I'm curious as to what the difference in the offers was.

If it's a case like Damon's ($13M vs $10M), you cant blame him for leaving. If it's a small difference, then it's the Pats fault for not matching it. If they never gave the Pats a chance to match, Pizza Boy wanted out of Foxboro.

It is interesting. Adam has not had a smooth contract session with the Pats other than his first, right? Ever since it has bee some kind of arbitration/transition tag/franchise tag - maybe he just got sick of that too,,,

Unhappy when management

no loyality either way. gotta face the facts- it's a cold hard bussiness, not the game of our youth. since it's that way, who better to run the ship than bill and scott? they know what they're doing- have faith.
