What happens with Lawrence Guy?

[Real fan 02]

White was drafted with the intention to eventually replace Guy and be Barmore insurance.

Is white an interior D linemen or Left or Right DE?

The issue is he wants a raise.

The question is do the NEP satisfy his ask.

If they do, he plays in 2023

If they don't they'll cut him and he can make his money somewhere else.

The article never states that he wants a raise and the main focus is on BB letting a player go before they no longer pay dividends.

The answer comes on 7/25 when players report to camp.

DE.

It's common knowledge he sat out minicamp b/c of his issue w/ his deal.

I do think he has been underpaid relative to the quality of his place during his tenure in NE. If I'm the Pats, I see if he's open to a raise that is mostly in per-game roster bonuses. If he's active most or all of the year then he gets a couple extra $M. If he retires or gets hurt then he doesn't. Maybe that is a common ground they can find.

I read that it stated he wanted an alteration to his contract.. usually means more money.. so as you said we'll see by 7/25

I think white plays over or outside the T not inside

Kind of weak “common knowledge” the only reference was Reiss saying “believed to be contract related”
If there was more teeth to that Reiss would be more specific than vague

Reiss is always low key

DE.

That's why the availability of barmore is crucial.. I really believe this season is vital for barmore going forward.. we need him!

This new article makes no mention of his wanting more money.

This is difficult to evaluate because the contract that he signed in 2021 was so underwhelming (despite a free agent visit to Flores’ Dolphins) that I’m convinced that he failed his physical or something like that. The team clearly valued his potential contributions (hence the upside to $6M per year), but something made them limit his guarantees to $2M and link almost $16M of his potential $24M to game day active roster bonuses and playing time incentives. Have those circumstances changed to where he’s now worth more than he was then? I’m guessing no.

Maybe he signed the deal thinking he'd play a more limited role. Then he got 500+ snaps last year and feels he ought to get compensated a little better if they're going to rely on him for that many snaps. Could even feel he got tricked into a lower deal (kinda like Trent Brown signing a RT contract then being flipped to LT before the ink dried).

All we have at this point is mostly conjecture.

Sam Roberts seems a solid replacement. I’d like to hear BB’s take on his progress.

It would be great if Sam pops in Y2.

Or he just accepts he isn’t getting a raise.

Where’s the drama in that?

sheesh. You should know the program by now.

Then he did a ****ty job negotiating incentives. That's on him

Handful of years his junior or not, can understand if Guy feels slighted after seeing Godchaux get a contract with over 3 times the AAV of his. Too late though at this point. He has multiple years left on his deal and would be 34 once it expires. Unless he miraculously morphed into Ted Washington or Keith Traylor, that’s an easy pass on adding more years and doing any business with an older DT. Move on if you must.

Did you speak with Guy?
