HE has rings,,,,,,with many of these guys its about the money----Im not saying he is one of those guys but I think we have a legit shot if there is a big difference in offers .
I can agree with this. He's getting to the point in his career that $ starts becoming a big deal. He said in an interview with Adam Schefter a month ago that he just wants to go somewhere he would be respected. If he feels like the Patriots are in some way "disrepecting" him by not ponying up the money he thinks he deserves then maybe he does come to the Jets. Still believe he is a Pat come tonight though.
He was the most dominant player on that defense in 2010, after being drafted by the team in 2007. He was the number one rated ILB, I don't know what other teams were offering him but I think it was a matter of keeping a player that was homegrown as opposed to signing a FA. I don't think DH is the number one rated ILB in the NFL. Lawrence was when he was signed.
Jason Cole @JasonColeBR Told that the #Jets have offered more than $12M per season for #Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower as he gets closer to decision.
So if we land hightower i guess that means harris is gone. no reason for him, harris and lee. i assume hightower and lee would start and also be the nickel backers. hightower will probably be the dime backer as well
Steelers writer that writes for USA Today and founder of The Steelers Wire, i didnt know who he was either but Conor Hughes retweeted it so I assume he's not just making stuff up. Im not claiming to be correct though just showing you guys what I see. Also here is some more info on HT.
So I guess it's safe to assume the report about the Steelers giving him a take it or leave it offer were bogus?
Why are they offering Luke Kuechly money to someone who isn't half as good? I hope he stays with the Pats. Just when I thought Mac had a handle on things.
here is an actual development, dude took our cupcakes and bounced now he trying to use us to get more money from NE. Fuck this guy.
Jason Cole is actually pretty legit, but there seems to be a lot of varying takes and "sources". A lot of this wreaks of smoke screens. I'm going to wait till he actually announces where he signs. I'm sure the contract offer the Jets made will make its way out to the public anyways
Yea I agree there is a lot of contradicting stuff out there, we gotta just wait for something official.
which of these tweeter/twatters are correct? is Mac offering to make him the highest paid ILB in the NFL and he is contemplating or did they decide he ain't coming here anyway?? also, what kind of icing did they make the cupcakes with?
I really would just like Mac to make some cupcakes for Minter. I actually hope this HT deal falls through way to much to dedicate to 1 guy who really is not worth the money the Jets are supposedly offering.
