I believe if Brady will take a 1 year 20m dollar deal to come back for one last go at it, you've got to sign him. Then provide him real weapons for success. This year was a setup for failure. This OL has looked its worse in years. The wide receiver corps was piss poor outside of lone Julian Edelman who got doubled the majority of all the games. We had no Tight End. Michel came off a regression year. And who was our fullback?
I say resign Brady 1 year 20m. Sign Derrick Henry, he's Corey Dillon 2.0, get some serious offensive tools for Brady: a talented OL, a real TE, a competent WR to take pressure off Edelman. And you will see a rejuvenation of this Patriots team. We have been just so spoiled for so long, BB thought he could duct tape together an offensive solution with table scraps, but it just wouldn't do this time around.
The Patriots can make a serious title run if they give Brady a year with the proper tools and talent around him. The other route is to give up next year, go into full rebuild mode, and let the Chargers get a big piece, Brady, to round out a talented overall team.
Me I'd rather go for one more year. The defense can continue to be good without that many additional pieces. It is the offense that needs the 'total makeover'. And Brady is still capable of driving a Formula 1 car, the problem is that BB saddled him with a Chevy Nova to race against true race cars.
Despite having the fewest weapons I've seen him have in years, Brady still amassed 4,057 yards passing 24 TDs and only 8 INTs. Let's give Brady a real shot next year! One more go! Bring on Brady's true Revenge Tour in 2020!
While I would love Derek Henry he’s looking at a $15m+ per year deal. Where we getting that much cap space with others to sign? He’ll likely redo with the Titans or get tagged.
