Don't forget that Franchise tag we placed on Samuel...that was a big improvement.
That's exactly why signing Jericho early was a great move, now a tag doesn't have to be wasted on him and he's not disgruntled b/c of it.

It was a great move extending him before guys like Wes Welker got overpaid and would have shot up Jericho's pricetag so now we don't have to worry about losing him after next year or have to tag him like you did w/ Samuel.
It doesn't necessarily improve us but Welker, Washington and Stallworth don't necessarily improve NE either. Our WR corps is still MUCH better than yours but you have the edge at QB like you do against every team.
can you give me some links to this disgrunt of asante .i saw his interview a few days ago and seemed very happy with the situation.That's exactly why signing Jericho early was a great move, now a tag doesn't have to be wasted on him and he's not disgruntled b/c of it.

You're almost there but keep trying. Resigning a player doesn't improve you.
Dan Koppen is not a FA he is signed through the 2009 season.The list for NE is including Heath Evans and not Dan Koppen their center ????
can someone explain this please.I still think he is very important part of the offence as the defence caller and protection caller for OL.
Also, missing billy yates who signed a 3 yr contract...and is a SB winning lineman who is a backup but a terrific one .
This has to be one the most asinine statements ever. So, if the Pats chose not to resign Brady, it would be a neutral move?
Its a stand still move, that player was already there, already under contract for 07. If your team extended JT's contract would you consider your team Improved
Yes because keeping such a pivotal player on your team is a good move, it is not a downgrade so it must be an upgrade.

btw, even last year he pratices in florida .he usually does voluntary training their even when he was on contract....so i would not look into that unless if he was here before and not now.
You're almost there but keep trying. Resigning a player doesn't improve you. This thread was predicated on improving the team over what you previously had. If you really don't believe the additions of Welker, Stallworth and Washington aren't an improvement over Gaffney, Caldwell well there is no hope in me convincing you. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. My opinion is your just in denial.
My statement about Samuel was sarcasm. I'll give you this resigning Cotchery was a good move but it wasn't an improvement to the overall team.
Now this resigning is no garantee that somewhere down the road Cotchery won't feel cheated and hold out wanting a contract upgrade or a trade, not to mention injuries.
Don't belive everything you hear, this guy wants to get paid and he sees lesser caliber players breajing the bank w/ NE- you can bet he's upset.
IF Stallworth stays healthy and plays every game and gives his best effort then you will be improved but that's a BIG if. Welker does nothing for you, washington is garbage.
The fact that cotch won't have to worry about his deal is a plus. For some players they just want to get paid(seee Asante Samuel) but Cotch re-signed early and for less money so he's not just about the money and that is one less thing he and the team have to worry about so it improves morale.
Whatever. The results of this poll show that 34% of the responders believe NE has improved the most so that should tell you something about your opinions. I also find it rather funny that out of the 4 AFC East teams the jets came in last in the improved the most poll even losing out to the Bills. You've spun this more different ways but its obvious that the majority doesn't agree with you. With that I'm done trying to explain this any further to you and I'm confident that the season will prove out what I've said. Good luck trying to cover those crappy WR when your Jets play the Pats this season.

That's funny because if the Jets WR's are so much better then the Patriots, then how come the Patriots were ranked 11th in the NFL last year in Rec. and the Jets "great" Wr core was ranked 19th? Is the Jets QB that bad? Or is Brady that much better? I guess it doesn't make much of a difference either way because the WRS the Patriots will now be putting on the field this year are better than than the ones that ranked higher than the Jets last year. Also, last I checked Tom Brady was still the QB for the Patriots & Noodle Arm was still the QB of the Jets, ya see were I'm going with this???
