There is no way to sweeten this one: the patriots are about to make a huge mistake.
During the season, Mike Onwenu told a to z sports exclusively that he wants to stay with the team that gave him his first opportunity. And after the way he played this season, new England should be jumping on this opportunity.
But that’s not the case, according to ESPN’s jeremy fowler, the patriots “actually know Onwenu isn’t returning, and he will have high bidders.” fowler said that a lot of teams across the league “view Onwenu as the best offensive lineman in free agency because of his size, quickness, and ability to play guard or tackle.” And the patriots have money this season.
So what’s the problem? throughout his four seasons with the patriots, Onwenu’s versatility shined.
He began his career as a tackle before transferring to guard. Despite his injuries this season, he returned to tackle in his fourth season with the team and became a crucial player in the offense.
Onwenu said it was a “mutual desire” between him and the patriots at the end of december. “it’s where i built myself, becoming the person i am.” “they took the opportunity on me, drafting me in the sixth round,” he said.
I also like to challenge doubters, not necessarily prove them wrong, but i also like to prove myself right. I always like to put my best foot forward and just say that i’m here and that i’m here. “there haven’t been any contracts or messages sent,” he said. “but my agents have been telling me, ‘yeah, it’s been open talks,'” Onwenu said, “and despite what happens with bill Belichick,” he wants to stay at gillette stadium.
So make a deal with the top lineman and keep him in new england. it’s that simple.
