Blount to Eagles 1 year deal

[bababooey]

Had offers from the Cards and Giants.

 

Over/under on how many weeks until he plays himself out of favor in Philly and is back in New England?

When is the Eagles bye week? That's the week I pick.

I was just thinking the same thing.  Watch him pull the same stunt he did in Pittsburgh, re-sign with Philly, and New England still gets his departure as part of their comp pick calculation

Yep...he won't be playing...NE will have a couple rbs get dinged up...they will then trade Philly a bag of deflated footballs for him and he will end up starting and finishing the year with double digit TDs.

 

So do NE get his compensatory value now since they tendered him a few weeks ago? Not that it might matter too much but Bill placed that tender on him for a reason.

Yes.  NE should add his value into their comp pick calculations, and PHI should subtract his value from their comp pick calculations.

They won't trade for him. Philly will just release him and the pats will tell all other teams not to claim him because they want him.

They won't even need to call the other teams.  They'll just tell him not to sign with another team.  He'll obediently pass up on paychecks waiting for them to call him to play in one game at a time...

Yup, the rich get richer. And now we know why Goodell hates the Patriots, because in a league where the commissioner values parity, New England is giving us all the middle finger and bending the rules by digging into manuals for long-lost loopholes. Remember the eligible substitutions against the Ravens in the playoffs?... Yea, the league banned that the following off-season.
