I would much rather sign him than trade for him. $10 million this year and $8 million next year but no dead money if they cut him after 2018 season.Bye guys!

Maybe we can cobble together the healthy parts each has remaining and get something really good.Jeff Howe says Sherman and Talib would be interested in joining the Patriots if given their release.
http://www.weei.com/blogs/weei/robert-krafts-girlfriend-ricki-noel-lander-reportedly-welcomes-babyAccording to Page Six, apparently Patriots owner Robert Kraft has become a father again at age 76.
The report says Kraft's girlfriend Ricki Noel Lander, 38, secretly had a baby in the last year. The two have been dating for five years. There were rumors the two had broken up, but Lander was pregnant and did not want to be seen in public.
A Patriots spokesman declined comment to Page Six by saying, "This is a private matter.”
The report adds Kraft is “taking full care of Ricki and the baby" and “Bob is fully supporting the child. There is a lot of tiptoeing around the subject at the Patriots offices. Everyone is afraid to openly talk about it.”
He bought her a Los Angeles mansion, as well as made some sizable investments on her behalf. Kraft's four sons are said to be anticipating the family trust being changed.
Kraft's long-time wife Myra passed away in 2011.
This evil spawn is clearly a jinx. GJGE, Robert.Oh what the fuck
They’ve taken shots before — e.g., Haynesworth — and they’ll take them again. And particularly if Gronk for whatever reason is out of here, they may really have to. A good amount of need, limited cap and draft resources.Maybe we can cobble together the healthy parts each has remaining and get something really good.
I'd take a chance on Sherman on a short money prove it deal.Maybe we can cobble together the healthy parts each has remaining and get something really good.
I wanted Sherman last year and I would still take him again assuming his recovery is going ok.I'd take a chance on Sherman on a short money prove it deal.
Kraft is apparently a father again.

Finally we know why there is friction between Belichick and Kraft.
You mean friction between BB and krafts girlfriend?Finally we know why there is friction between Belichick and Kraft.
No my post doesn't answer my own question. OBJ is not getting $20 million from anybody so let's throw that out now. Other teams all the time think they can "fix" a player if they get him in their system if he's talented enough and OBJ fits that bill. The Giants have to weigh the cost of keeping him long-term on a losing team versus trading him and speeding up their rebuild.Doesnt you post answer your own question?
IF he has been a nutjob to the point the Giants dont want to risk paying him big money long term and decide to look to trade him, why is another team going to trade a "package of high picks" for a guy that wants to make alot of money long term but is kind of a nut job.
If the Giants do think he is worth alot of money and a long term contract, then they woundnt trade him.
I guess it only takes one but I dont see it.
Maybe looking at somebody better than Quinn.
why weren't the Pats on this with 63
Because they didn’t want Mendenhall?
why weren't the Pats on this with 63
How about because his base salary is over $10 million and they have about $13 in cap space and still need to sign a bunch of guys?

They have about 35 million in cap space in reality, after the cuts come, maybe more if they extend Cooks and/or Brady. But Quinn is still too much.How about because his base salary is over $10 million and they have about $13 in cap space and still need to sign a bunch of guys?
The Jets might be there just to up the money he'll get from the 1 or 2 teams where he's actually considering going.John Dorsey may have mission impossible so far as FAs are concerned. Cleveland reportedly is not on Cousins’ winnowed list:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/03/report-kirk-cousins-list-down-to-four-teams/
The Jets are, and to my mind this just underscores the point. Cousins is a son of the Midwest. In every respect, he is not a NY kind of guy. He could be plug-and-play for Cleveland, who could then devote their two high picks to a monster RB and top defensive player. Bring the Browns back to solid respectability, well short of a title, and you’re a legend in Cleveland. But no, if Schefter is right ...
The Jets are hardly a model of stability, but the Browns are emblematic of what a near 20-year tire fire will do.
Maybe, but I think we have a shot. Minnesota is the best football scenario but you have to live in a freezer.The Jets might be there just to up the money he'll get from the 1 or 2 teams where he's actually considering going.
As an avowed hater of the Broncos and Elway*, I am rubbing my hands with glee.I don’t know how reliable this guy is, but Schefter’s four teams are about to be reduced to two:
My guess if he’s right — Vikings and Jets
$10 million increase from last year. According to Miguel, the Pats currently have $14.6 million in cap space.
So 35-40 million after Bennett, Branch, Allen, McClellin, and a few others cut (Dorsett? Britt? Ghost? Ryan Allen? Fuckhead? Gillislee?).$10 million increase from last year. According to Miguel, the Pats currently have $14.6 million in cap space.
I’m disappointed that I don’t know who “Fuckhead” is.So 35-40 million after Bennett, Branch, Allen, McClellin, and a few others cut (Dorsett? Britt? Ghost? Ryan Allen? Fuckhead? Gillislee?).
That's hilarious!!!!!I’m disappointed that I don’t know who “Fuckhead” is.
I was having PTSD flashbacks of my father at the dinner tableI’m disappointed that I don’t know who “Fuckhead” is.
Video was great. Just what the doctor ordered.I’m over it. Today. Thanks to you all in the Fuckhead discussion, and this feel good video posted today in the Combine thread:
If he’s over it, and you all are too, so am I.
This is a great place. Thank you.
I spoke with two NFL agents this week who said word is the Texans aren't interested in any players who participated in pregame kneel-downs in protest of police brutality.
There is no directive within the organization, but it is considered to be understood that as desperate as the Texans are to bring in talent, the pool of potential signees and draftees will not include anyone who has participated in protests or are likely to.
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/columnists/solomon/article/Texans-would-miss-out-if-they-aren-t-interested-12726004.phpThere are many who believe if McNair could field a team with all-white, all-conforming all-pro talent, he would.
Miami too:Shockingly Bob McNair doing Bob McNair things.

Is it worse for business to have a shitty team? Would that be the result if the players ignored the owners' warning and the owners started cutting/not signing the non-conformists? (I don't see the players doing that as very likely, but it's an interesting thought exercise).Miami too:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/06/dolphins-owner-stephen-ross-sends-clear-message-on-national-anthem/
The dust has settled. It’s unfortunate, but the fan bases have spoken and the owners are following, and so are the players, eventually. The anthem protests were bad for business. If they weren’t, we would not have this.
