Look at the total average and the guarantees. We all know teams can lower the cap hit in any given year. I'm talking about the average. That's the number to look at.
And Algholor got a 2 year, which is different than a $37m guarantee plus $72m for 4 yrs.
I don't know how many times I have to say this: Aj Brown said that in college. This was back when Brady was still a member of the Patriots. Sitting next to him was his best friend Jalen Hurts. Hurts wasn't even in the league yet. This is a preposterous argument. He wasn't leaving Tenn. to go play with Mac Jones in an anemic offense. He was going to play for his best friend.
Cooper was discussed here, he's on his 7th team. He's good. But a journeyman. How is he on his 7th team?
In the past Belichick has expended resources in trades for WRs. And I'm not referring to Randy Moss. A second for Welker, a 1st for Brandin Cooks, 2nd for Sanu. I don't think they are worried about the cost of top WRs and if they can get them, they try to do it.
Not sure I said anything about the cap or about being handcuffed. I didn't say any of that. I believe the opposite. I think they have money. If Aj Brown wanted to play with Mac, then great! Pay him. But he doesn't
Again, AJ Brown grew up a Patriots fan. He may have loved Brady, but he also loved the Patriots. Most Pats fans remained Pats fans even after Brady left. You are just making up that he was a Brady fan and not a Patriots fan. The guy was drafted in 2019. Do you really think he thought he was going to play his entire career with a 40 something Brady if the Pats drafted him?
You are the one making the preposterous argument because Brown probably would have gone to whatever team paid him the most whether it was the Eagles with Hurts or his favorite team in Brady. Playing with Hurts was a bonus for him and probably not a requirement.
Where do you get that Cooper is on his seventh team? He is on his third team. You know what? Randy Moss broke the TD record on his third team. And Cooper had had five 1,000 yard seasons. He had an 1,100 yard, 9 TD season last year and on track for a north of 1,200 yards this season. Some journeyman.
Algohor is the journeyman you are looking for and he was paid like a good starter at the time of his contract with the Patriots.
Welker was acquired way back in 2007. Belichick also let Welker walk rather than pay him the $6 million a year he got with the Broncos even though Welker was coming off a 1,354 yard, 6 TD season.
And he let Edelman walk rather than giving him big money and was just lucky Edelman decided to come back rather than take an offer from the Eagles.
Cooks was traded away after one year rather than pay him a competitive salary. Sanu was a desperation move for a washed up player because the Pats had no WRs in 2019.
