Patriots
For Patriots fans, who were looking forward to the team's plan, the newly installed head coach Mike Vrabel had some hopeful words in Indianapolis on Tuesday at the placement of the NFL rookie scouting combinat.
Vrabel was asked in regards to the team's plan for the free agency and upgraded the squad (potentially on trade) and gave a straightforward overview.
“Hopefully aggressive. We want to be aggressive, ”Vrabel explained The team's strategy in a press conference. “We want to address players from whom we believe that they will help us will be the excellent players that will be the excellent additions to the changing room and in the community. And if all of this fits and the compensation fits, I am confident that we are aggressive. “
“We started some of these discussions internally,” added Vrabel.
In his view, the patriots with the players have to be realistic and versatile that the team goals at, and the offers that attempt to make it.
“I think with different plans and options A and an option B – I mean, things will change,” remarked Vrabel. “Everyone looks at the same players, so we have to be able to turn and adapt and to have a view for every player that I would say at every level.”
He outlined the expectation that the plan for the free agency will move in several phases.
“There will be this high level that things will be done very quickly,” said Vrabel. “That will perhaps only go over just a few mid-range dollars, after which obviously take a have a look at the chances.
“The freelance agency is therefore divided into compensation and then divided into the opportunity, and I think we are able to offer both of these players both the compensation and the opportunity.”
The patriots can definitely offer financially competitive terms, since New England currently has many of the salary limit within the league (projected by Over the cap be greater than 128 million US dollars).
Vrabel used an auto analogy when he was asked whether the team was able to pay through the market value to get a player that he really wants.
“I like to buy like everyone else,” said Vrabel. “So if you go and only give a certain car, you may have to pay a little more for this one car because there is only one of them. If you get into a range in which you feel that there is an area in which the players are comparable and you like three or four players in a certain area for a specific role, you may not have to spend too much.
“But it’s free agency; I feel everyone sometimes overtakes within the free agency. “
