Then we'd lose them anyway, if another team gives these guys huge contracts, they weren't signing here anyway.Exactly! This is a good way to lose most of them in this crazy market.
Has any team signed a FA of Sherman's caliber coming off such a major injury, when they currently can't pass a physical? I can't recall it happening. He may not sign with any team, for quite a while.Idk, but for some odd reason, the fact that there is very very little Richard Sherman news leads me to believe that NE is currently working under the radar to acquire Sherman. This is typically how we operate; especially with big name FAs. Hopefully, that’s the case.
To put it plainly, I really want Sherman to be a Patriot.
Drew Brees to the Saints?Has any team signed a FA of Sherman's caliber coming off such a major injury, when they currently can't pass a physical? I can't recall it happening. He may not sign with any team, for quite a while.
I thought the dolphins failed him on his physical, that's why he wasn't signed. If I remember correctly they had a deal finalized but the failed physical nixed itDrew Brees to the Saints?
Didn't Miami say he failed their physical and Miami signed Culpepper and Brees went to New Orleans.
Correct but Orleans signed him anyway is my pointI thought the dolphins failed him on his physical, that's why he wasn't signed. If I remember correctly they had a deal finalized but the failed physical nixed it
Hey, I’m in total agreement with you here. But let us speculate for a second that Sherman agrees to come here for a 7M hit, and plays well. Who is out there on DL and LB that would have as big of an impact as Sherman would? This is an honest question. I’d love to be dreaming about some DT’s or stud LB’s but I dont see many out there. I’d like to snag Preston Brown, but not at that big of a hit. School me!
The Patriots are a perfect team for Sherman.
They have the great quarterback he desires.
He won't demand one cent more than Stephon Gilmore.
I'll go ahead and say it then --- SIGN THE BEAST!!
We would have the most stacked secondary since 2014 and the NFL has become a passing league. Yes we'd still need to add 1 LB and 1 Passrusher, but who could we sign on the cheap with our cap space who would still make an impact for us?
Yeah I'm sure the Colts are running out of 'Runner Up Banners' to raise to the rafters. I'm surprised they didn't raise a 'Not Last Place in Division' banner, but realized they finished 4-12, a tie with the Texans for last place.
Perhaps an agreement or contract terms will be announced but with the condition "pending a physical" or something.Has any team signed a FA of Sherman's caliber coming off such a major injury, when they currently can't pass a physical?

The question that is buzzing around my brain is whether or not the Patriots have
reached out to Solder, Lewis, Burkhead, Amendola,Waddle, or Fleming with a
reasonable offer. My guess is they have not.
Certainly can't sign a 30 year old off achilles injury to that kind of money even if they did.The Pats don't have anywhere near enough cap space to sign another Gilmore-level contract with anyone.
Here's how I think of it: If you sign a good CB in free agency, you don't need to draft one with your top picks. Instead, you can fill up 3 needs with those 3 top picks - including DL and LB.
Makes m e think they're going to create some more cap space somehow with our needs.The Pats don't have anywhere near enough cap space to sign another Gilmore-level contract with anyone.
