Well, news is just coming in that Robinson will receive the franchise tag, so I think he is now out of the Patriots’ equation. However, I think he would have been a very realistic target and would have made a lot of sense from the Patriots point of view.

However, if Robinson were to hit the open market, I kind of get the sense that his price tag would really skyrocket just do to the mere fact that he would be the top CB around. While he probably be had for $5-6 million a year normally, I think the market will inflate his value to possibly $8 or $9 million, making him out of the Patriots’ range.

I was wondering what you think may be the asking price on Dunta Robinson for the Patriots may be. I know he is injury prone but he’s obviuosly special. Is there any real possibility of him coming to NE at a reasonable price due to his history of injuries combined with the opportunity to make a championship run. There have been players who have wanted to go to the Patriots so bad they’ve given up money in the past.

Wow, great, thorough article.

I don’t really see the Pats resigning Sanders. Bit of a liability in pass coverage, average against the run.

Channing Crowder would be one hell of a pickup. I also think the Pats should pursue Leigh Bodden.
