PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp Day 4

[Ring 6]

The Patriots would be betting underdogs in every game this season without Maye bar the Jets/Dolphins at home when they might be a tiny fav against this schedule.

If by being able to beat the Jets in a 17-16 rockfight without Maye then you might be right but the Pats are back to being down there with the worst teams in the league if Maye goes down, if you plugged Maye into the Jets they're an instant playoff contender we act like there's some huge chasm between the good and the bad but 80% of it is just the quarterback the whole teams confidence and the culture implodes when you get bad QB play.

Pretty much every team would be underdogs in every game without their starting Qb

They were never going to trade him. We use 3 WRs in our base offense and he is one of the 3 best.

I don't dispute that he is one of the three best, but I think before camp the team felt they were set at WR without him..

I don’t think he is trying to „ underhand“ anyone…..

he just has like this inferiority complex to his own organization & wants the CUSTOMER to see himself as RELEVANT to the process; when he really isn’t. He says yes at the end of the day, but if you think the contract details, affordability analysis and deal isn’t from Wolf-Vrabes (and RK just the bag man)…..you are crazy.

RFK threw Gonzo under the bus with the comment about how big a contract they offered. Now Gonzo can be perceived as unreasonable by the public. Its a nasty tactic.

Gonzo, and his agent, also have to show some understanding as well.
they have no leverage.
Gonzo is on a 2/$23m deal with his option year exercised.
Gonzo would be foolish to risk $75m+ fighting over another $5m
sure, Gonzo can sit out, but them he gets zero
