Chiefs Newest Speculation on Mankins to the Chiefs... - Page 4

Well ladies and gentlemen, the worm may be turning for Logan Mankins. (Pure speculation of course.

)

NFL Rumors – Would the Patriots Trade Logan Mankins?

The New England Patriots are waging a war internally against left-guard holdout Logan Mankins…and they’re winning decisively, giving rise to some NFL betting rumors about trading their Pro Bowl lineman The Patriots have always been an NFL team that gambles their own internal constitution against those of players and agents, holding the team above all else.

Tom Brady proved that the right way to get paid by Robert Kraft is to show up for work, say the right things and keep your fingers crossed.

That’s pretty much the opposite of what Mankins did. He hasn’t been seen anywhere near the Patriots except to stir the pot of his contract negotiations. Dan Connolly, who serves as the current starting left-guard next to Matt Light, did a very admirable job against the Bengals on Sunday. Brady suffered just two quarterback hits the entire game, and was protected well enough to enjoy zero sacks.

Which pretty much paints a clear picture for what the Patriots have to do with Mankins, and that’s trade him. Get his disgruntled ass out of New England and in a new uniform so both parties can move forward. So which teams are the best candidates to swing for the fences with Mankins? NFL rumors insist it’s the Cowboys, but the Chiefs are a much more logical landing spot for him.

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys are the obvious choice to trade for Mankins because they’re desperate. On top of that, they’ve shown a willingness to give up exactly what the Patriots will be looking for in a trade. They’ll pay Mankins while sending a second-round draft pick (or more) to give Tony Romo the type of protection he needs.

The glaring weakness for Dallas was their horrific offensive line play, which needs any help it can find in free agency. Jerry Jones has never been shy when it comes to making trades, and sending Mankins out of the division and the AFC would be seen as a smart move, especially if they can get a good draft pick in return.

New York Jets

The Jets clearly need someone better than Matt Slausen at their own left-guard spot, but they’ll have to send a boat load to make the Patriots trade Mankins in the division. Still, as the McNabb trade proved, it isn’t beyond reason for teams to trade Pro Bowlers to a big rival. The Jets have to do something to give Sanchez a fighting chance because Slausen is a huge liability on the offensive line.

Kansas City Chiefs

Pioli loves acquiring Patriots and is more than willing to give up draft picks and money to get them. With the Chiefs riding a clear wave of momentum after upsetting the Chargers on Monday Night. Brian Water hold down the fort at left-guard for the Chiefs right now, but at 33-years old the youth movement in Kansas needs someone to replace him.

Hell, he gave Matt Cassel $63 million when he came over from New England. There’s no way he’d pass up a chance to protect that investment by paying Mankins the $45 million or so that he wants.

I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to be paid like one of the best lineman in the league. He does. It’s just that the Patriots don’t need him like they need Tom Brady which is why their wallet will stay closed as their ears remain open to NFL rumors and trade options teams like Chiefs and Cowboys float his way.

It depends on the compensation to NE, especially considering the Chiefs have two capable left guards currently residing on the roster (and one rookie that can play left guard).

I live in Arizona now and all the dumbasses I work with say the same thing. "Hey how about Kansas last night, your Chiefs did well!" I have nothing against Kansas, that's my college team, Rock Chalk!, I just don't like it when people get it wrong thinking that the Chiefs are in Kansas. I always correct them but the idiots keep on doing it. I'm weird like that though.

He's not seeing that money either way. If he's good this year, they renegotiate that deal, if he's the same Cassel as last year, he's gone.

Thanks for the splanation.

That's why I qualified it with "maybe not." Seriously though, if there were such a move planned we would have seen Waters play center some in the preseason. The regular season is no time to experiment.

No prob. Chances are there that we'll have a new QB next year if we see the same Cassel. Pioli and Haley are not patient people despite what some people say. They won't be afraid to get his ass out of here if Cassel is doing nothing but reeruning the rebuilding process.

Well, keep in mind, it is KANSAS City, not Missouri City.

I've met hundreds of people in California throughout the years that have no idea that the KANSAS City Royals and KANSAS City Chiefs don't play in Kansas.

It's understandable. They have no idea that there's a KCMO and KCKS. I explain it to these Arizona tards all the time lol.

Pioli is familiar with Mankins and I trust him to make the right move either way. (BTW, I've got nothing against Richardson.) Time will tell.

i'm hoping Asomoah turns into a great center anyway

Albert,lilja,Asomoah,O'callahan,Mankins

btw Mankins has subbed at tackle before in NE and looked good at it.

Laz, Ive tried to keep from blasting you because you seem like a good hearted dude and all that means well, but what in Gods creation makes you think a man with as slow of feet as Ryan Ocallaghan could play right guard?

Why? Asasomah is a natural right guard, a potentially dominating one. Why mess with his natural position?

I think he is talking in the realm of us trading for Mankins and developing Asamoah as a center.

I wouldnt be totally opposed to such, but I do agree that his best position is RG.

I argued with an ex of mine years ago over that.I had to get online and pull up Arrowhead Stadium before she'd believe me.
