What happens to Vollmer/Cannon next year?

[MrNathanDrake]

self explanatory. Any guesses?

Can we get a draft pick for Voller? If so, what round?

 

[jboston19]

They didn't draft a tackle this year, so my guess is they'll extend Cannon. Apparently, with Vollmer being on IR, his contract actually rolled over and the Pat's could have him back for one more year, but he'll be cut.

Vollmer is likely done, Cannon was already given an extension.

Cannon is signed through 2021.

Cannon's transformation this year has been amazing. We all know Dante is a good coach, but cannon literally went from jag to second team all pro in one year,

If vollmer comes back next season, maybe it could be with Houston. Their right tackle was pathetic.

 

[Joey007]

Think the writing is pretty much written on the wall. Cannon extended, and Vollmer's career might be over.

 

[MrNathanDrake]

So will we trade Vollmer for draft pick???

 

[rookBoston]

I have to guess that Vollmer is close to retirement. If not, makes for some great veteran depth to have that many quality tackles. All three of them (including Solder) haven't been healthy at the same time for what...three years?

Extend Cannon? That's ridiculous. No way that will ever happen.

Vollmer is not worth a draft pick. Too old, too hurt, too expensive, and he came off of a bad year in 2015. He'll be cut and maybe try to catch on with a team who's front office/coach has Patriots ties.

Cut and resigned respectively.

 

[patchick]

Cut and resigned respectively.

I have to disagree -- it doesn't seem likely that we cut a UFA and re-sign a guy who's under contract for 5 more years.

Vollmer does seem likely to retire, but if he is able to return I'd be all for signing him to a 1-year deal and drafting another tackle.

Guess I missed that piece of news. Lol.

 

[Kontradiction]

Depends on how Cannon looks the next two weeks and if Vollmer's body is up to the task. If the answers to both of those questions are "good" and "yes", respectively, then bring both of them back and let them have a camp battle next season.

No, he will be released.

Hey, I'm glad you took that in the right way.

Just an oversight on my part. I am aware that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon recently, however, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Vollmer is a free agent. I don't think the Pats will re-sign him. He is likely going to retire anyway.

 

[IllegalContact]

No, he will be released.

isn't he simply a free agent?

Since he spend the entire final year of his contract on PUP he will not be a FA but his contract will go for another year. We have been through this a few times via @Miguel
