If they had franchised Flacco, they could have paid him less plus make him look like the bad guy if he held out. Just sayin'

Nope. With Flacco's new deal, his cap hit is only like $7M for this year. If they franchised him, it would have been easily double that amount and they'd have to cut more people.

He will have more of a hit against the cap later years, but they are hoping the cap goes up each year.

still its ridiculously too much.

couldnt afford bolding for 2 mil more.. thats stupid IMO.

Yeah that and they'll probably restructure it like every other team does. Agreed about Boldin. 6th round pick is a steal for him.

We already knew he was going there right after he retired.

Ravens released Bernard Pollard. Patriots need to sign this guy ASAP so he stops injuring all our players on the field. Just hoping he doesn't continue that trend in practice :rofl2:

Just ugh.

LOL first he blew out Brady's ACL with the Chiefs in 08, he then went on and did damage to I believe welker or someone and couple other hits on Patriot players lol


it appears that Ozzie is clearing room for younger talent to come in.

Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider

Ed Reed is definitely not out of the picture for the Ravens. Nothing imminent and Reed is looking around. Fluid situation


and...

Derrick Mason ‏@deemason85

Ravens won a Super Bowl and now r rebuilding in a sense! I believe they did the same thing after last SB win.

First Brady, then Welker, then Gronkowski, and most recently the KO of Ridley. :shakes head:

Apparently the Patriots gave Welker a low ball offer :shakes head:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

As @espn_nfcnblog is reporting and has been confirmed, Lions and Reggie Bush have reached agreement on 4-year deal.

its reported that Welker is "very likely going to leave"

Yeah I think they said he's hearing offers from other teams. :(

:(

I wonder how that makes Brady feel. He ate a much smaller contract so the Patriots could keep their talent... then they pull this.

If I'm Brady i'm piiiiiisssssseeeeeedddd

:iagree:

Wes Welker is "very likely" to sign with the Broncos.

Boo! I really really hope Welker stays in NE. We are screwed if he leaves.

May be a bluff to try and squeeze the Pats. Decker and welker would make a nasty receiving corps though.

That's what I'm hoping for. I don't think Pats expected anyone to make a bid for him. I hope they raise their offer to him if it is true. How pissed will Brady be if he loses Welker to Peyton Manning? I think they will be playing each other next season too.

just like the whole Ed Reed-49er thing. its just a ploy to give him more money. which wont work with Ozzie as we have seen this offseason.

:iagree:

Brady would be pissed!

I am going to bring this up with another buddy who is die hard PATS fan, him and his dad. I bet they will start tripin! :stirthepot:

Seems like Welker's got his offer from the Broncos and now he's asking the Patriots if they will match it.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Patriots began pursuing Rams free-agent WR Danny Amendola during the three-day negotiating window last weekend

Yeah they're probably gonna sign him soon. Could be OK in Welker's place if he can manage to stay healthy.

Was a 2 year $12M deal with the Broncos. Did the Patriots go that cheap on their offer? Now this is just sad. Last year they offered him 2 year and $16M deal and he turned it down.

Thats a big could be IMO

Maybe he just wanted to leave? :ugh2:

They could also resign Julian Edelman to take part of Welker's share of targets. He did pretty well when he was healthy last season.

Probably.

LOL just sent text to my buddy he instantly came back with defence, so in other words he's pissed off! I also think I was the one who broke the news to him, which he would have probably checked his NFL app right away! I was literally laughing at it 3 texts in under a min :rofl2:

I'm upset right now, but not quite pissed yet. I'll have to see what the Patriots do with their extra salary cap space first. If they bring in some nice DB's, sign Amendola, and re-sign Edelman I will feel ok about it.

:iagree:

He did good for the Rams. Hope he stays healthy this year

Well I'm gonna go kill some sh1t in God of War while keeping my laptop open for updates :p
