All anybody had to do was look at SPOTRAC for Tom Brady/NE and it was clear it was impossible unless Jimmy G gave the Pats a sweetheart deal for 2018. I posted the details Friday. The decision was made Feb 2016 when they extended Brady. Amazing how many people hate the Pats and don't research the facts.
Exactly my point.
What? Get rid of the QB that has helped you win 5 Super bowls and this year led the team to a 13-3 record and #1 seed for a player that hasn't done anything? AMAZING! That's a Jimmy G lover's logic. The decision was made when they extended Brady.
No. #1 overall pick and five year starter vs. a guy that played five quarters in four years. Not the same.
Brady is getting old and Jimmy is young and was apparently ready. I mean you can't call BB a genius then say he didn't know how good Jimmy was. What Brady has done ten years ago means nothing. This is a business and the Patriots are near implosion with the way they're going.

Sam Bradford last year?
These are very different then the Pats spot. The one that comes close would be Farve and the Falcons, but I can't remember what they got for him.
I didn't mention Favre because he was a projected starter who clashed with his coach. (But he was technically a backup when he was traded, and he was traded for a 1st round pick.)
For the Pats? Ehhh maybe. it would turn the Browns around completely. 5 years of All Pro+ QB for 2 1sts? Who wouldn't take that?
Since we are making up alternative universes, what if the day after the trade Brady gets into a car accident and can never play football again? How does the trade shake out then?
Why be that improbable? What if Brady arrives in Cleveland, takes one look at the team and facilities, and announces his retirement?
It's what he has done this year., 13-3 record and #1 seed. Some implosion, they have Brady/Hoyer and 17 million in cap space. They can draft a QB in the upcoming draft and move merrily along. Kraft also explained why they traded with SF, 2nd rounder and Hoyer. Shows how much fans and media knows. .
There is little reason to think as of now Brady doe not play 2-3 more years barring injury, if he wins another SB then add 2 years to that win. So, again, question is that can they find and get a guy ready in that time frame. I really don't think they ever trade him, maybe a release like Manning.
UNPROVEN guys that made one or two starts traded in the past decade.
Lol. Browns fans so brain washed by mgmt the now dislike the idea of rostering good players
Does Brady make this team a super bowl contender or something? Last I checked we still have the same roster and more importantly the same idiot coach. Wow, we would get Brady for 2-3 years of MAYBE a wild card playoff berth for picks 1 and 4. Sounds awesome.
Agreed, for the browns. But given their track record those 3 years would be more than you've gotten from their picks anyway.
Just cause something is better than what we have doesnt make it good.
Enjoy the koolaid. I heard AP is going to play another five years too. No back like him, he can do anything.
Not sure where in this thread a Brady trade to the Browns was first posted and I don't care, because it is a stupid idea and not remotely possible. Even more amazing are those still debating it.
5 years? lol He might have one more in him. He'll be 41 next year. He's already outperforming his age by a mile. When father time catches up to him, it is going to be rapid and dramatic. Think Peyton Manning. League MVP in 2013. Terrible by 2015. And he wasn't as old as Brady is now. The Browns are young and have a wealth of picks coming. They are building for the future. Hoping the talents matures in 2 or 3 years to make them a contender. Brady will be average at best by then. Maybe even out of football. Browns fans would run ownership out of town if they traded even one of those picks away for Brady at this point.
I believe that Wickersham was on WEEI this morning and they discredited some of his sourcing. Wickersham reported that he talked to multiple players who gave him his info on Brady. But he wouldn't answer how many players he talked to. Not even anything as simple as 'more than one'.
Because the Patriots would never put false information out there? Did you read their website during deflategate?Sooo the wheels are off this wagon, and turning out to be 90% fabrication by ESPN?
I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
I agree their r 2 sides to every story and the truth most often is found in the middle.Because the Patriots would never put false information out there? Did you read their website during deflategate?
I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle, as usual.
Zero percent chance that Belichick hasn't read the article. Just a convenient way of saying no comment to every question.
Typical hater. I've posted spotrac info, BB, Kraft, Brady statements from different sites. Now they are statements from Mike Reiss' twitter about WEEI interviews.
Do you think I kept a screenshot or something?
FWIW, But he didn't just say no comment to every question, among other things he specifically said he did not meet with goodell last week......
Haters are experts. Think he might be busy.doing other things. If I was him I wouldn't read it either.
Haha, so in other words u have 1 thing u claim is false information (do u even know how many times the term "deflator" was used in a txt, or even when the term was used?)Do you think I kept a screenshot or something?
I read it at the time and laughed my ### off how disingenuous they were.
One of their statements was that the Dorito Dinks nickname was "the Deflator" because he was on a diet and trying to lose weight.
I'm really not interested in rehashing Deflate gate and I'm also not shocked you would buy into what the Pats shoveled out in response to the allegations. Like I said in these cases the truth is usually somewhere in the middle (which was the only reason I even brought it up).
An article from the #1 sports news company in the world regarding the state of his franchise, speaking largely about Belichick in specific. Uh, we both know he read it.
I was just calling you on what i considered to be a bit of a gratuitous shot on my boys and willing to let it go though asking for support of an assertion doesn't equate to me believing everything one side or the says either. I have no wish to rehash either so lets just move on.
