Jerod Mayo restructures contract


One of the big offseason questions was what would the Patriots do with Jerod Mayo's contract. Sounds like we have the answer.



This is big news for the Patriots defense. Having lost Vince Wilfork as the anchor in the middle, and being thin at the line backer position, they couldn't afford to lose Mayo as a salary cap casualty. Mayo is the leader on defense and is the one responsible for getting the defense lined up during the game. If he stays healthy, the linebacker corp will be one of the strong points of the team. With the Jaime Collins and Donta Hightower having progressed with leaps and bounds over the last two years with him out you have three quality starters that can all cover and attack the line of scrimmage.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
