Thomas is still available. I think he would be a solid pickup as well. He will be 31 this December compared to Bradshaw at 29 next week. Both are identical players imo.Pierre Thomas is still out there correct? Good production. Good coaching. SB experience. Worth looking into?
I don't buy it. Amendola's contract restructure saved them $2.5m this year but his hits go UP slightly the next two years... Why shove all the savings into this year if they weren't looking to spend it?

yes .. i know. twas a dash of sarcasm. my bad.
Yeah I know, I'm just saying, it seemed like a concerted effort to create the most free money RIGHT NOW so they could sign guys. I could of course be wrong.1) It doesn't matter what year y0u save it since it rolls forward.
2) Solder is on a 5th year option and Jones/HT are due next year. Lots of money is needed for all of them and there is little reason to wait.
3) You save money with Amendola this year because there is no guarantee he'll even be here next year.
Bush has more talent but maybe Thomas is a contingency if White is an empty uniform.Thomas is still available. I think he would be a solid pickup as well. He will be 31 this December compared to Bradshaw at 29 next week. Both are identical players imo.

Hands down i'd rather have Bush over all of them. But all three are promising prospects.Bush has more talent but maybe Thomas is a contingency if White is an empty uniform.
Count former Vikings coach Les Steckel among the many people who saw something special in Belichick years ago.
“I coached one year at the Naval Academy with Steve Belichick, Bill’s dad,” Steckel recalled Sunday. “Bill was a quality-control guy within the Baltimore Colts and later the Washington Redskins, and he would come over and walk in every time with a piece of chalk and go over to the blackboard — and yes, there were blackboards in 1977 — and he’d say, ‘Coach Steckel, let’s go over here and X and O it, let’s have at it.’
“I could tell right then he had no interest in playing politics to be a football coach. He wanted to be an X and O ‘strat-atician,’ and that was my concept as well. We really hit it off. When Bud [Grant] asked me to be the head coach when he stepped down that year [1984], I thought of Bill. I knew he was bright and I knew one thing for sure, he was going to be a great football coach. It just didn’t work out, but I knew he had a future.”
He nearly had Belichick hired as an assistant coach in 1984, with Belichick interviewing for defensive coordinator, but he ended up staying with the New York Giants and was named their coordinator in ’85 before getting his first head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns in 1991.
Steckel said that one of the great things for the NFL was that Belichick, who was fired from Cleveland in 1995, got his second chance to be a head coach in New England in 2000.

Keenan Lewis being shopped by New Orleans.
Would solve one half of the CB problem...
That would be really disappointing. Especially since Kraft explicitly said that he really wants to see the team in Super Bowl 50 because of how significant the event is in NFL history.
