Because the Cowboys gave him a 1 year prove it deal, he played exceptionally well before blowing it by failing a drug test and now the Cowboys are intentionally lowballing him.
Go somewhere (NE), do it again.

Well thats the twist, he'll be playing with better players making him look even better. Totally worth it for him.

He did regress, but I will say he played very well in the post season. No way Brady carves up the Ravens and Seahawks the way he did without the great play by Solder and Vollmer, despite the interior line troubles (against Seattle in particular).

kind of a cool little stealth perk to have a thurs game week 1

Can't wait to go to my fourth banner raising game. The last time we played the Steelers in the kick off game we destroyed them. I expect more of the same this year. As far as the schedule, other than the early bye which we were due for it's certainly not worse than last year.Anarchy99 said:

you gotta play your 8 roads sometime.
pats are generally better towards the end of the year, so earlier home games help.
they'll have that much more film on those teams by then, and january @miami is probably better than the heat of sept @miami.
they've seen manning so much at this point that the 1 lost day shouldn't mean much
also, as I mentioned, the first game being a thurs gives us extra time for ryan @bills with week 1 to look at and no short week on the thurs game
the one legit thurs game is in the middle of a homestand, so no travel

I know it's become kind of a larger than life cliche at this point, but..........@colts in primetime...........
how vindictive should we expect this team to be?

Would like to know more about the options. Its already great for the Pats, but if they can hold him longer without breaking banks, worth.
The options also allow him to go to another team and the Pats harvest those tasty comp picks.
Some good linebackers and edge players in this draft. If the long term plan is to move Hightower to MLB when Mayo moves on, nows a pretty good time to go after one in the draft.
Danielle Hunter, Hau'oli Kikaha, Benardrick Mckinney - some second/third round talents.

Blame Kraft for the final two games being away because he booked the Bruins to play in the Winter Classic at Gillette.

If this is, indeed, the schedule, I hate the usual November run of later games. I really like the 1:00 games so I can go out with friends for a few cocktails and get home semi-early that night. F'ing schedulers!

Oddly enough, I think ending on two road games and having more early season home games actually helps NE. In the BB/TB era, the Pats are 17-2 at home in September (.895) and 23-6 on the road in December (.793). A couple of those road losses were generally of the "don't care" variety as their seed was pretty much set. The bad news is that most of those December losses were against MIA.

idk- but that seems like a pretty favorable schedule. Jax, Texans, Redskins, Titans, AFC east, etc… A few tough games but 12-4 looks good! 13-3 even better. Pats have been lucky with later byes so I guess it was their turn.

Coming off a bye into a pretty tough stretch in October, @Cowboys, @Colts, vs Jets, vs Dolphins on a short week.

Their away schedule looks pretty tough to me. @ Bills, @ Dallas, @ Colts, @ Denver, @ Giants, @ Texans, @ Dolphins all seem like games they could lose. Home schedule seems pretty favorable though.AngryPatriot said:

I'm focused in on week 1 right now, but dudes we need to beat the giants
spags is back -- circle that revenge game on your calendar
we play the rest of our division on the road every year, so I don't know what the issues would be there, and the colts haven't seemed like much of a problem the last 4 times we played, or whatever the count is.

So the Well's report has to come out either Friday or Saturday, doesn't it? I can't imagine they would go beyond the draft before releasing the report. Would love it if the Sharks of Vegas are on the money.

Sharks of Vegas @SharksOfVegasThe Wells Report will have almost nothing to do with the Patriots. It is an investigation into the officials and the Colts. #DeflateGate

True but basically if it doesn't come out before then everyone already knows the result.

Thought it was the Goodell speech about the 2015 season. Said basically there was no time line for the Wells investigation and that punishment if any wouldn't happen in the 2015 season.At work, can't look it up though.

The less I hear about a resolution and an exoneration of the Pats the more po'd I get. WTF has there ever in the history of the NFL been an investigation into anything that lasted this long? Complete bs. It's like they know they have nothing and never will but still can't bring themselves to admit it. Pathetic. The NFL thrives because of the game and in spite of Goodell and the idiots running it.

So if the Pats ended up unable to trade back from the 1.32 and had a shot at Jordan Phillips, Marcus Peters and Randy Gregory - Who do you think they should take?
Its beginning to look like a legit possibility that Gregory slips out of the first, giving the Pats a shot at him obviously.

Pats seem to avoid anyone that slides to them. BB gets a list of guys he wants and takes them. He moves up and down to take those guys caring little about what anyone thinks and hardly what other teams do,
The hype all looks funny when I see what the Pats did. There is usually a reach that stumps Kiper etc.
Love this time of year!

Bill Belichick: Making guys throw up on draft day since 2002.
I still haven't gotten over the Seymour over Terrell pick myself and in my next lifetime I will be proven right.
