Way late to this party and trying to wrap my head around it. It was a fun mental exercise to think about AB on the Pats with all the bells and whistles, but it was fun because I KNEW it wasn't going to happen.
The money wasn't there, the risks were too great, we had a good if unspectacular group of WR's already. There were several other teams that made more sense. AND then.....he's here.
That's a lot to take in and I'm not going to go through the 20 odd pages that have already been written, so pardon if my 5 questions have already been asked/or discussed.
1. How do you fit a $15MM (9 guaranteed) contract in a $6MM cap space? In on of the last 2 pages no less a personage than Miguel was wondering the same thing. Has there been any news on this.
2. Who goes. I imagine that who is ever on the roster will stay on the roster until after the game but who will face the axe. Gunner probably. I don't think it will be Dorsett because they'd have to pay him his full salary if he plays.
3. How long will it take him to get integrated into the offense and at what position?
4. How will this button down locker room respond to such a mega personality.
5. What will Bill's first words to the media be?....and when?
In the end, this happened too fast. I'm completely not sure exactly how I feel. In some respects we all must feel like KC fans when they found out Hill was coming back, only not quite as slimy. Brown might be bat sh!t crazy, but he isn't a wife beater and child abuser.
I think I'm just going to put this to one side and address it again come Monday. But then SOME clarity will occur....I hope.
