I agree he'd be an upgrade...but we still need help on the defensive line. What about Conner Barwin?

Barwin is too old and prolly wants to get more than he is worth but i do agree we do need help on the defensive line but all the really good linemen are all resigned, will have to get them out of the draft.

Makes no sense
He needs a new top dollar deal. Why not keep Cooks and pick up one of the top FA CB instead

I'm sure that's probably the hold up. He probably wants a huge salary.

No no no and no again

I love it. Do it!

Its a terrible deal
We would have to give him 12-15ml a year to get him to stay after his tag. Just pay another FA.

If the Pats are offering anything you know its loaded to them. It always is.

I've said it before, it seems like the Pats always get the good deal and the other team gets the **** at the end of the stick. They always come out on top. For all we know they put a first round tender on Butler because they already knew they were going to get Gilmore. Then they put the tender on Butler to increase his trade value to another team. I wouldn't put it past that front office.

And with Sean's reverence for BB I feel like we're less likely to play hardball with them than with another team.. I dunno man, just gives me an uneasy feeling.
