It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I don’t think either one of them are going to publicly say anything negative about BB. Brady certainly won’t, and he definitely had his chance on Stern. But there’s an awful lot of smoke around them just simply tiring of Bill for there to not be some flames. Gronk says he doesn’t want to play with a QB other than Brady. He retires in 2019 when Brady is still playing for Bill in part because his body has broken down. He comes out of retirement within weeks after Brady leaves and requests a trade to Tampa Bay. This reeks of Bill at least being part of the reason neither are playing here any longer. How much of a reason is certainly up for debate. But that can’t be merely coincidence.
What you were quoting is literally what I said. As long as the player can pass a physical (i.e. is not injured) the option can be rescinded at any point before the new league year starts.
See Dolphins and Ja'Wuan James in 2018:
Dolphins begin 2018 off-season; rescind James’ 5th year option
In other words there is not much harm in exercising the 5th year option as long as the player doesn't suffer any significant injury.

Pats had no choice but to trade him. I don't see how gronk "did them a solid." he wasn't going to play for the patriots. so its either he unretires and screws our cap even more or gets traded to his preferred destination.
Gronk didn’t have a say?According to a report on 98.5, the decision to bring Gronk to TB was all Brady's decision. Don't shoot the messenger. I just heard it.

Interesting stat comparison to think about when evaluating the potential impact of Brady upon the Bucs offense:
In 2019, Winston threw ints in 12 of 16 games, with 9 games featuring multiple pick performances.
In 2019, Brady threw ints in 8 of 16 games, with 0 games featuring multiple pick performances.
No he did notGronk didn’t have a say?
Let's be clear, Bellichek traded Ty law to the chiefs when Peyton Manning was a threat, the year he did that, I followed Ty law in Kansas and the day Manning played the chiefs, The law owned Manning, all day he shut down his side of the field. Proving he was the best corner to play. Bellichek lost that year and Laws replacement was terrible. The fact is, HAD Ty Law stayed, we would have had another Super Bowl victory. What we may be seeing now is Bellicheks ego, never forget how he could not make the Browns good. This is about him proving he is the Best Coach ever to be in the NFL. If he is lucky he will not face Gronk and Brady next season. Because revenge is a dish best served cold, fact is Bellichek has made atrocious trades, like Flowers. Brown just to name a few. He been lucky more than he has been good or right. This year will be the litmus test for his career as a coach. NFL means Not For Long, heard that from a famous Atlanta Hawks coach. Has Bills' time come to an end? This season it is all on the line.

I doubt Tampa will trade Howard but you never know.

Don't forget Jimmy lost in the Super Bowl with an ill advised last ditch pass, He lost his coolIt’s clear that BB was prepared to move forward without Gronk when he negotiated a trade with the Lions a few years back, and I’ve always had the sense that he wanted to move on from Brady and keep Jimmy G. BB has always been one to try and stay ahead of the curve, and I believe he had a plan in place to do just that, but it didn’t come to fruition as he had planned for some reason that we don’t know. Did Kraft step in? We won’t know until that information surfaces at some later date.
Brady and Gronk did amazing, unprecedented things here, and the relationship has run its course, so it’s time for all parties to regroup and move forward.

You forgot to take your brain pills ?
You are an idiot
This is revisionist babble.
If you would be so kind as to enlighten us, please explain to us the atrocious Flowers trade.
