But the point is that Schefter kept insisting he wouldn’t be traded. Only afterwards did he say, “oh, I didn’t mean during the season, I just meant the offseason.”Bill didn’t trade him until his hand was absolutely forced when Brady had an MVP season, he couldn’t work a contract that kept both, and if he didn’t get a deal done, Jimmy was walking for nothing. He literally waited until he had no other options on that one.
I’m not trying to shoot the messenger (Schefter). Just saying these media guys get played sometimes for leverage.
