We should try to get Logan Mankins

[TXCowboyVol]

Probably by the time he's 38, but maybe we could make a play now?? Hanna (would flourish in their system taking over for Hermandead), and a 2nd?? Would ya?? Would they??

All the Pats have going for them is their offensive line. They aren't necessarily forced to stay in a 12 formation without hernandez. So no, there is no way they would make the trade, and no way we would make it either. They don't want expensive guards. We could have signed on in free agency without giving up a draft pick.

Gotta say this is a face-palm kinda thread.

It smacks of "Madden".

Mankins' bonus money would accelerate into their cap immediately. Without digging up the numbers, that would probably add about 10 million to their 2013 cap.

i don't think they would trade him and there is no way i would give hanna and a 2nd for him. he is too old for that much compensation and he make nearly 6 mil a year

This smacks more of total delirium, but I am willing to embrace lunacy should the OP make a reasonable trade for Mankins happen that would not cripple us financially. Make it so, oh wise, yet possibly delirious poster!

Can people be required to pass a basic test of football knowledge before being allowed to create new threads? ):

Never deal with the Pats, they always come out on top.

No, by all means, let's fall apart. It is a lot more fun for posters to lament things like this by beating of their breasts and flogging themselves with a croc of nine tails. LOL

Knowledge about salary cap situations and football knowledge are two different things.

That was pretty insulting to the OP.

Ah, the annual Logan Mankins thread.

Now it's really football season.

Well, I'll give you that... but there are better ways to get that point across.

It just seemed a little arrogant is all.

No I would rather see what we can do this year with FA or what's currently on the team and enter into next year's draft with OG in mind. That way we will have a young line that can grow together. Please keep in mind IF Leary starts that will give us 3 guys around the age of 22-24 with T. Smith being 22 going into his 3rd yr. in the NFL. I want a young "strong/nasty" Guard to go with what we have now.

 

[daschoo]

I think we should try to get Brady, Megatron, Trent Richardson and J.J. Watt

Pretty much par for the course...
