Before the salary cap and free agency players were basically indentured servants with no way out of a bad situation. Teams great at players acquisition and drafting could hold onto players their entire career. And yeah you’re correct, under these conditions BB would be terrible. His QB would...

If anyone knew what a dollar in 2020 equaling a dollar in 2020 meant besides yourself we could have a conversation about it... in the meantime the rest of us are thoroughly confused. Never post at happy hour is what I take from this....

If you could go point by point you would. I’m dishonest in my argument but you can’t say where or how. I hated the Duke Dawson and Dominque Easley picks, panned BB for trading back instead of drafting Foster Moreau in 2019, said not trading Malcolm Butler the preseason of 2017 for a 2nd was a...

Thuney was franchise tagged, he costs the Patriots zero dollars in 2021... his signing is irrelevant considering they needed a starting guard in 2020 and they hoped to keep him. DMC is an important player on the defense and one they wanted to retain going forward to QB the defense. Brady cost 50...

The first sentence is kind of a meandering mess, don't really understand what you're trying to say there. There's no team in the NFL that doesn't buy free agents, from 2014 on the Pats traded out, traded picks for players and went after vets vs rookies, they were trying to "win now" and vet...

Suggesting the cap doesn’t exist exhibits an extraordinary level of ignorance about how the league works. 25% of the Pat’s cap in 2020 was dedicated to one player (Gilmore) and 70+ players dead cap. The Pats won three rings in a five year span, the last team to do that was the Pats back in the...

Besides QB... Penei Sewell, Micah Parsons, Kwity Paye, Christian Barmore, Patrick Surtain, Jaycee Horn... there are quite a few all world talents at the top of the first round. Throughout Patriot history they have won with 7th round picks (Edelman, David Givens), 8th round (doesn't even exist...

Gronk retired because he suffered a hematoma in his thigh, or don't you remember him crying about it during his CBD tour. When he decided to come back the Pats were up to their ears in cap debt from pushing to win 3 rings and playing in 4 Super Bowls in five years. Both Tom and Gronk have 3...

Giving Cam another shrimp target to throw to would be as useful as a knuckle in my johnson. Either take a QB in the first or take the BPA and grab a QB in the second. We have two OT's and two starting CB's who likely will be gone next year. WR is way down on the list of needs and when has a WR...

Gronk was negotiating his contract through the media. He showed up at some motocross event at Gillette and made stupid comments so Bill threatened to ship him to Detroit. Rosenhaus told Gronk to get his butt in BB's office and work out a deal, the Patriots retained Gronk at the price they...

Cap debt, it wasn't needless... math doesn't lie.

Jimmy G was in the final year of his rookie deal, he had all the leverage. He didn't want to sign an extension to be a backup. BB had to trade him or risk losing him for nothing. Kraft forcing his hand is soap opera nonsense cooked up by local media hacks creating clickbait.

Wicker-sham is a Bronco's fan who hates the Patriots and was blackballed from Gillette... but he has inside sources. Sounds legit... About as legit as ESPN's journalistic standards when they vet his tripe. How many deflated balls were there again?

Trade Brady? Never happened...

Could be...

They have more holes than people let on, they also only incur a 2 million dollar dead cap hit if they let him go. They probably won't but 25 million is a lot of money and there are a lot of value vet free agents out there.

Assuming there's a run on QB's before they pick, I'd be looking at the BPA at 15. Sewell at OT, Parsons at LB, Barmore at DT, Paye at DE or Horn at CB... there's also the possibility one of Fields, Lance or Jones drops at which point they'll have a decision to make. If they don't get a QB in...

They want out from under that contract.

If three phases and postseason was worth a damn to voters, Jules would be a HOF player without question. 11 seasons with 9869 all purpose yards (165th) 620 catches (75th) for 6,822 yards (156th) and 36 touchdowns, 58 rushing attempts for 413 yards, 177 punt returns (63rd) for 1,986 yards (39th)...

When they realize the market just isn't there for Jimmy, they'll move off their first round asking price or cut him outright. Also the draft is in a couple weeks, hold your water.
