The rent a star at LT is to keep the rookie QB from getting killed. The Pats had plenty of cap space to overpay at LT, especially on a 1 or 2 year deal that would not put the team in a future cap bind and give the team time to find a more long term solution at LT.Whiffed?
JEST offered him a contract up to $20m. They also offer Aaron Rodgers. They're all in this year.
I don't get where the Pats should grab 33 year old (or 32 - Allen) at this point in a rebuild. Rent-a-star is for teams ready to make a run. This team isn't it.
They missed on a few really good younger players this FA. But I won't complain about them missing on soon-to-be-extinct dinosaurs. Those are always a gamble - Buffalo had to shed a bunch of talent this year for Von Miller.
