I don’t see using the draft picks you were allotted as making an effort to improve the team when you had 100 million and didn’t get any better with it.
It's like Zappe...always going to cut him once they drafted 2 at same position.
Subpar drafting for a long stretch, driving away the greatest player to ever play, whiffing on his successor, complete inability to build an offense, a DC moonlighting as an OC...
I'm surprised that it's reported as a surprise.
Convincing Kraft that Brady was done was quite the sales job, but Kraft was stupid to buy in.
I think it was the Patricia/Judge as OC situation that really did him in. I think if not for that, his resume and track record deserved a second shot at getting the QB spot right. He found Brady obviously. Did a good job with Cassell. He was forced to trade Jimmy G but that's a guy he found/developed who was good enough to get a team to a SB (albeit not a great player by any stretch). Heck, he even had a decent record with Newton. Mac Jones wasn't the guy but the way they sabotaged him that that inexplainable coaching duo was the nail in BB's coffin IMO. A guy who did that, you couldn't trust with another young QB.
Just to clarify, it doesn't actually save real money. It's just cap gymnastics. The post 6/1 means that the dead money cap charge for what he's already been paid gets pushed off to next year. That gives them access to the cap space now, if they want/need to use it. Any unused cap gets rolled over anyway so it all nets out on a 2-year basis. There's no difference between eating the dead money charge now or pushing it to next year other than now we get to use the cap space this year if we want.
Bill didn’t want Juju, he wanted to extend Meyers. Jonathan, Wolf and co overruled him according to Callahan.
Bill really didn't have too many bad free agency deals. I remember a stretch with some of those washed up defensive backs like Leigh Bodden, Shawn Springs, and Deltha O'Neal and then that Bengals defensive tackle that never played. Juju though will be hard to top for me though.
Thornton still has world class speed, and a creative OC should be able to get the ball in his hands so he can exploit that. He doesn’t have to be a primary target, he simply needs to be a threat to opposing defenses, and they finally look like they have other WR’s who will get most of the attention from opposing defenses.
Sounds farfetched.
Dont the Pats recoup some of JuJus guaranteed 2024 salary if he signs with another team?
At this point I doubt we'll ever get any confirmation beyond "according to Callahan."
