Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 5236379, member: 2839"] I saw a report this morning that Edelman tore his ACL at age 32 and came back to have his most productive years. Jerry Rice tore his ACL at 35 in 1997. He came back and played less than 4 months later and then played 7 more seasons, catching for over 6,000 yards. No two players are alike, obviously, but receivers, by and large, experience less year-to-year wear & tear than other positions and medical technology is lightyears ahead from 30 years ago. Cutting is the big thing, but Diggs is said to be ahead of schedule and should be ready for Week 1. Ideally he would go through camp with Maye and build chemistry, but he is an asset in the WR room regardless. I really don't care about the money. It didn't cost the Patriots any picks or players. They have the cap room, less than half of it is guaranteed, and it's done before they have to pick up Maye's option or extend him. This is not the Giants resetting the market on a subpar QB, just because he happened to play in a road playoff game that the Giants happened to win, followed almost immediately by restructuring the contract. Diggs has a better track record. Overall, it's low risk high reward, by comparison. [/QUOTE]
