The Wilson, JAG, whatever vet QB dream is out. Why? Philosophy is to use cap $ on multiple players and a cheap rookie QB contract that enables this approach.
Big risk if can't trade up or they do trade up and land a stiff.
I don't think that BB or TB wanted to prove anything. Both have always wanted to win. BB thought that TB would stay, was wrong and they both ended up being in the situation they're in.I think Bill wants to prove that if you give him enough talent at other positions he can win with an average quarterback. I'm not faulting him. It's like Brady wanting to prove he could win with multiple teams like Manning did and win without Bill.
My hope is if, and only if, they're certain Lance, Fields or Wilson is a can't miss and they fall a little they go get them at 10 or 11 before the 49ers grab the last of the big 4 at twelfth. I think Bill intends to roll with Cam. Maybe he brings in a Mariotta or Dalton on a similar deal to Cam's where the winner of the starting job can grab the incentives. I tend to doubt it though because if whoever wins isn't lighting it up he knows the media will bombard him much worse than with Stidham last year.
I can see that also. Wait til draft day, see how things shake out.Agree.
I think plan A is a top rookie QB.
Plan B is Jimmy.
Idk who put this narrative out other than Bruce Arians but I seriously don't think that BB did not want Brady's input. It might've been that Brady maybe was offering too much input maybe in other areas of the team and not staying in his lane but I doubt it was some complete shutout of himFrom what I have seen/read Russell Wilson's main difference with Pete Carroll is that the Seahawks don't wan't his input into how to run the offense. That was also one of Brady's main differences with BB. If BB didn't want Brady's input, I really don't think he is going wan't to get pointers from Wilson about what they should do.
Nope. Wilson really isn’t in the market, and Caserio would get run out of town in five seconds if he dealt Watson to NE.I thought about this after the Henry signing and now they are talking about this on 98.5. Now that the Pats have restocked the cupboards and added four receiving weapons for a QB, do the Pats get really aggressive and package 3 first rounders and some other good picks in hopes to trade for Watson or Wilson? It will take a lot of draft capital especially since they don't have a top 5 or top 10 pick this year like some of the other teams trying to get one of those guys.
It is probably a pipe dream that anyone trades for Watson or Wilson, but now the Pats are really just a franchise QB away from being a Super Bowl contender for the next two to three years at least. Do they mortgage the future to get that QB? The Pats would have to give up a lot to get one of them for sure.
Idk know the particulars either about Brady, obviously. But it doesn't seem like what Wilson wants would fit in Foxborough.Idk who put this narrative out other than Bruce Arians but I seriously don't think that BB did not want Brady's input.

Kraft too. Hes 79.
I don't see Jerry getting one anytime soon.Can you imagine 79 year old Kraft crying to 78 year old Jerry Jones that he wants another ring and hasn't won one since 2018!!!!

That's my thinking as well, makes sense especially if one slides.Patriots are operating in Free agency as if they are about to have a QB on a rookie contract for 4 years. See Kansas City and Seattle in their superbowl years.....
it almost seems like they are addressing all these items in Free agency because they expect that they are going to use significant draft capital to trade up.
I still think Jimmy Garoppolo is an option as well. But the patriots aren't going to plan for him to be available this year because San Fran really has no incentive to release him this year yet. his dead cap hit is even less next offseason. So, if they really wanted to go into the season with Jimmy G and Trubisky and see who works out they could as well and Jimmy G will be out there next year.
