2025 News and Rumors

Nothing wrong with doing something nice for a player. It’s not like they turned down a top 3 draft pick like someone said we could get.

I don't disagree, but Milton wasn't a long term player who'd been through ups and downs over a period of time. One year and they did a nice thing and took less for a guy who apparently had more value?? When they keep talking about what's best for the team, one would think that a better deal would be best for the team.

On the other hand, maybe there's a little something going on under the covers that no one but the Patriots and Cowboys know about. Jerry Jones is having a real hard time getting Micah Parsons to sign a less than value contract extension. He's in the last year of his rookie contract and Jones is looking at Franchising him for the next two years if he doesn't sign it. The Patriots are one of a very few teams that could pay the guy near $40M a year, starting in 2025. Not saying that anything has been agreed, or even discussed. Just something that could be on a back burner.

After the trade for Milton my confidence is a bit shaken. They supposedly turned down better offers to make him happy? WTF happened to what's best for the team?

Maybe they did him a favor?

Maybe Dallas is where he wanted to go, or maybe Dak is injured often enough he thought he would have a greater opportunity to showcase his ability and take over?

Either way, I wish him the best but hope we don't ever see him beat the Pats.

It was Vrabel who said it.

Vrabel said they turned down better offers to make a guy who won't be on the team happy?

Trading a player to play for Jerrah does not seem like a favor. @PDay8810 ?

Nothing wrong with that... if he can back it up. But if he's using the Bill's game as proof, there's a real disconnect.
