A lot QB's and teams felt the way Watson and Savage felt. 6 of them in the SB.

Is that where Tgann stays when not on the sidelines cheering on the Rams?

You mean Ravens, right?? He'll be a Bronco fan now that his Demi-God Flacco is relocating.

No I'm pretty sure Tgann headed south to Fl. then headed west looking for his dream job. Like @Oldschool739 he bailed on the Ravens. Tgann was actually smarter and jumped ship before Flacco and his contract decided to sink that organization.

You are Tgann's puppet, he lives in your mind and controls your every thought...
Don't stand too close to the edge of that Bandwagon, you may fall off....Silly me, you'll just jump on another one, right !!!!!

Don't you wish that terribleness on our fan base. Even you can't be that cruel right BK?

Still tough for you to get over. Tgann just up and leaving you like that. Then your life crumbled.
Him taking the 73 VW Bus.
Not paying his half of the trailer rent.
No one to empty your drool cup.
Ray Rice knocking the shit out of bitches.
Harbaugh over night becomes a douche.
Lamar Jackson becomes the better QB in MaryLand.
Uni-brow departs for greener pastures.
Admitting you are going to start cheering for a new team.
Enjoy that bandwagon venture

Hey CD, long time no read. Hope all is well.

The Lions are not going to trade Stafford for only a 1st round pick. They would absorb $30 million in dead money and actually be worse off cap wise than just keeping him. So if they are going to absorb that kind of hit they need to be compensated for it. My guess is you are looking more at the Jay Cutler deal of 2 1st round picks to make that happen.

Hey cdumler7, don't be a stranger.

 

[ohiopatsfan]

Totally off topic but still Patriots' news: I heard that Robert Kraft learned that an assisted living facility in Winthrop was having a Patriots victory parade for the residents since they couldn't attend the Duck Boat Parade in Boston. He gave them the Lombardi Trophy to carry during their parade. What a neat thing to do! I grew up in Winthrop and that story has special meaning for me since my grandma spent her last few months at that facility.

Hey cdumler7, don't be a stranger.

Hey YT. I'll try to be around a bit more. Took some time away from the board but always have to come back to the roots of Sportshoopla.

Don't think the Krafts will be inviting the Rooney's over afor a beer very soon. Art Rooney II said yesterday that the Patriots would be the last team that the Steelers would trade Antonio Brown. Maybe it's because the Giants might trade Odell beckhamjr. to them.

Boston Sports Tonight was ga-ga last night about the potential for a deal. The only problem is that OBJ.s payday in 2019 is $17M and $15M in 2020. Super Bowl MVP and Brady trustee on makes $6M. Might be a little problem unless they all sit down and agree that it's not a problem.

Word is that the patriotsare literally working their collective asses off trying to resign their own players. Tre Flowers, Trent Brown, Cordarelle Patterson are being woo'd like high schools being chased for the prom. One thing in the Patriots favor is that Trent Browns's wife loves the Boston area. A few million dollars can change one's mind quickly.

As free agency is set to begin in about three weeks the Patriots will be looking to reload their roster in hopes at another run at a Lombardi Trophy. The team currently has almost $18 million in cap space but can free up more money by restructuring some deals or cutting players. As we await the decision on retirement from both Rob Gronkowski and Devin McCourtey, (if both retire Pats free up $20 million in cap space), let’s take a look at some possible free agents that could draw interest from the Patriots:

Adam Humphries, Wide Receiver

The Patriots only have two wideouts signed through the 2019 season; Julian Edelman and 2018 sixth-round draft pick Braxton Berrios. The Patriots have been in talks about acquiring a “premier” wideout over the last year. No, Humphries isn’t a top-10 talent in the league but he is a glorified slot receiver that can learn behind Edelman, who will be 33 in september and is on the last year of his deal. Humphries caught 76 passes for 816 yards and five touchdowns. The 5’11, 195 pound receiver would add depth to a position of need all while coming at relatively cheap price.

Demaryius Thomas, Wide Receiver

After nine seasons as the Broncos’ number one receiving option, Thomas was traded to the Houston Texans at the 2018 trade deadline. Thomas played seven games with the Texans before suffering a torn achilles in week 16, ending his season. The four-time Pro Bowler is set to hit the free agent market and could be looking for one final pay day. However, having already suffered an achilles injury on the opposite foot in years past, Thomas may come at a very reduced price. The Patriots were linked with him at the trade deadline but Denver decided to send him to Houston in exchange for a fourth round pick. Expect the Patriots to make a run at Thomas if the price is right.

Grady Jarrett, Defensive Tackle

The Patriots had a solid rotation at defensive tackle with Malcolm Brown, Lawrence Guy, and Danny Shelton all splitting playing time throughout last season. However Brown and Shelton are free agents this year and it’s likely that neither resign with the team. That opens the need for another defensive tackle. Grady Jarrett is an intriguing option because he has shown flashes of stardom in the past. Many may remember Jarrett for sacking Tom Brady three times in Super Bowl LI. During his four seasons as an Atlanta Falcon he totaled 14 sacks, 95 solo tackles and three forced fumbles. Garrett took big strides in his game year after year and would be a heck of a pick up if the price is right.

It’s always fun to hope certain players land on your favorite team. But the sad reality is that most of the time it doesn’t happen. The Patriots are going to have to free up a lot of money in order to acquire most of the big-name free agents. If star defensive end Trey Flowers walks in free agency the Pats may look to the NFL Draft to replace him. The looming decision for Gronk about his retirement will give us a better idea of how the Patriots will fair come March 11th. Until then, we have to wait patiently to know the future for Gronk.

Brady has a guaranteed base salary of $14M and a $1M roster bonus this year.

The Giants would take a $14.5M cap hit to trade OBJ, that's why their starting ask is two 1st rounders plus. It ain't happening.

Without 100% context, I'd say it's completely understandable that Rooney wouldn't want to easily improve the best run team in football. You've heard of "addition by subtraction"? That would be "subtraction multiplied by subtraction".

This is good news, he is a very smart player.
I would like to see a restructure to free up some cap space though.

Wtf rkk smh

Kraft is an idiot

Kraft is an idiot

Why? The dude is old and probably doesn't want to deal with women anymore. Pay a hooker, bust your nut, move on.

I have no problem with it at all. Actually, I think it's kinda funny.

Prostitution should be legal. I'll never understand why the government thinks it can tell consenting adults what they can do with their bodies.
