It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think as Pats fans we're used to one or two fairly big surprises, but this offseason has been completely unpredictable. And there are still two weeks left to go! Does any other historical offseason even come close in terms of general craziness?
2 weeks!!!! season starts in 3 days
Isn't it awesome! Damn this is fun
It is totally awesome trying to keep up as the Pats add to and subtract from the roster. We should end up with something special.Isn't it awesome! Damn this is fun
In terms of this being a "crazy" season, I'd like to learn more about what exactly was the relationship between Belichick and Pioli.
My immediate understanding is that the duties of general manager were split between those two althought BB did always have the final say.
I wonder if, in light of what has happened the past few weeks, Pioli had acted as a brake to some of BB's roster manipulation, in terms of not cutting mistakes loose so soon, or giving more time to acquired players that hadn't blossomed or were taking more time than usual?
Scott Pioli leaves to become general manager of Chiefs.
Josh McDaniels leaves to become head coach of Broncos.
Rodney Harrison retires, joins NBC Sports.
Mike Cassel + Mike Vrabel traded for 2009 second round draft pick.
