My money is on Gunner Olchewski

He got cut.

The Patriots kept Gunner Olszewski

Rumor this morning is that Philip Dorsett is on the trade block and several teams are interested.

One I heard this morning is that the Cardinals were the first to call BB after the AB news yesterday. Two other teams that supposedly have inquired are the Jags and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Oakland Raiders.

One of my guys just called me........................he was near hysterical........

Warning........this not BigKen's rumor. This is straight from a barbershop guy who has been dead nuts in the past (He's the guy who told me about AB)......................................................He says that Rob Gronkoski will return to the Patriots in Week 9 for the vet minimum.

Good call. I can't wait to see AB in the return game.

Over/under Flores will be back as DC by week 4?

I hope not. By the way, he is still under contract? Since he never submitted his retirement papers. Why would he come back for the vet minimum? He won't even make a million.

They are tanking for a top QB.

How Gronk's retirement affects cap space

How Gronk's retirement affects cap space

Thanks. That explains it very well and what I thought he'd be paid. How he fits into the Pats cap now, I don't know.

"If Gronk decides to unretire during the regular season his cap number would be $9 million (his base salary) divided by 17 (the number of weeks in the regular season) times the number of weeks remaining in the season plus $46,875 times the remaining number of games. So let’s say Gronk unretires with nine weeks and nine games remaining in the season. His salary would then be $4,764,706 and his cap number would be $5,186,581."

If he comes back, Rosenhaus will renegotiate his contract in such a way that it will not hurt the patriots and will pay Gronk............Rosenhaus is pretty good at his job.

And yet I’m sure you’ve celebrated every SuperBowl win from this low moral franchise.

I found a new team you can root for. Hopefully their moral compass is good enough for you.

Sorry for the delayed response my video card has gone Tango Uniform could not reply this weekend.

I have because I have been following this team since the early 70s.

In the end what any really feels matters not because we have no control over what happens. I just don't turn a blind eye and do not rationalize what this team has done. I don't feel the Suspensions, fines and loss of draft picks was some conspiracy theory.

Fans and the media present this as "The Pats can turn this kid around" as if there is some form martyrdom in what we do. The Pats bring in highly talented players who are morally questionable they don't do this to help him straighten players out they do this to win. And there is nothing illegal about that. But the two players that really rubbed me wrong that IMO we should have avoided were Haynseworth and Brown, but bump he is hear all I can do is hope he breaks his damn leg.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Hats off to BigKen for calling this one.

 

[YankeeRebel]

IMO Curran hits the nail on the head.

[Yankee Traveler]

Welp...I didn't want him, but we got him. I will love him like a step brother.

I don't recall, has he ever had legal trouble?
Woman/child beater?
Drugs or steroids?

Or just a cray cray diva ?

Dungy has such a blind biased hatred towards the Patriots organization that it is pathetic.
I have never heard him say anything good about the Patriots or anybody in the organization.
Did he ever come out and chastise Marvin Harrison?
How about Jim Irsay?

Ahh Okay. The Jist of is that AB is the one player the Pats should have and could have avoided. It was not a team need and not worth the headaches he has brought in the past.
