Yet another Brady argument thread

You made up that guarantees were the reason. You’ve repeated it 100 times.

You said both offers were 2 years. Getting extended after 1 year doesn’t mean it was a 3 year contract, you said he left because he didn’t want to have to wait to get extended.

Neither of us have any idea what offers were made, that’s kind of the point.

Nothing shows Brady cared about the guarantee other than your blathering
As I’ve said if it was about the guarantee he would have said that when Kraft asked.
Why do you keep implying that he never told the patriots what he wanted? Kind of a massive jump to conclusions?
 
“Basically your plan takes away Thuney from the 2020 team then add him back in 2021 while many other players are leaving.”

How was I supposed to interpret this?
Well I would think only an idiot would take it as literally bringing back thuney who wold have signed a free agent contract. Especially in the context where your plan would have left them with about the total cap space of thuneys tag.
 
WRONG.
50 million is the cap space in 2020 and 2021 Brady would have taken up thereby reducing the cap space the team had to rebuild.
Actually it’s correct, $50 mil gtd over 2 years would likely mean 25 in cap space for both years, yet when you extended him in 21, his cap hit in 2021 goes to 10 mil. Overall, their money spent would have been virtually no different if you replaced those two with Brady
How much of that do you think agholor and smith took up?
I know how much they took up compared to Brady. Go fetch me the data
 
Why do you keep implying that he never told the patriots what he wanted? Kind of a massive jump to conclusions?
When did I say that?
But I’d say after colliding with the dolphins he was gone and anything he said to the patriots wasn’t serious.
When you conspire with a division rival you’ve decided you are gone.

You can just say you purposely twisted my argument
 
When did I say that?
When you said he didn’t tell Kraft he wanted guaranteed years?

Good effort from the patriots for 3 years, really bravo

It has nothing to do with guarantees, the discussion was about using the Brady money on other players. It’s about the cap.

Oh I know the answer because I already posted it.
Do you? I think you don’t because you just were wrong about it a few minutes ago.

He didn’t. Kraft asked what can we do to get you to stay and Brady said nothing.

Wait you agree with him conspiring with Miami?? Seriously?

right; the guarantees have nothing to do without the cap number, totally right. Brady’s money =50$ mil over two years. Jonnu and ahgolor=46$ over their deals.

Do you? I think you don’t because you just were wrong about it a few minutes ago.
Smith and Agholor combined for over 12 mil in cap dollars in 2021. Brady was just over 10
 
He didn’t. Kraft asked what can we do to get you to stay and Brady said nothing.
You are eliminating all conversations had previously and acting as if those were the only words ever spoken to each other
Wait you agree with him conspiring with Miami?? Seriously?
Players are tampered with, the dolphins were punished for it. I never doubted that happened. I simply start the story from start to finish

I didn’t eliminate anything. I said IF (which it wasn’t) that was the reason and he wanted to stay that was his opportunity to say so. He didn’t

Brady conspired with the dolphins, while under contract and while he was negotiating a new contract with the patriots.

Minus the 3 years of pleading for a multi year commitment

Damn, how did he play for the dolphins?

Brady’s cap number in NE would not have been 10 mill.
Because they had zero cap room in 2020 they would have had to structure the 2 year deal with a low first year number and a high second year number.
Probably along the lines of 13 and 37, a large chunk of which would have been bonus amort that couldn’t be pushed to the future.

So when the patriots had 60 mill in cap room in 2021 it would really have been 23 and after rookies, in season, etc they would have had about 10 to use on free agents.

That means in addition to not signing the 12 mill for those 2 they would have had to pass up 37 of the other 48 mill in cap hits they signed.
 
Minus the 3 years of pleading for a multi year commitment

Damn, how did he play for the dolphins?
He signed a multi year extension in 2016, as he did every 3 years. Facts screw you again

Very likely his conspiring with the dolphins poisoned the water and created the situation that led to him leaving. I wonder if the team knew and if that impacted contract talks?

All 100% a guess

You don’t sign players for cap dollars; you sign them for real dollars. You just said they could structure the dollars any way they wanted with Brady, they did the same for smith and Agholor.

Ok so we have concluded you don’t understand the cap. That explains a lot.

Lmao

I wonder if the team offering him incentivized deals the year after he won the MVP impacted contract talks?
 
Ok so we have concluded you don’t understand the cap. That explains a lot.
We have concluded you make up every scenario you want. You thinking they couldn’t afford 25 mil in 2020 is made up. Along with all of your other projections
