Pats Decline Cooper's 5th Year Option

This is great news. So after he kills it this year we can resign him. I am sure he will want to sign a team friendly deal to get back to where it all started

That doesn't mean they won't resign him, just that they won't pick up the option on the current contract. But I agree that it would be cool to get him back if for depth if nothing else.

funny funny

interesting how we got a proven Pro Bowl DE and they got a worthless G.

I know they got the 2nd round pick, but I'll take Chandler Jones in this trade rather than Coop and a 2nd all day.

Cards time is now

The Patriots ended up trading down with that pick to the Saints - the Saints selected Vonn Bell (FS - Ohio State) with the pick.

Don't ever doubt Bill Bellichek. He never does anything without there being a clear purpose for him and his team. I hate the Patriots but Bellichek is unfortunately an evil genius.

makes sense to not pick up the option...the salary is pretty high....on the other hand if he has a decent year and fits in with the team well,...they can always re-sign him later.

Saw him several times at clubs in Old Town while he was here. He'd show up with a large group, posse. Every time he showed up with his crowd, the club all of a sudden seemed to reek of weed. Not saying he was, but his group definitely was. It was then that I knew he wasn't fully invested.
