Punching Bag Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19352288/new-england-patriots-issue-rare-9-tender-legarrette-blount The tender, which is a seldom-used mechanism, means that if Blount remains unsigned past July 22, he can only play for the Patriots during the 2017 season. If he signs before that date with another team, Blount would count toward the 2018 compensatory draft pick formula. The tender carries a value of 110 percent of a player's base salary from the year before, which would amount to $1.1M for Blount. There was an expectation that Blount's market, which has been quiet to this point, would pick up now that the date has passed that unrestricted free agent signings do not count toward the compensatory formula, but this tender could cool a potential market.

I hope it causes FAs to pause b4 signing with the Pats.How is he getting screwed? The pats don't want to lose him for nothing, but if he was good enough a team would sign him. The same way the Pats signed Gills because they thought he was worth a 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master is alive and well. How is he getting screwed? The pats don't want to lose him for nothing, but if he was good enough a team would sign him. The same way the Pats signed Gills because they thought he was worth a 5th Why didn't they work a deal I wonder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) 1161* But, leading the league in rushing touchdowns and still get the crap end of the stick is a raw deal. How is this a raw deal? He can still sign elsewhere and the team singing wouldn't have to give anything up... Plus, the market wasn't exactly great for him to begin with. Moreover, there is no saying the pats would get a comp pick. It's based on what he signs for... Downside he makes money to be on the best team in the league.

4_kidd_4 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Nope. Nothing less. The Master is alive and well. He gets stronger every time someone puts an asterisk next to "Patriots". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob16151 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It's funny that happened to Blount,considering he screwed over the Steelers awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Maiden Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Belichick is really above everyone else.....BTW, it doesn't really screw Blount...the comp pick does not come from the team who would pick LB...Would the Giants or Lions hesitate to pick him up because NE will get a 5th next year ?.....I don't think so.... That chess vs checkers is getting old, but it is accurate.... So lets screw them and sign him! That would actually help them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
