Saw it reported by Schefter on espn. Posted it on the decision today thread. So we've got multiple threads on it now.

YES!!!
I was just reading, the financial commitment to sign Chandler Jones, Jamie Collins and Jabaal Sheard was $158 million with over $90 million in guaranteed money. Maybe we need a new GM??

Patriots have to be thrilled with how this ended up playing out. $19 mil guaranteed over 4 yrs isn't bad at all for a guy of his caliber.

Some of us were hoping he'd get a deal with a lot of playing time incentives. At first glance that looks like the case. Very reasonable amount of guaranteed money.

AWESOME NEWS!!!! This was the lynchpin on defense. I feel a lot better now. Would still like to get Butler back in the fold. Then we can grab some guard and tackle depth, linebacker help, and a safety/LB hybrid to complete the foundation for the next 3-5 years. To drop your team's average age while trading for veterans is quite a trick. BB continues to amaze.

He got less than Collins. That had to sting him.

Now we need to sign Butler and Blount and we are set. Butler will be gone to NO and Pats signed Burkhead with starters salary or at very least compete for it

19-0, I guess this is just another of many date in Jet History which will live in infamy, they're now the "CUPCAKES" for eternity. Every day is Pearl Harbor for the Jets

while I am not saying that all the credit go to BB, this staff, when talking about best in business, is really the best at reading the market for a players value. not sayng they are 100%, but pretty close. glad High is coming back, and glad the Pats had the balls to allow him to explore the market for self worth.

Excellent news!! I'm happy he's the guy that stays over Jones or Collins. He wants to win more and is a true team leader.
