Trade him, see the precedent it sets going forward.

If he sits out opening night, he'll be one step closer to getting traded. Tapping out against the champions on national TV is a terrible look.

They handed out garbage extensions to garbage players

The good news is that the Pats have to option to rid all of those bad contracts in 2027.

When was the last time they drafted, developed and then paid a blue chip player at a high value position.

The better question is when was the last time they had drafted an eventual blue chip player worth paying in the last 10 years? Joe Thuney is the only one who fit that criteria, but BB prematurely paid Shaq Mason for whatever reason. That helps Gonzalez case, but there's still no need to pay right now. I'd have no problem getting it done next off-season assuming he continues to play like he has the last two seasons.

They wouldn't even pay Brady what he was worth.

That's nobody's fault by Brady's. Former Packers executive Andrew Brandt has stated Brady didn't have an understanding of how the cap actually worked and that he was just doing Bob Kraft a favor - not the team.

So terrible that another team
Will gladly give up two first round picks and make him the highest paid corner in football without all the bs terms Kraft is going with.

Not worried about it until it happens.
