That's an extremely big 'if', considering Vollmer 1) is one of the top players across the entire league at his position and 2) has a history of back problems.

Vollmer is a must sign guy. The Patriots have a franchise tag.
I don't think it's really that hard to believe he will be a Patriot next year.

Are you assuming they will sign Welker after the season but before free agency starts? Between the two, Welker is (IMO) much more of a "must keep" and he's a much more worthy use of the franchise tag. Paying $8-9M for a RT - even an excellent one - is a huge waste of resources. |

There are some Tackle needy teams in the NFL - I guess the market will decide what happens with this one and I think there'll be a few buyers out there. |

Someone's gonna scoop up Vollmer and use him as a LT, where he can also become elite. I have no doubt about it. Good riddance....

Good riddance to Vollmer? Yeah, because I hate having the best right tackle in the league on my team... |

Is my sarcasm detector broken??
Vollmer is a beast, why would we not want two tremendously gifted Tackles protecting our GOAT QB??

My point was, some team is gonna throw it all in for him. Of course, if we even let him get to free agency. I really hope we don't.

Good instincts. Not sure he'll ever be a top safety, but he could be a steady/reliable guy for a number of years. Given the total lack of talent at safety in the NFL, some team will take him a round higher than he should probably go. |
