Patriots guard Joe Thuney says he’s happy to back in New England this season, but that’s the extent of his commitment as of now.
The Patriots placed the franchise tag on Thuney this offseason, which allowed the team to keep — or trade — him at a rate based on the top-five NFL contracts for his position. When the organization announced it had designated Thuney as a franchise player, the statement said the tag would allow for “more time to try to reach the goal of a long-term agreement.”
So, what does Thuney think?
“There’s a whole business aspect to it,” he said Wednesday.
