I missed a chance to have a pic taken with this guy a few years ago and I still regret it. I’d love to know who he is and what his story is, because we might be long lost brothers.

I find it odd that Koppen would get a legit 2-year contract – at solid money – after getting little interest on the free agent market. I mean, who were the Patriots bidding against? The Titans didn’t really pursue Koppen after his visit and certainly weren’t going to give him much money. That’s why I think it’s likely a 1-year contract. Unless Tom Brady mandated that as part of his restructure the Patriots bring Koppen back at a decent wage.

Earlier this offseason, the Patriots gave Dan Connolly a 3-year, $10-million contract with $3.25 million as a signing bonus. That was solid starter’s money, but not enough for the Patriots to feel bad about sending him to the bench if they have to.

I think the Koppen signing makes it a “best five” situation on the line. If Koppen beats out Connolly, he beats him out. And the Patriots won’t really care. But they think Connolly will win the job.

Dan Koppen returning to Patriots

Good news from Adam Schefter today as Tom Brady’s long time center will be back in the mix for 2012. I’m not sure how it will play out between Koppen and his 2011 replacement Dan Connolly but really it doesn’t matter at this point. Injuries are a huge part of the game and you can never have too many good, experienced offensive lineman to protect your quarterback, especially ones with Koppen’s intelligence and experience. Another solid team-building move for New England.
