Darrelle Revis of New York Jets sits out some plays to protest deal - ESPN New York (http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5284871)
But the bigger story could be Logan Mankins, there'll be a story up on it soon but he's going to sign his tender today which could expedite his trade.
Mankins has said he doesn't want to play for the Pats anymore and wants to be traded, and the Pats apparently are willing to move him.

not sure how old mankins is but if the pats want a 2nd rounder and he's around 26 or so then i'd consider it.

also revis looks like a baby. if you don't want to practice then stay the hell home and cry to your agent about your contract. if you're going to get 12 mil a year for playing cornerback and you turn it down then you need to go bag groceries or something.

Good player, that Logan Mankins. Hard to imagine him having as much success -- and as many pro bowls -- elsewhere as in New England. He has long been the best piece of a very competent line, along with a great technician in Dan Koppen at Center. Not too many other places he can go to the status quo.
The Broncos and Chiefs could be a destination, with the Chiefs being most likely.

So he is on the same level we have here

So he is on the same level we have hereWell, he'd instantly be our best lineman, but I think we're already trying to develop Trent Williams in that role, so there's not a good reason to go out and grab a veteran in the role of line leader.
I mean, he'd be an easy fit at RG on this team, but our system is different than NEs, and he wouldn't really fix the problems on the line, so much as he would just upgrade a single position on the interior.

If that would be the case I would have to go get him you have to, not for LT but I've got plenty of concern on the line. Shouldn't you put him next to Trent so you solidify the left side. Not only does it help Trent but it helps McNabb's blindside.
