right now, more than we can afford and about twice of what he is worth.

see clements, nate.

u/l he is willing to play this year through the franchise tag, we need to trade his *** for a 1st rounder.

if he does play, more likely than not his expected salarly for an extension should drop over the year, b/c right now, the market has never been better for a CB.

what clements got was absurd. while samuels is not as good as clements, he will still get a top dollar offer from someone right now

He's not worth what he wants, so it's a no-go on "paying him to make him happy", he's not a good enough player to overpay for to make him happy.

Too Much. Once clements signed his monster deal, I said goodbye to asante. I was actually surprised it took him that long to demand a trade.

please stop creating statements. he demanded to be traded IF the patriots do no intend to negotiate. his complant was that there has been no progress. then again, why would they have any incentive BEFORE the draft. it may not be a major caveat, and he may very well end up being traded, or actually expressly demanding a trade, but that is not what he has done at this point. he wants to be here. hes not ty law. it isnt all about the money.

but it is very much about the money, and the pats will have to pay near what he wants to keep him long term.

anyway, things will be clearer on monday.

What? you mean giving my oppinon? All I have been doing is, giving my oppinon on a certain player, and then asking for others thoughts on that player? It's not like I make up rumors with false links.

If you dont like my type of posting, thats fine. But could you please just hit the ignore button next time, instead of calling me out. Thanks.

im not trying to call you out, and i dont want to ignore you because you dont annoy me or anything and we dont have too many people on this board. but you said he demanded a trade and thats not actually what he did. i didnt mean to offend you.

i hope if i said seymour played quarterback someone would tell me. itsnotlike youre the only person who hs said he demanded a trade either, youre just the last person, and i responded a little more directly to your comment. anyone who says he flat demanded a trade is inaccurate.
