His next three years become fully guaranteed if he finishes the season the roster. He will be only traded at that point if they are going to get rid of him even if they got a conditional 7th rounder for him.
Guaranteed salaries don't hurt tradability because they're low.
Anyone have the Mortensen article? This is the only quote in that entire article. “uncomfortable”. He could have had a bad burrito and that reporter could have speculated on the rest. Sheesh.
"Several players, coaches and former players have rendered an unsettling picture that all does not look well with Tom Brady and the Patriots and there's a reason for it," Mortensen said during Sunday NFL Countdown. "Even though Bill Belichick chuckled when asked Monday night about Brady's status, others close to the team now believe that when the Patriots used that second-round pick (in 2014) on Jimmy Garropolo that they were, in fact, choosing Brady's successor, perhaps sooner than later.
"Sources say Brady is uncomfortable with the personnel and coaching changes, the consequences have led to tensions between Brady and the coaching staff, with Brady's input into gameplans, personnel packages, formations, pre-snap adjustments being significantly diminished.
"Has the staff lost faith in Brady? Or is it simply the residue of shaky personnel decisions, including the undeniable fact that since 2002, the Patriots have used 11 draft picks on wide receivers and only two -- Deion Branch and Julian Edelman -- have made any impact."
Gotcha. That's a non issue, though, he'd have trade value. Check Miguel's tweets, a trade after 6/1/15 while giving us hefty dead money saves cap money in 2015 & 2016.@Rob0729 isn't arguing that he'll never be traded, merely that he'll never be cut. [The Pats are still on the hook for the $24M in guarantees if they cut him, but not if they trade him.]
All this media talk is getting me fired up and filled with anger. I hope Brady, the team, and Belichick is watching this **** and get fired up as well.
I predicted the Bengals win 34-10 in the predict thread but now I'm going to change it to the Pats win. All this media hate has fired up my Patriot spirit. Brady and this team needs to make a statement with this game. Let's lay the smackdown.
You guys need to abbreviate these abbreviation lol (no offense just bustin your balls).FYPFY.
