1-2 bad beats per game. But am looking forward to see what I have missed.
Just give me the time on a couple or those snaps I will do the rest.
That why he said "the extension kind of restructure". In other words the poster wanted Thuney to be extended.
Restructure is not an extension.
Extension you will add years to a player already signed sometimes saving money.
Restructure means pushing money down the road to gain cap relief.
Thuney does not have any extra year, so he can't be restructured, and if they want to extend him it will be IMPOSSIBLE to save any money this year because his cap is pretty low.
But ...
They can extend HT, KVN, DMac, Harmon ...
Trade Bennett

Also, Mason used to be the Patriots best lineman. No question. Key phrase, 'used to be'. I hope he can get back to that form, because this Shaq Mason they could have pulled off a couch somewhere for the vet minimum. The regression in play has been striking, to say the least.

I did not see this posted. It makes sense. This is probably where they got the money for Sanu.
