ESPN’s Adam Shefter reports that the Patriots and Logan Mankins have come to terms on a 6-year contract.
Wow, I don’t know where to start. Has there ever been a more tenuous contract situation for the Patriots that actually resolved itself in a long term deal like this?
As everyone has known all along it always seemed like a no brainer to re-sign Mankins long term. He’s a mauler. He’s never missed a game to injury. His name is Mankins. And perhaps most importantly, he was due to make $10 million this year.
We’ve all been led to believe that BB values the guys along the lines more than the wide outs or cornerbacks so it was hard understanding how they wouldn’t do everything they could to make Mankins a Patriot for life. Well it’s finally done. Yay!
We don’t need to rehash that last two years of Mankins drama, but I am surprised and ecstatic that they finally got something done. Mankins is the kind of player you build championship teams around, and I look forward to watching him maul fools for another six years.
