Curran: "In my estimation... [Gonzo would like to] be treated as if he's at the table in 2027." [previous title: "say goodbye to gonzo"]

Again I don't remember the NFL having so many Good Young CB's who are basically contemporaries. Sometimes you could just Single these type of Players out like Champ Bailey and Darrelle Revis during their times.

Yeah I can't remember any time that had this many quality young cbs. And I go back to the 60's. It makes sense though with passing being a much bigger part of the game since the mid 2000's than before. Due to all the rules changes and emphasis favoring qbs and wrs. Too many. Team sports are never as good when either the offense or defense is not playing on a level playing field.

Clear or not, he’s better.

As a man to man CB, Gonzo gets the edge. Spoon is a monster at everything else.

The sad thing is the Majority of these good Young CB's are all First Rounders. Wish upon a Star after the First with them.

Did people just say the Grilled Cheese twitter account has been correct about things?

Sure… when you throw crap against the wall it has the possibility of coming true.

Whenever the Patriots have negotiated a huge change the market kind of deal, it has always come down to the last second.

The Krafts are good negotiators, they’ll wear you down like a used car salesman eventually.

Saying it often makes it true.

That is true in some cases. Every day for the last couple of weeks ive read that hes dissatisfied, angry and frustrated with how the negotiations age going. He said he didn't like kraft negotiating in the press but hes doing it himself. He needs a whaambulence. If hes not a diva hes definitely diva material.

Who are the people? Because a lot of people are mocking that Drake Silver guy on his own thread for getting things wrong, and he's even joking about things.

Situations like this one breed nobodies trying to seem like insiders by making predictions and attributing those to “sources”.

My inside sources say a deal with be done by Tuesday. Now the truth is I have no inside sources and I am just guessing with no more information than anyone else on this board but if my guess comes true, I spend the rest of the season telling everyone how connected I am.

I assume there are rules around it. I was asking what they are.
