NE Patriots Rumors and Rumors of Rumors 2023

[BigKen]

And so it begins.

Rumor is that BB contacted the Atlanta Falcons about a possible trade for Calvin Ridley. Ridley, as you all know, left the Falcons in October 2022 to take care of himself. He admittedly said that he was having mental issues and needed time away from the game.

The Falcons staff, apparently, can't keep secrets and shortly after BB inquired, the Cleveland Browns inquired about the possibility of trading for Ridley.

Several questions. Does Ridley want to play football again?. If he did have some mental breakdown, is he ready to play professional football? Now that the world knows about the Patriots and Browns inquiring, did the price just go through the roof?

Thanks....

That rumor showed up twice this morning.

Maybe the reporter who started it is trying to BS the public or got the wrong teams from his sources.

I did some research:
Either way, Ridley didn't play this year. Mental illness or not, He's been suspended by Goodell and remains suspended.

The more info I'm finding, the more I think it's Bullshit.

With all of the issues facing the Patriots, BB would not want to add another potential problem.

My apologies for even adding this crap.

If you could substantiate that in any way you’d be the hero of this board.

Patriots fire Matt Patricia from OC, but who does it get to help Mac Jones?

Bill Belichick took an important step to help his first-round quarterback from the 2020 NFL Draft. The New England Patriots saw a successful Mac Jones as a rookie under Josh McDaniels, but the Matt Patricia experiment at offensive coordinator was a waste. Simon Charles, a Patriots beat reporter...

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Browns have requested permission to interview Patriots' LB coach Jerod Mayo for their defensive coordinator vacancy.​

Mayo will be a hot name this offseason. The former All-Pro linebacker has served as the Patriots' inside linebackers coach since 2019 and was interviewed by the Raiders at the start of 2022 for their head coaching vacancy. Mayo will likely field multiple interview requests over the next several days and could be coaching elsewhere in 2023.

Guess that ain't a rumor after all.

Who says that Bob Kraft ain't the boss?

How do you know this was Kraft and not BB? BB stated at the start of the year if this did not work it was on him

I read the whole article and Kraft says that there are more changes coming, not BB.

Okay but do you really not think Kraft is not talking to BB? It's not fair to assume BB did not pull the trigger on this when you simply DO NOT KNOW. This is exactly what you get called out for all the time brah

 

[Carnzo]

I'm beginning to doubt that Matt got canned, no other sources say it happened

I agree with this.
Nobody knows how their conversations go.

Why is it so hard for you to think that Bob Kraft is incapable of telling BB what to do?

I worked with and for business owners and I owned my own business before I retired. I've never met a business owner who has underlings telling them how they will run the operation. Especially when the operations are not going well. Not even my wife was allowed to make a suggestion as to how I did things.

Kraft appears to everyone to be a meek, well mannered, understanding man. Exactly the personification that he wishes everyone to see and think. That's exactly why he tiptoed amongst the tulips when he got caught at the rub and scrub in Florida. The first question was "Why would a billionaire go to a cheap place like that?" Answer is that it isn't cheap and he can get things cleaned there that he can't get done at the local laundromat."
Kraft is a slick ruthless prick when it comes to business and his image. Ask the leagal he had working for him cleaning up the soiled laundry in Florida. You think he bought all that property at Patriots Place with a handshake, a smile and simple transfer of cash? My guess is that there a bunch of egos and assholes buried in those fancy store foundations. Who got their lights dimmed when Kraft decided that he wanted a Casino next door? Kraft is not a Native American. How did he get the license? All of the other Casinos in NE are owned by Native Americans.

Belichick is an employee. A great, successful employee. But Kraft is the boss and like any boss, will do whatever "he" thinks is best for "his" business. If BB doesn't agree, BB will no longer an employee. That's the way business works.

Don't put words in my mouth and your business exp has got nothing to do with this. This is not about what I believe its your proclamation that Kraft did this and not BB. It's simple don't say shit you cannot back.
