Patriots cut Edelman(Update- EDELMAN RETIRES)

[Le Numéro Douze]

Pretty ****ty way to let a franchise great go.

Business is business, I guess.

 

[Lansdowne]

Sad to see it end not on his terms but that tends to be the case for most players. I’m glad he’ll retire a Patriot at least. What a legend.

 

[Mack Herron]

Great story

Thank you Julian. I hope he retires rather than trying to make a go of it. He has nothing to prove and I really don't want to see him play as a shell of his former self.

I don't say this as an attack against you, but only because I'm genuinely curious: How were they supposed to do it? If they don't think he can play healthy this year, or it's true he's planning to retire, what is the acceptable way to move on from him?

Man I will miss him so much. Absolute warrior. I feel as sentimental towards him as any player I’ve watched. There was nothing like watching his intensity in a big game.

Damn. I get it, but still sucks. Probably my favorite Patriot after Tom. Got 2 Edelman #11 shirts. Amazing story, amazing player. Some of those trophies wouldn’t be there without him. If it is retirement, I hope he’s able to get right and live a good life.

He caught them when it mattered the most...

Not going to argue about his service to the pats. One of my favourites.

Sad day......

Great story

Wes Welker though.

Glad to see this..now he can retire and still collect his hard earned money. He has been retired in my mind for two years.

Cutting him may allow him to keep any unamortized part of his bonus. He might have had to pay that back if he retired.

If he is planning to retire, let him announce it first or have a joint press conference.

If he is planning to play again, maybe let him post his goodbyes first.

Something like that.

yup.........dude has zero left to prove

Wes Welker though.

Had too much binch in him in critical situations.

Cutting him may allow him to keep any unamortized part of his bonus. He might have had to pay that back if he retired.

I had the same thought lol

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Wes Welker though.

Regular season isn't where Jules was great. Good, yes. Great in January/February. A beast, in fact...

really? this is what you're going to whine about?

N'Keal one spot closer to making the roster...

One of the most underrated WRs ever. His playoff numbers from 2013-2019 extrapolated to a full season are 125 receptions & 1,562 yards. His catches against the Seahawks, Falcons, Chiefs & Rams are some of the most clutch in the history of the game.

Gronk & Edelman playing together only lost one playoff game & it was by 2 points against the Broncos. The clutch gene by the QB-WR-TE won't be replicated.
