      Patriots sign Manny to offer sheet

      According to Adam Schefter from ESPN, the Patriots have signed Manny Sanders to a one year offer sheet and the Steelers will have one week to match or will receive a 3rd round pick as compensation. I find it weird that it is only for one year. New England must have found a loophole to make it difficult for the Steelers to match. What are the chances the Steelers find a way to keep him? Do they extend Troy like they did with Aaron a couple years ago to free up the cash or do they just let him walk and go with the youth movement that is needed? What yinz think?

                  I don't think that it works that way. I believe that the Pats will have to go out and get one. Strange how that works though, what would happen if it was KC who signed him and then went out and traded for Baltimore's third? You would think that if a team wants to sign a RFA then they should be required to own their own pick.

                      That gives the team 4 picks in the first 100. I don't know if I just let him walk and start to rebuild this aging team the way it's always been done, through the draft. Manny is probably not worth the money New England shelled out to hurt us.

                          Looks like receiver just jumped up considerably on the list of need... along with just about every other position. Need to have a jam up draft this year or we're going to be mediocre for several years to come...especially if the injuries happen in mass numbers like they have the last few years.

                            Patriots sign Emmanuel Sanders to offer sheet

                            The Patriots are making a move for wide receiver [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5885/emmanuel-sanders"]Emmanuel Sanders[/URL].

                            Sanders, a restricted free agent from the Steelers, has signed an offer sheet with the Patriots, according to multiple reports.

                            That means the Steelers will have five days to either match the Patriots’ offer and keep Sanders, or decline to match it and let Sanders become a Patriot. If the Steelers don’t match, they get the Patriots’ third-round draft pick, No. 91 overall.

                            The offer is reportedly a one-year contract. The Patriots have more cap space than the Steelers this season, so it wouldn’t be hard for New England to offer Sanders a higher salary in 2013 than the Steelers can afford to pay. But if the Patriots send the Steelers their third-round draft pick they’ll be almost out of ammunition in the draft: They’ve already traded away their fourth-round pick for
                            [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4640/aqib-talib"]Aqib Talib[/URL], their fifth-round pick for [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/2636/albert-haynesworth"]Albert Haynesworth[/URL] and their sixth-round pick for Chad Ochocinco.

                            Sanders visited the Patriots a month ago, and the possibility that he could land in New England has been much-discussed since then. If the Steelers don’t match, then the Patriots have taken a big step toward filling the gaps in their receiving corps, and the Steelers — who have already lost
                            [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5329/mike-wallace"]Mike Wallace[/URL] in free agency — will be down two of their top three wide receivers.

                              We will receive the 91st pick overall and 1.3 million in cap space if we let him walk. We could sign Steve Breaston for the vet min by now I am sure and that would fill the spot. Take Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey and we are set. No worries
