a.) Brady was never UNDERPAID.....we just paid him differently via lump sums of cash up front.
b.) Yes, BB probably should have extended Brady back in 2017....it is what it is.
c.) I am pro-Patriots and pro-Brady, but this year...I am moving on from Brady...he won his 7th to put him ahead of the Steelers...which warms my heart, but I don't want him to win when the Bucs come to Gillette....and I want to win Superbowl LVI damn it!
d.) We need to take a linebacker in the draft. I don't think Hightower and KVN are going to be Patriots in 2022.
e.) We need CB depth too...not sure Gilmore and Jackson are going to be Patriots in 2022...or even 2021. Although, I hope so for 2021.
f.) We also need an OT in the draft or an interior OL-man. I don't think Trent Brown is going to be a Patriot in 2022...and will we pick up Wynn's 5th year option? (I think so though, but he's been oft inured...although no fault of his own). If we take an interior OL....then maybe slide Onwenu outside....or replace Mason if his play continues to decline.
g.) I am warming up to Mills/Monds/Trask/Newman now.....I am not even sure Lance/Fields/Jones is worth trading up to #4 or #5 for....which is what it will take unless one of them slides.
h.) And like
@Elijah said....we have enough WR's right now. What we need is an elite #1 who can out play Edelman and lead this group....if not, I am also onto the draft for another WR. I liked Byrd, but he doesn't bring anything that we already don't have in the WR room...and would be cut in camp ...ASSUMING everyone is healthy of course....I think Byrd would find better opportunities elsewhere.
