NFL News OT: Dolphins Owner Steven Ross Suspended, Picks Forfeited, For Tampering With Brady, Payton

[jlu52]

Did Belichick engage in ongoing conversations with the Pats over the course of multiple months, all the while still coaching the Jets through an entire season?

If Leon Hess hadn't passed away, Belichick would have honored his obligation to him. Under no circumstances, right or wrong, would Bill have ever worked for Woodhead Johnson. Parcells was trying to pull another of his fast ones, and Bill said, "not this time"

Facts are facts. Accept them or don’t.

Provide anything of relevance to back up your claim...Or dont and get laughed at

They didn’t spend 160 million in cap space. They spend 60 something. 50 of that was the 25 mill they didn’t pay Brady in 2020 and 2021.

Lol, you answered your own question. They didn't need to spend 50 in the 1st 2 years, just like they didn't spend the 160 in 2021. It's called cap manipulation. Unless you believe Licht is better at it than Bill.

I've seen more posts from the Timmyites on the main board in the past few days than all of last year...you would think that they'd be interested in Patriots training camp (and post in the TC threads) like the rest of us but with Timmy no longer here they don't care about the team.

You know, he just might have and it simply never came out. That's not criticism of either the Patriots or Belichick, it is a simple reality of the National Football League.

Yea they would. They wouldn’t push money to retirement years when they are rebuilding.

 

[Ring 6]

Hes not retired.

You knew that in 2019?

 

[Froob]

Man imagine if Tom really went to Miami. We'd have to root against him.

Brady took under market deals for selfish reasons, namely, so that BIll can go out and put pieces around him to help him win titles. Brady is nothing but a ring chaser (all the FAs he's bringing to Tampa is more proof of this). There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but to say that Brady was this generous and altruistic guy is nonsense. No one in the real world would take an 80% pay reduction, but Brady clearly benefited from the lower contract.

So Brady is a ring chaser & Bill just wants to help him win titles? You need to work on your trolling dude, it's pathetic.

What are you talking about? How often has he said he wants to play til 45? Again, you are absolutely eliminating the fact that he wanted new deals after 2017/18. You skip that part of history.

I don't think tampering and tanking is that big of a deal tbh. If it was, I'd see washed up mediocre QBs crying on ESPN about it

 

[Triumph]

Are we going to now care about Tampering of all things? Dont forget

When the Jets tamper with Pats players this place becomes livid wanting draft picks.

When Brady tampers with the Dolphins, oh well it happens. Its our Tommy.

You have the most posts on Brady topics than anybody so I'm not sure you're the one to talk

LOLOL!!! Child, you post about Brady more on this forum than anyone.

You would think you would be interested in Patriots training camp.

I am not naive enough to pretend that doesnt happen constantly

Is this supposed to be some sort of criticism? Don't we want players who chase rings and not dollars??

 

[Triumph]

Yet he didnt sign with the team that was talking to him

First off, Tampa had a far more attractive WR group.

Granted, Doofus Gronk would have been a Dolphin, but Miami wasnt as good as Tampa.

In training camps?

With your starting QB.

I actually post in the TC threads...unlike most of you.

See above.

No, but that's what he does - chases rings. He benefitted enormously from being paid less than market over the past 20 years. and he's the one who signed the contracts.

With anybody at any time
