No Edelman Tonight, Season Likely Over

[Ian]

Per Rapoport:



Have to wonder about his future as well. Definitely not the way we all hoped it would play out

 

[FortressX]

If the Pats do want him next year he will be rested and ready.

 

[PP2]

He's finished as a Patriot.

His dead cap hit is a lot more team-friendly in 2021 than this year.

 

[203Pat]

I hoped we hadn't seen the last of him as a Patriot but I am really thinking we have.

 

[crawhammer]

He's cooked. His last hooray was Super Bowl 53. He's just not reliable anymore... too many drops, including a very costly one in the Wild Card game against Tennessee. He's taken enough punishment by now too and you would think he may consider retirement. He probably could land in Tampa Bay if Brady wants him for one last season. Imagine Brady, Gronk and Edelman returning to Gillette next season as Buccaneers. That would be fun.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Damn. Brady ends his career in ne with a pick 6 and Edelman probably ends his on the shelf. At least we have those 6 rings to lessen the blow

 

[resdubwhite]

I want him back. we've a **** ton of cap space next year. lets see what hes got

He got away with a push off on that one and it made me wicked happy.

Before the season I wasn't confident that he'd be back at all. I'm less confident now.

Thanks for the memories Jules.

 

[TheRainMaker]

It's time to move on from him.

 

[crawhammer]

Comparing Edelman to Jerry Rice, in any context, is insanity.

If Edelman's career is in fact over, he's definitely not getting into the HOF... the real HOF... not the fake one that will include Matthew Slater one day.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Tampa will have almost all the NE offense next year with Brady, Gronk, Edelman, white and Andrews

Heck, throw in Thuney as well.

 

[Patjew]

Call it a day, Jules. You've done us proud.

 

[oldrover]

Call it a day, Jules. You've done us proud.

Amen, brother.

"To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."

I am very grateful for the time of JE.

 

[Jim Beankie]

He's one of my favorites, but I think he jumped the shark when he was arrested after jumping over a Mercedes hood in Beverly Hills last offseason.

 

[stcjones]

One of the greatest Patriots in history of the team, one of the toughest and “clutch-est” WR in the history of football!!!’ He should definitely be HOF!!!!! With that having been said , I think his time here is over

 

[archstanton543]

The seaon was over whether he played or not. One (injured) guy was not going to be the difference in this rout.

No it isn't. His post-season stats rival Rice's. In that context it's absolutely appropriate to mention them in the same sentence.

 

[Keyser Söze]

Hell of a Pats career but it’s over.
