My guesses:
- After Solder tests the market..the Pats step up to the plate and re-sign him or 13.5M+ annually on average...short deal again I think.
- Following that we likely will keep one of Waddle/Fleming...more likely the latter as we value him more than other teams will.
- We will get clarity with Gronk before 3/14, IMO. If Gronk retires, I think we pick up Bennett, let Allen go, and maybe jump into the bidding for Graham/Eifert with the $$ freed up by Gronk's retirement.
- As for Dola....I think Dola feels out the league and only leaves if he gets a massive offer of 6M+ annually.... either way...Dola is in line for a raise after taking a hair cut the last 2-3 seasons.
Just my 2 cents...
