Banta cain being released.

[dduncan6er]

Banta cain being released.
Not too surprising with the surgery and everything. I wonder how much cap space it frees up.

[pathetic]

i really liked banta cain. he's the type of player that fit perfectly into the system

[artiej1120]

i really liked banta cain. he's the type of player that fit perfectly into the system

Banta Cain was a one trick pony: nickel pass rush. Stupid late hits, bad run defense, can't drop back into coverage. He was pretty much a non-factor last year. Cutting him saves $2 million towards the cap. Seems like a no-brainer for me.

[dduncan6er]

Looking at the OLB position for next year, Belichick much be very confident in Cunningham.

[artiej1120]

Looking at the OLB position for next year, Belichick much be very confident in Cunningham.

He's the elephant/Willie McGinest type that Belichick loves. I'd love to see them go after Lawson or Johnson for some pass rush help, but someone else will probably overpay big time.

[dduncan6er]

Who's available for FA's that had decent sack totals last year? I'd bet cutting Banta Cain was done to free up some money to bring someone in.

[artiej1120]

Who's available for FA's that had decent sack totals last year? I'd bet cutting Banta Cain was done to free up some money to bring someone in.

Charles Johnson, Ray Edwards, and Manny Lawson are probably the top 3. There might be some guys to be had by trade too. Osi Yumenyora comes to mind, but he wouldn't fit our system.

[jackisback24]

Mankins!

[pathetic]

Mankins!

yupppppp!!!! woooooo

mankins in the house! great news

[dduncan6er]

Hopefully they can patch the relationship up with him to keep him here after this season is over. I don't like the chances of that happening though.

[pathetic]

i'm not looking forward to the jets blitzing every play if they get Asomugha. him and revis are gonna give them a lot of coverage.

[dduncan6er]

Well Haynesworth better get his shit together or he'll be gone before we know it.

[pathetic]

Yeah pats are only paying him 5M. It's worth the risk.

[dduncan6er]

They don't even owe him any money if he's not on the roster week 1. So he knows he needs to bust his ass in training camp if he doesn't want to get cut. Reminds me a lot of the Moss deal from a few years ago.

[pathetic]

i hope he busts his ass and is on the roster. wilfork needs some relief on the line

[ctk11]

This is pretty low risk and could yield some high rewards. He is two.years removed from defensive player of the year. Totally understand the move

[artiej1120]

WEEI was reporting that the Redskins are paying his base salary, so we don't owe him a dime other than escalators and incentives.

[dduncan6er]

This deal keeps looking better and better. Hopefully he comes out motivated and plays like he did in 2007 and 2008.

[DMBstandUP1984]

playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers

[pathetic]

i'm loving this deal. the worst that could happen is that he sucks it up and the pats lose a 5th round draft pick. genius

[dduncan6er]

RT @adbrandt: Redskins have paid Haynesworth $35.6 million in 2 yrs. Patriots acquire him for $12.6 for next 2 yrs, with nothing guaranteed.

Damn this is deal has serious potential to be one of the best in team history. Emphasis on the word potential though. This guy needs to pull his head out of his ass and produce.

[rickyh24]

Love the deal. Defensive front has the chance to just be nasty. What's up with light?

[dduncan6er]

Last I heard they were pushing pretty hard to bring him back. Likely a short term deal for decent money. I think it's a good idea. I don't exactly trust a rookie LT.

[dduncan6er]

Just saw this posted somewhere else:

Matt Light - T - Patriots The Patriots have begun serious contract negotiations to re-sign free agent OT Matt Light.
Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe reports that the deal could be completed as soon as today. First-round pick Nate Solder is the Pats' left tackle of the future, but he's awfully raw and was beaten too often as a senior at Colorado. Light would be an excellent re-signing to "bridge" the gap. He'd almost certainly be the Patriots' starting left tackle in Week 1. Source: Greg Bedard on Twitter Jul 28, 10:06 AM

[pathetic]

i really hope Light comes back. Solder is def not ready to protect TB

[skwormin]

Pats get haynesworth, he's probably gonna do great. NE is about the only team I can see him succeeding at.

[pathetic]

maybe this team will be able to stop someone on 3rd down this season

[dduncan6er]

:twak888

[pathetic]

blolololol the ESPN/Boston question is so dumb.
is the acquisition of haynesworth worth the risk for the patriots?

worth the risk of a 5th round draft pick for a player 2 years removed from being Defensive POTY? why even ask that dumb question?

[dduncan6er]

People are just looking for a way to put down the deal. It seems too good to be true.

[dmbbearcat]

According to a local Cincinnati radio station, the Pats have acquired Chad Ochocinco via trade. I can't find a written source yet, but it's likely true. I think he could be a good fit for you guys. Thoughts?

[dmbbearcat]

http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/6813469/cincinnati-bengals-deal-chad-ochocinco-new-england-patriots-source-says

Looks to be true.

[rickyh24]

This team is certainly adding character today :lol I'll take both players. Ocho isn't a pansy and doesn't mind going over the middle against the toughest defenders he will fit in well in this offense.

[dduncan6er]

Sportscenter just confirmed Ochocinco to the Pats.

Cue the duckboats!

[rickyh24]

Love love love love love this trade. Only a 6th and a 7th, AND he restructures a new deal to take less money and relieve the cap. Dude is a ball player. Watch the routes he runs.

How will this team ever be beat on Madden 12?

[DMBstandUP1984]

Good move for the Patriots...i always hated the bad rep Chad Johnson gets he is a good guy and a baller sure he has his diva moments but who doesn't. He is not a "take a top of the D kinda guy" he runs routes, fights to get open and listens to his coach/qb

haynesworth is just a cancer to a team, the players the league and the country..he paralyzed a guy on the freaking highway the guy is a bum....Felger and mazz had the punter from I think the Redskins on and he was saying guys in the locker room were scared to be around him

[DMBstandUP1984]

i'm loving this deal. the worst that could happen is that he sucks it up and the pats lose a 5th round draft pick. genius


and 5-6million dollars...which can be costly

[artiej1120]

and 5-6million dollars...which can be costly

The contract is non-guaranteed, they can cut him at any time

[DMBstandUP1984]

The contract is non-guaranteed, they can cut him at any time

I thought if he makes the roster even just week 1 he is owed that money..i forget what its called some veteran thing

[artiej1120]

I thought if he makes the roster even just week 1 he is owed that money..i forget what its called some veteran thing

He would be owed his week 1 game check. I believe it's week 6 or 10 they consider a full "league year" for a player, and after that point they earn their entire base salary. Could have changed with the new CBA though.

yeaa I haven't really looked at any details of the new CBA just excited that football is going to happen..and besides baseball, free agency doesn't get much more exciting then it does in the NFL

But I'm just going off of what I been hearing on sports radio.

[Rodey]

I am now a fan of the Patriots. (Due to Ocho)

[pathetic]

and 5-6million dollars...which can be costly

Costly for haynesworth if he doesn't show up ready to play

[pathetic]

The punter for the redskins is scared to be around haynesworth :lol :lol thanks for the intel

[DMBstandUP1984]

The punter for the redskins is scared to be around haynesworth :lol :lol thanks for the intel

Felger said "we know its a punter" but he was talking about people in the locker room in general..I assume in a Charles Haley kind of way

[DMBstandUP1984]

Haynesworth is going to have a problem with a controlling coach he had that issue with Shanahan and it does not get much more controlling than Belichick. Not to mention he still has a sexual assault case that has yet to go to trial hanging above his head...This guy is not Randy Moss or Cory Dillon he is just a bad human being. Is this not the same team that wanted to stay away from Dez Bryant in the draft because he has "character issues"

Also if this is the kind of guy they wanted why didnt they just keep Richard Seymour two years ago???

[DMBstandUP1984]

jets got Nnamdi Asomugha

[dmbmuskie]

Haynesworth is just a bad dude. Every team needs one or two of them.

[pathetic]

Haynesworth won't be a problem. If he is we lose a 5th round pick. Its worth the risk putting him on the same line as warren and wilfork.

[rickyh24]

Hopefully Warren is ready to go. Opened camp on the PUP list along with Hernandez and a few others.

[crashintonickdm]

those guys wont act up in NE.

fuck :(

I hope it's not more than a 2 year deal. I'd imagine Solder will be starting by the end of the season this year and he'll definitely be starting by next year.

I hope Hernandez doesn't let him have it. :lol

[pathetic]

I hope Hernandez doesn't let him have it. :lol

Lol, ya... Thats not gonna happen. Chad will pay anything for it

[dduncan6er]

Hernandez is also a 4th round pick who probably isn't making a ton of money. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to sell it for a nice price.

I know, but I would still love to see it not happen. :lol I can't stand OchoCinco.

[dmbbearcat]

There's nothing bad about Ocho. He likes attention, but he works very hard and he will thrive with New England for a few years. You guys will love him, and as a casual Pats fan, I'm looking forward to watching him with the Pats offense.

More than anything, I'm happy that he has a chance to play for a winning team and a competent organization.

Bottom 1. There is no worse organization. Mike Brown is an asshole.

However, he was treated extremely well in Cincinnati by both Marvin Lewis and especially the fans. I can't say how Mike Brown treats players because he's usually out of the spotlight, but he has no reason to regret playing in Cincinnati all those years.

[dmbbearcat]

Yeah people have this impression that he is a punk but he is far from it. Goes all out every play and will run any route you ask him.

Last year he was a lazy route runner, but in general he runs fantastic routes and he's an extremely hard worker. He's not a distraction in the same way that Randy Moss, Brandon Marshall and TO can be distractions.

[pathetic]

Well I hated the Randy Moss signing too, so hopefully I'm just as wrong about the Ocho signing.

:rolleyes only you could hate getting Future HOF'ers for late round draft picks a couple years from now

[rickyh24]

Warren had the 3rd highest cap hit on the team.

Yep. Most people in Ciny are scratching their heads today. Mike Brown just sucks. So glad that we got two mediocre years for Chad and then traded him for nothing instead of trading him when his value was high.

Complete lunacy.

[rickyh24]

DirectTV offers more HD as far as every sport goes. I will just use it for MLB, NBA and NFL and I'm getting the cheapest cable package. I would have never gotten it for just NFL but comcast fucking blows and only offers 2 hd games a night NBA and MLB wise and I have been having a shit ton of trouble streaming mlb games with the online package. Online package has HD but I'm sick of it. I just want something reliable.

[thebestauntie]

I liked DirectTV a lot, the only reason I switched to Fios is, well because it's Fios. :lol But I never had any problems with DirectTV, except for in extreme weather conditions, but that was rare. I think you'll be happy with it.

Also, not being able to watch sports in HD blows. I don't blame you for switching. Or rather adding. :lol

Pats sign Shaun Ellis to a 1 year deal pending a physical. Love, love, love this signing. Ellis is still a very good football player. Our boys could have the most stout d-line in the league this year.

[CrashDMB237]

Ellis will be good for you guys but he's lost quite a few steps and has become a health concern. It seems like the only games he showed up in were games against you guys. Don't get me wrong, I wanted him back pretty badly but I really don't think he's going to have a huge impact. I loved the Big Cat up until this morning :lol

Oh I'm not saying he's going to set the world on fire. I just think it's an awesome depth signing and he fits the system very well. They d-line is going to take up a fuck load of space this season. I love Rex's reaction:

TheJetsStream Manish Mehta
Rex on Shaun Ellis: "The fact that he chose them.. there's no way I'm going to wish him well. There's no chance of that."

[rickyh24]

Rex :lorraine

[dduncan6er]

Rex's obsession with the patriots is pretty weird.

[scrock25]

:lol :lol

:snot

[rickyh24]

Rex's obsession with the patriots is pretty weird.

Rex has a few weird obsessions. But ya the Pats one makes him come off like a little baby. He needs to worry about his own team.

[artiej1120]

Pats are said to be cutting Brandon McGowan. They're working out Dashon Goldson.

[jackisback24]

How's Albert doing?

I'm really excited to watch the first preseason game. Haven't been this excited to watch a preseason game in a few years.

Very interesting read on how things have been going at camp.

he held out and didnt have to report until there were 6 games left if he wanted to get paid

best news of the day!!!!

[dduncan6er]

Pretty pumped for the game tonight. I'm sure the starters will be out after a series or 2, but I'm interested to see the competition for spots and the d-line and I'm exicted to see Mallett take some snaps.

[rickyh24]

Does Sunday Ticket broadcast the preseason games?

[dduncan6er]

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I'm just assuming they don't because it seems like it's all local crews and production that does the coverage. It's on the CBS affiliate out here but I don't think CBS produces it.

[dduncan6er]

Nice article about the defense.

[pathetic]

what the fuck is barstool doing? putting up a pic of brady's kid naked. what dumbasses

[dduncan6er]

That was stupid. Very stupid. That may be the end of barstool which absolutely sucks because I love that site.

[pathetic]

oh, ya, dont get me wrong. i love barstool and love it when the guys on with D&C, but this is crossing the line big time

[dduncan6er]

Oh most definitely. He's going to take so much wrath for this it's not even funny. The sad part is that he's really not a bad guy at all. He was trying to be funny and he just completely went overboard. The outsiders that have never been on the site and don't understand the guy are gonna try to portray as him as a pervert and a terrible guy which is just not true.

[rickyh24]

Unreal.....

[rickyh24]

The write up on that pic is embarrassing.

[pathetic]

The write up on that pic is embarrassing.

it's the worst part of the article. he's usually a funny, intelligent guy. this was so dumb

[rickyh24]

this guy is probably done.

[rickyh24]

Caller on eei was saying this is a felony in mass. Says he is an ex cop.

[pathetic]

yeah, i heard that. said it's a felony for the person that took the pic and sold it, person who bought it, and owner of the site

[dduncan6er]

This really sucks. It was a dumb move but I really hope the guy doesn't face jail time.

[rickyh24]

Fuck this team.

[rickyh24]

:lol nice job Hernandez.

[rickyh24]

I'm done.

[thebridge15]

El Pres is an enormous douchebag. Huge. Doesn't mean he's not usually really funny. But he's not right in this case and neither is WEEI. He shouldn't have posted the picture and can't call people idiots for getting mad about it. It was obvious they would be. But people shouldn't be that outraged. It fits in perfectly with the Brady Blog and is in no way pornographic.

I'm more worried about the guy that took the picture in the first place.

[dmbbearcat]

Did Brady not play tonight?

[rickyh24]

It's not pornography to a normal person but to some fuck ups in this world it is. That is the issue. It's not the fact that it is a naked 2 yr old that is normal its the fact that the picture was obviously taken with a pretty hefty zoom lens. It's creepy as hell and the fact that Barstool ran with it and possibly paid for the picture makes them just as bad as the person who took it.


and then there is the write up with it. Which takes it to a whole different level. I would be fucking irate if that was my kid.

[rickyh24]

Did Brady not play tonight?

He is not playing.

[pathetic]

Price had a great Td catch.

How is weei in the wrong bridge?

[rickyh24]

16-0.....

He looks fast as hell.

i want to see what he can do running behind mankins

[RJP2741]

:thumbsup:thumbsup

[dduncan6er]

Only negative from last night's game is that Hernandez fumbled twice. I'm sure that'll put him in BB's doghouse.

[thebridge15]

If you fumble the football, I will break my foot off in your John Brown hindparts. And then you will run a mile.

[rickyh24]

It's going to be sort of sad when Kevin Faulk gets cut.

[dduncan6er]

Yea it will be. But I don't see how you can justify carrying him over any of the other 4 RB's. It wouldn't shock me to see Rex try to be a smart ass and sign him when he gets cut.

[crashintonickdm]

lol @ 47 points.

looks like another super bowl is coming. fuck

I'd say 2 series. I know Ocho is looking forward to playing tonight so I would imagine Brady will be in for two full series to give Ocho some good looks.

[pathetic]

it would be hilarious if brady played two series of all running plays just to see if chad bitches

Oh my God, that would be epic! :lol :lol :lol

[TempHelpNeeded]

Depending on length of the drives; I would say =. If a fumble or some snafu happens early then perhaps over with a third drive.

[TempHelpNeeded]

Child please.

[dduncan6er]

Brayd will probably play the whole 1st quarter. He needs to get reps in and probably won't be playing the 4th pre-season game.

[pathetic]

Wood!head!!!
