Jets and Dolphins were expected to go after him. He's going to get dealt or he's going to be protecting Stidham.Thuney would have gotten a really big deal as a free agent and likely netted the Patriots a compensatory pick in the third round. Assume that if this is a tag-and-trade deal that's where compensation discussions would start.
Be nice to get a 2nd for 2020 since the Pats don't have one. Of course, the Commish then could just take it away for the illegal taping.Would be great if we could get a 2020 pick when we otherwise would have gotten a 2021 one.
Calais Campbell was just traded for a 5th round pick and was set to make $15M. Different positions, but pass rush tends to be valued more than interior OL.Be nice to get a 2nd for 2020 since the Pats don't have one. Of course, the Commish then could just take it away for the illegal taping.
It would be a sign-and-trade scenario, not just flipping the franchised player.Calais Campbell was just traded for a 5th round pick and was set to make $15M. Different positions, but pass rush tends to be valued more than interior OL.
I doubt a guard on a 1 year, $14M deal would net them a 2nd round pick. But yeah, that would be nice.
Just to clarify, Patriots LG Joe Thuney won't take up that $14.781M in salary cap space until he actually signs his franchise tag.
Sign-and-trade isn't really a thing in the NFL.It would be a sign-and-trade scenario, not just flipping the franchised player.
Campbell is going to be 34 in September. Thuney will be 28. If you sign Thuney to a 5 year deal, he's going to play for you for 5 years. Who knows how long Campbell has left. Huge difference IMO.Calais Campbell was just traded for a 5th round pick and was set to make $15M. Different positions, but pass rush tends to be valued more than interior OL.

Isn't that what the non-exclusive franchise tag is about? I haven't seen yet whether Thuney got the exclusive or non-exclusive tag.Sign-and-trade isn't really a thing in the NFL.
Right. Pats could also now try and sign him to a new deal before he signs the tender and possibly help save on the cap space.
Non-exclusive means a team can sign Thuney to an offer sheet and if the Pats elect not to match, they get two firsts. I don't see anyone giving up two firsts for him.Isn't that what the non-exclusive franchise tag is about? I haven't seen yet whether Thuney got the exclusive or non-exclusive tag.
I just meant using the non-exclusive tag as a prelude to a trade (though no doubt BB would love someone to hand over two #1's). I see your point now.Non-exclusive means a team can sign Thuney to an offer sheet and if the Pats elect not to match, they get two firsts. I don't see anyone giving up two firsts for him.
Yeah, for sure and I didn't mean to overlook the age difference. But both guys were/are on 1 year deals. Baltimore resigned Campbell to a 2 yr extension after the deal, similar to what a team would be looking at with Thuney, but for more years and dollars.Campbell is going to be 34 in September.

Yeah But has HE been a "model teammate and an essential element to our success since joining our team"?That's good news. But...Brady...
I suppose not.Yeah But has HE been a "model teammate and an essential element to our success since joining our team"?
