It will be interesting on how they replace him as I hope they don't roll with Karras. I had a feeling both Thuney and Andrews would walk, but didn't think Bill would be as close as we heard he was in the running to bring back Thuney.

Great player and a great story. Wish him well wherever he goes.

Good player. But, he missed 2019 because of a medical condition. Hard to give a lot of guaranteed money to a player like that. Best wishes wherever he goes. He’s a champ

 

[italian pat patriot]

He was great in Foxboro
Only good luck and good health first of all , David

Good player with Patriots. I don't blame a player like him for going for the best deal he can get within reason since with his medical condition this upcoming deal could be his one big contract. He deserves the opportunity to make the most out of it. He was missed a lot in 2019. But given the Patriots track record in not doing a good job drafting receivers, it made sense to load up more on receivers/tight ends and less on the line where they have done a better job in the draft and with undrafted players.

Gonna miss ya Bear! You will always be a Patriot, a Champion and a Leader. Wish you good fortune and health in the future.

Then he should've been closer...A back-loaded 5/$80M contract was not insurmountable.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

I said we wouldn’t resign either.
Scary being right about that and the tight end double dip.

 

[Ivan]

Hate to see him go, I was hoping they could get a deal done.

Would you rather have thuney or judon?

 

[TheRainMaker]

Would you rather have thuney or judon?

Judon for me. Need balance.

 

[mgteich]

Would you rather have thuney or judon?

This is similar to a 2020 question. Belichick answered by paying Thuney.

 

[captain stone]

Would you rather have thuney or judon?

Thuney.

Now if the question were Would you rather have Judon or Shack Mason...

 

[BTTA]

Is there any actual evidence anywhere that the team and Andrews aren't still talking? All I'm seeing is speculation from media, not even a "source close to the team" quote.

@Ian

It's not often (or at all) that we get a chance to give some grief to @Ian . I say we take full advantage of it while we can.

If a player leaves to check out other teams but comes back with a new contract does that mean his time was over and this is a new beginning?

 

[1960Pats]

Not so fast!!

It reminds me of the picture of Brady on the ground after his futile dive in the SB vs Atlanta.
