"It’s a strange relationship that might actually violate NFL salary cap rules. Typically, physical therapy companies pay to sponsor NFL teams. But in this case, the Patriots are paying Guerrero (possibly as much as $200/hour), and Brady himself might be profiting.

 


If Brady profits from the arrangement, “then this would seem to be in violation of the salary cap, at least in spirit,’’ said Daniel Rascher, a sports economist at the University of San Francisco who has consulted for the NFL."


"The Patriots have accommodated Guerrero, who is also the godfather of Brady’s son Ben, by dedicating a room at Gillette Stadium for him to treat players away from the regular medical and training staffs."

 

He began providing therapy to then-linebacker Willie McGinest at Gillette nearly 15 years ago. On McGinest’s recommendation, other prominent Patriots began seeing Guerrero.The roll call of Patriots who have since credited Guerrero with helping them extends from Lawyer Milloy to Ty Law to Troy Brown to Wes Welker to Aaron Hernandez to current players such as Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. The late Junior Seau dubbed him “Mr. Miyagi,’’ the mystical healer of “The Karate Kid’’ fame, for his therapeutic skills."

And remember that Guerrero was the guy the FTC told to stop peddling a fake cancer treatment regimen on the basis of a supposed study that never actually existed. That came out a couple of months ago.

 

So what else is new--more shady dealings by the Pats*. No one should be surprised at this point.

 

And if he got a ringing endorsement from Junior Seau, what more could one ask for?
