Watson won’t be activated - he is now a Free Agent

[Ring 6]

Possibly. I can’t really think of one other guy who has played here recently that was known for that number. Anyone got any ideas?

We’re his initials A Clown?

 

[Ladypatsfan]

Really wish BB did a better job with the offensive personnel during the offseason. Offense was not a priority at all. Nevermind that they are part of the team. O line weak. Wrs mediocre Tightend weak. Offense wasn't built well during the offseason. Now they are trying to piece it together.

 

[Sciz]

Too bad we were so casual on TE Jared Cook when he came here for a visit a guaranteed 600yds a year player. I cannot believe we let him leave without signing him with Gronk's situation unknown at the time.

That contract for a 10 yards per game upgrade on Izzo is an absolute disaster.

 

[jah]

Please enlighten me how his claimed TRT is going to give him suprahuman levels of testosterone from a 125 mg injection of cypionate. I’ve played around with it a little on my own and hit 1000 ng/dL 2 days after injecting 250 mg. Double normal TRT dose, yet high-normal T levels. Nothing suprahuman ...

I don’t care how many abbreviations you throw out there, I’m very intelligent and educated on the subject matter as well. (I could throw out all those same abbreviations with my medical background as well). It doesn’t impress me....

btw never done androgel.... it’s for ****ies afraid of a 23 g needle ... and I’m guessing Dylan Gemelli says hi?

Don't understand a word either of you are saying but this sounds suspiciously like a pissing contest about testosterone supplements.

Seems like the type of argument someone with elevated testosterone would get into.

 

[SBLIII]

whatever significant upgrade at WR/TE is out there for a reasonable and affordable price, we will take it.

Watson wasn't it that's why he got cut.

 

[Ross12]

I wonder if they have a move in mind with the cap savings that I believe this move gives them. They’ve been linked to a few players recently but it’s all seemed to be a lot of speculation to me. Regardless, seeing Watson out there again this year was something I was really looking forward to and it’s sad that it won’t happen. If you need me I’ll be crying into the bosom of our unstoppable defense.

 

[Redman443]

Gronk pls

 

[Hyped]

I agree with the move. At this point, HOW much was Watson going to contribute...or in other words what was his WAR above Izzo/LaCosse? 1 win tops?

I much prefer the 2M in cap space....could be useful at the trading deadline.....we should have about 4M in cap space now...

Absolutely!! Tight ends are garbage. Edelman is the only reliable wr. Gordon can leave at anytime..and our tight ends are the worst in the league...by far. Line is banged up so I'll cut BB some slack.

 

[Gronkowski123]

Gronk save us!!!

What could BB have done?

We had:

1.) A back up OL-man retire.
2.) Our starting center go on I/R for blood clots.
3.) We lost the GREATEST TE TO EVER PLAY to retirement.
4.) Brought in so many WR's...remember DeMaryius Thomas, Ryan Grant, Dontrelle Inman, and etc...?
5.) Our first round drafted #1 WR in 20+ years ended up on I/R.
6.) We have seen Edelman, Gordon, and now Dorsett get banged up.
7.) We tried out AB, but the dude was too crazy to stick here....
8.) Oh...we also lost our LT for a few games as well!

If anything, BB did the best he could have given all circumstances.

 

[moosekill]

If you aren't good enough to make the team, you don't make the team. If you are as good as another player, but you cost $2 million more, you don't make the team. He played for a long time and got payed. Now he isn't good enough to make the team, so back to retirement. The NFL is a multi billion dollar business, to succeed you can't be nostalgic, it is what have are you going to do for me next Sunday.

Nah, just an old guy well-educated and experienced on the subject matter. Not a roid head at all, just not into people passing bad info because they’ve done a couple of cycles and read on some forums...

Well if the team didn't suck so bad we could at least hope they might get a win or two this year.

Oh, wait, this isn't the jets or the dolphins forum and we are 5-0 with the best defense in the league. Biggest point diff by about 80 points, fewest points allowed by a big margin. Last week beat the team with the second best record in the afc. Yup pretty tough time to be a pats fan.

Coming from this old guy who does TRT, you really do not know what you’re talking about...

There are different esters that release the hormone at different rates (half lives). If you are symptomatic with low T levels, your endocrinologist will most likely start at lower doses (100-150 mg average weekly dose with a cypionate or blended ester). They don’t go into bodybuilder territory which is usually a minimum of 500 mg weekly.

They test for ratios of test:epitest or for artificial test metabolites in your system.
I’m guessing he was low T (quite possibly from ug and not getting caught over the years) from fried gonads and was symptomatic. Now, he goes to his endo or a men’s clinic to start therapy. He probably admitted this to NFL powers-that-be, and was suspended for admission alone, but possible he was tested. Replacement therapy will probably put him in normal-to-high normal test levels, but not this “Supra human” level you speak of.

This is probably what happened..

I totally agree with this. If your doing Test for a while...even at low levels and then stop...your going to have low Test levels after a while...and your not really feeling like blocking 300 lb offensive linemen.

Yes I used on and off for years...and once your off for a while.....your way off.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

The guy's 38, retires, and takes doctor prescribed drugs to help heal for his future.

Team talks him out of retirement, and Watson warns them of suspension.

Patriots cut him immediately after suspension.

The team didn't commit any crime, but maybe Watson feels a little humiliated. Perhaps his family has heard cheater allegations. And now he looks like one of those guys who will do anything to stay in the game when they're washed up, which I don't think was the reality at all.

458K for a guy with 32 million career earnings. Think he felt is was worth it or fair?

Did the same thing to Thomas

 

[rochrist]

I called this
And was roasted for it the funds will be used with other cap finds to bring a Emanual Sanders AJ Green or Stephon Diggs

Minny isn't going to trade us Diggs and AJ is content being a loser.

When I do use, I use the 22 gauge myself into the delt -- since you want to get into a pissing contest about that silliness.
You're showing your ignorance here, stop at least for others not to be given bad information. If you are getting your TRT from a general practitioner, also stop! They don't know enough of the subject. At minimum go to a urologist, better to an endo. These are specialists in the subject. They'll know of some of these abbreviations that you shockingly dismiss (you understand you are taking a very powerful, body and mind changing hormone?) you should know about exogenous androgens can increase homocrit, aromitization, turn the lipid profile unfavorable, and include 5-a reductase conversion that could conceivably be bad.
And when you mightily inject yourself, I guess you assume the level goes right to where you want it to and stays just about there for the half life? Wrong.It jumps in first 24-ish hours then settles back and remains about there for the half life. Fyi, You can avoid that with high frequency injections at low levels. Below see even the basic TRT 100mg once a week eventually leads to 'against the rules' window.


Look forward to hearing about the next discussion point I'm wrong on, and about unimportant abbreviations.

The problem is the OL and I'm not sure why Bill should be blamed for two starters and both draft picks being hurt, plus having two guys retire on them in camp. Sometimes **** happens.
