Mankins wants out of NE

He turned down Mangold money($55 Mill) so that number you proposed is not even close.

source?

According to what was being reported on espn before yesterday's game, the issue isn't money. Per the report (and I'm working from memory) Mankins and New England reached agreement on a deal, but it was conditioned on Mankins having to personally apologize to Kraft for comments he made questioning his integrity during the offseason. Mankins did. This supposedly happened on a Friday and they were still hashing out a few details and Mankins was coming back on Monday to sign the finished deal. When he got back Monday, they told him that he would now have to do a second, public apology, at which point Mankins said f**k this and walked out.

I actually have no problem with this behavior. A bit of an attitude is good, wish some or our o-linemen had showed some yesterday.

Probably dreaming, but yeah, sign him.

because Mike Brown won't ever sign a Guard to a contract worth 40 million.

Payed Whitworth what 32? 38? Mayybe he'll change his mind after watching livings stink it up for another game.

won't pay to protect his 100M QB...

Can't blame the Guy Alexander probably would have Mankins ride the bench well his prodigy Livings starts.

Sounds like Hair is his agent.

FWIW, I'm not offended.

That said, I'm not sure how intersted I'd be in trading for Mankins. Because just like the situation in San Diego involving another top offensive lineman who refuses to report, the GM directly involved doesn't seem interested in trading the disgruntled player unless the trade itself is overwhelmingly in his teams favor. So both GM's are holding strong to hardline positions in the belief that the player has no realistic options available and can be broken eventually. For the record, I don't disagree.
