Not so fast on Emmanuel Sanders to New England

[stillers4me]

When we passed along the report (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/16/report-emmanuel-sanders-has-signed-offer-sheet-with-patriots/) from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette saying Emmanuel Sanders (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5885/emmanuel-sanders) had signed an offer sheet with the Patriots, we noted that there was no information about the terms of Sanders’ offer sheet, and that no other media outlets had confirmed the report.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, there’s a good reason for that: Sanders hasn’t actually signed an offer sheet with the Patriots. The Observer-Reporter also reported that Sanders left New England without signing (http://www.observer-reporter.com/article/20130315/SPORTS0403/130319523#.UURaBHyk_e6).

You know, I would not put it past Bilicheat to pull off this move just to put the Steeler's in a more dire predicament.

Belichick is very smart and there is no doubt in my mind he is factoring in the adverse consequences to a strong opponent when they make an offer like this....but I would also imagine he would hate giving up a third round pick equally as much.

Bouchetter was drunk again when he claimed he was signed

I was right - Bouchette was drunk


Updating a previous item, the Washington Observer-Reporter reports restricted free agent Emmanuel Sanders left New England Friday without signing an offer sheet.

It appears the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette jumped the gun

Emmanuel Sanders: When a Dream Becomes Reality (http://www.facebook.com/TheNextGreat88) I have NOT been offered anything. Balls out of my court. All I can do is continue to grind and trust the man above. He has the plan for me...
