Pats sign DE Ty Warren to 5-Yr extension

[Ickybaluky]

From PFT, reporting what Schefter said:

The Patriots have signed defensive end Ty Warren to a five-year, $36 million extension, which includes $17.5 million in guaranteed money, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network.

Warren had two years remaining on his rookie deal, which was signed after the Pats made him a first-round pick in 2003. He was due to earn $1.075 million in base salary this year and $1.45 million in base salary in 2008.

Warren, along with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork, make up the the Pats front-3, which is the foundation of their defense. He has improved steadily since they drafted him (using a 1st round pick obtained from Buffalo for QB Drew Bledsoe) and was the Pats best DL last year (Seymour was playing with an elbow injury that required surgery in the offseason).

Warren has been a quiet achiever for the pats d. He's similar to Schobel shows up does his job and has quietly become one of the best at his position.

Terroizing or getting thrown around by peters. Warren is ok, but not worth the money the pats gave him.

I disagree he is much better than ok, and I believe its Seymour who matches up v. Peters no Warren.

Im just going by last year when peters played rt. He destroyed warren. Now can walker do it? Who knows? but a team like the patriots have to choose wisely who they extend. I just feel the money could be spent else where. Locking up samuel maybe?

His stats are very comparable to Kelsay's with the advantage in coaching and suuport cast going to Warren. Does that mean he's been overpaid by the Pats too?

Warren's guaranteed 17.5

Kelsay's guaranteed is 13

looks to me that that's the going rate for average DE's.

I think people need to apologize to those who said we overpaid for Kelsay. Let's start with the one who called Marv clueless ........ Moran.

No way is Kelsay worth close to what Warren is avg per year;

06 Season:
Warren-7.5 sacks, 56 tackles, 1sfty, 4 pd
Kelsay-5.5 sacks, 41 tackles, 4pd

Career:
Warren-153 tackles, 13.5 sacks, 8pd
Kelsay-100 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 8pd

I think Warren is worth the money while Kelsay is not, alot of Kelsay's tackles come from behind and we've been over these arguments before.

[Tatonka]

oh.. and you watch all of new englands games and know what direction warrens tackles come from..



how absurd.

Did I state the direction of Warren's tackles? Do you honestly think Kelsay is on par with Warren in terms of impact?

[BillsFever21]

Terroizing or getting thrown around by peters. Warren is ok, but not worth the money the pats gave him.

Kelsay got 6 million a year. Warren got 6 million a year. Sounds like a better deal for the Patriots then for us.

[BillsFever21]

Stats doesn't matter to them people unless it can offer some sort of help towards their arguement for some average Bills players.

Warren is almost two years yonger then Kelsay which makes a big difference in how they will perform by the end of the contract. Younger players usually get more then older players.

[Ickybaluky]

Warren is a 3-4 DE, you can't compare him to Kelsay. It is interesting, though, that Warren has more career sacks that Kelsay despite being a 3-4 DE.

The Pats value their DL much more than CB.

Warren is one of their key building blocks up front, part of arguably the best DL in football. He dominated the LOS last year and was their best DL. You can't use stats to quatify a 3-4 DL, because their primary job is to control 2 gaps and allow the LB to make the tackles. Warren, Seymour and Wilfork are the best in the NFL at controlling the LOS, and it is the key to the Pats defense.

As for Peters dominating him, did he do so on the sack/safety Warren had that won the first game last year? If he dominated him so much, why did Buffalo only average 3.6 yds/rush in the 2 games against NE?

[The Spaz]

People give players too much respect simply because they play for NE. **** NE. NE

Yep it was strictly Peters fault.
