Trey Flowers: “We’ve got six, we want seven.”

[LJRomanoff]

Not sure Patricia is really making the right choices : yes Flowers is VG, but for much $$ ? Dola & Coleman ? Waaaaaaay too much $$.

Patricia isn't stupid. He needs short term results to keep his job. Detroit ownership won't allow him the luxury of long term planning, so he's overpaying for a quick fix in the same way the Rams did.

Now we know he meant seven figures, not seven titles.

I kinda knew he was just saying we want #7 because of the audience he was in front of. Good on him for being a professional even when he knew he was gone.

Guess I was wrong. I figured he just wouldn’t mention it at all. Oh well.

Good for him setting himself up for life. He was a very good player here, a guy I thought the Patriots would be willing to spend the money on. Best of luck to him going forward with the usual caveats.

These threads crack me up. Trying to find hints in what guys are saying is useless.

When was the last time I big name free agent said something like “I don’t care who I play for as long as they break the bank for me”

There are more, but there's no need for any sort of exhaustive list.

I don't think it's that simple. There are teams in this league with massive salary cap space. They can afford to do this. Some teams are dying to fork over cash.

Unfortunately for Tre’ “ we got six, let’s get #7” now refers to wins, not rings.
