Renegotiating contracts every year to free up cap space to bring in top FA's or FA's that fit a particular role or need.

I understand that, but they never were so deep in forward contracts that they had to start dumping players like the Saints or others. Poor management of money or understanding where it would take them is not an excuse for the total collapse of a team. It's apparent that BB just didn't know "how" to do it, even with a cap expert living in the building. Sort a like a person who's taking Oxy gets admitted to a hospital and they won't give her Oxy but they will give her Tylenol.

That's bullshit Revisionist history.

He won 6 Super Bowls by working the salary cap and dead space and many anointed him a genius at it.

Should Steelers show interest in Patriots Joe Milton trade rumors?

Could Joe Milton III be the Pittsburgh Steelers next trade target if the Patriots make him available in 2025?

To the Steelers for a fourth? I don't think so.

Of course, this is a PIttsburgh fan/podcaster/media type. No way that Milton gets dealt to an AFC team for less than a second round pick. Vrabel's phone has probably been ringing out of his pocket with inquiries already. Every team that calls, jacks up the prices a little more.

Stupid Question???

What exactly is VPN?

Got a notice from Microsoft that VPN was off. Would I like to turn it on???

I downloaded Co-Pilot and it has totally screwed up Office 365 and WORD. Turning on something I know nothing about makes me consider switching to a new Apple system.

VPN Is basically a personal network it protects you from being spied on, it's a measure of security that you purchase. Are you sure this is not a message trying to get you to purchase a VPN

When I opened the three little buttons on the upper right of th screen the box showed a blue VPN and stated that it was closed. There was a small sliding button and it sked, "Do you want to open VPN?"

Didn't know what it was so I closed the screen.

Do you purchase a new PC recently? And did you purchase a software packet with it? If you did it's possible you purchased the VPN you would want it on, it protects you.

Patriots "Legend" Ted Johnson would have been more comfortable with Chip Kelly.

1) Get comfortable with yourself Ted, you don't have an insiders opinion.
2) WTF has Chip Kelly got over Skippy as an OC?? He's won some bowl games and a College Football Championship. Skippy got 6 rings as OC.

Patriots legend wanted Chip Kelly over Josh McDaniels as OC

Did the Patriots make the right choice?

I was thinking about this. I suspect the train of thought is Skippy will just bring what he brought when TB12 was here and teams know that offense. And it fair to question if Maye can run it. Maye is more mobile and the Pats may need to use him differently and it's fair to question if Kelly may be better with a more mobile QB and bring in a different look offense.

I do think Josh cannot bring in the Old Pats offense some of it sure, but he must bring something different too.

Josh's last offense with Brady was 2019. I think he's pretty much put that 'No run-Pocket pass' Offense to bed. One other thing when Brady was there was the lack of motion. Rarely did a WR cross in front of Brady during the count. With Maye and/or Milton, the offense will have to be multiple Run-Pass Option, Pass-Run-Option, Read-Check-Option and simpler Read-Switch-Option. RSO was when Brady would see the defense and tap his helmet with two fingers and everyone knew that the first play was off and the second play was the go.

My gut tells me that Josh will be a combination of the Shanahan and WCO.

I do think Josh has the offensive mind to adapt to players skill sets and devise schemes and plays that fit their abilities.

It was a pointer to the ten best VPN systems and offers. All had a 30 Day free trail. Some are ridiculously expensive for coverage up to 50 devices others were rated 4.9/5.0 for $3.95 a month and if you took the Microsoft offer you get 70% off for two years.

So the question becomes do you need a VPN not that you already had one and it's off. Yeah companies run that gambit on you.

Example of why you might want a VPN. If you use a jailbroke firestick you would want a VPN. Watch a lot ****. VPN.

@BigKen VPN is for hiding your location. If you want nfl games in an area not eligible, you want to watch **** in a country not allowed, you want to perform financial transactions in the Caribbeans without being tracked, etc, etc, etc
