Pashos Signs With Jags. AD to Pats

[PurpleRulz]

Per PFT. profootballtalk.com

Also The Pats are pushing hard to sign AD within the next 24 to 48 hours.

[ExiledRaven]

....no no no no no .... :(

The Pats are the LAST team I wanted to sign AD.

[deuce]

So in other words the Pats are trying to sign him just like SF, CLE & others?

Good luck to Pashos.

[GreenWave52]

I hope AD goes to SF. I was actually surprised the PAts didn't compete with us to sign AD the last time his contract was up.

I'm pissed about losing Pashos. And I'm starting to have a bad feeling about next year.

Here come the chicken littles! The Hall of Famer Pashos has left what in the world can we do now?? AD wants an 18 mil signing bonus and 7 mil a year. When has NE ever spent that much on a FA? I still expect SF or Mia for AD.

[UKRavenStockers]

Best of luck to Pashos, wish he was staying but best of luck with your new team. Same to AD, I hope it's the 49ers so I can get a #96 home jersey and #85 road jersey for the 9ers ;)

Im not to worried about pashos leaving, with him leaving i think we will cut our false start penalties in half

[ravenwoman]

I think AD will ultimately sign with S.F. S.F. will offer the most money, the weather is better, and S.F. is an up and coming team. There is no guarantee the Pats are going to the Super Bowl. Past performance does not guarantee future performance. Also, Mike Nolan is there and so A.D. would know what to expect having worked for this coach before.

:thumbup: :iagree: Not to mention how hard it is to get to the PlayOffs in the AFC, not to mention the Superbowl. He has a much better chance of getting to both places in the pathetic NFC and especially with a team like San Fran. Good, (and familiar), coach, real up and coming team, he could provide some superior veteran leadership there.

Unless we only had 6 false start penalties last year, that ain't going to be the result of Pashos leaving.

Pashos' stats this year:

16 starts
5 penalties
30 penalty yards
3 false starts
2 sacks allowed
10.5 yards lost by sacks

Pashos was one of the best RTs in the NFL this year and losing him hurts a lot because there really aren't a great deal of alternatives out there and I don't think there is one who will play to the level Pashos did this year in pass protection, with a fragile QB back there that's massively important IMO.

Come on, you guys know I'm no chicken little. But I think it is fair to have serious concerns about replacing parts when no viable replacements are apparent. Some teams like the Pats and Eagles are very good at this. We are going to see if the Ravens are at that level or not.

I understand (and came to terms with) losing AD, but the Pashos thing was kind of a surprise and therefore more frustrating.

[ExiledRaven]

The deal for pashos is supposedly a 5 year deal....that implies pretty big money. I'm interested to see

[Gwaihir]

They better get Joe Staley in the draft, now. I think he could at least be adequate in the short term, and pretty darn good in the long. At least by being forced to play all these first and second year players on the O-Line now, the Ravens might actually sign them to long term, cap-friendly deals BEFORE they become FA's after three years and leave. Same thing happened with Rabach, he sits 2 years, is forced to play his third, does well, and leaves! That's BS, the Ravens need to lock up these youngsters they see promise in before they're forced to start in a contract year, do well and leave!

[bassgtrst]

Tampering??? C'mon! You cant possibly make first contact with a player and then less than 24 hours later agree to a new deal.

Lets see if he is this year's Kemo. I think that he is.

[ravcol]

Pashos was taken to the cleaners by Robert Mathis during the Colts game. Wasn't there when it really counted (like Billick and McNair). Wonder if that was brought up in the negotiations?

[Gwaihir]

I brought up the same point in another thread. Now he gets to face Mathis twice a year!

[Gabrosin]

Still hoping AD winds up in the NFC. He could extend the "window" for the Patriots and make them even tougher to surpass over the next couple of years.

[Sports Steve]

I will really miss Pashos. I wish him a lot of good luck and now he has some more money in his pocket.


:jester: :jester:

[Gabrosin]

Way to go Pastabelly. On Pashos, he predicts a landing spot in Miami or Tampa Bay. That's 2/3 of the Florida teams. Pashos goes to Florida and Pastabelly's still wrong.

:grbac:

[ExiledRaven]

Pashos reportedly got $9 million up front.

You were really surprised?

I wasn't in the least.

I'm not surprised he left, but if the report that he got nine million up front is true, I am surprised about that. He's not that good. Oh well, you sure can't blame him for taking the cash if some team wants to throw it at him.

From the ESPN article on the signing:

"Financial details of the two contracts were not yet available. But it is believed that Pashos, who has just one season of experience as a full-time starter, will receive an eight-figure signing bonus."


Again, ridiculous.

[bassgtrst]

profootballinsider says AD will get 7 per with a 17 million bonus.

Says it may be done tonight.

[Raineman]

I was more than pleased with Pashos' play this past season, and I think the team will miss him. My question is, where was he before playing in a contract year? You can't tell me that if he played that good all the time, he couldn't have beaten out Orlando two years ago.

I like the players that come in and "show their stuff", like Landry. It seems to me it may be a motivational thing, or a "want it more than others" thing.

Then again, what the **** do I know?

[Sports Steve]

Pashos is good but the Jags paid way too much money.
