What a Tuel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) That's with a $16 million Tyrod Taylor hit. Knock him off and we are up to 11th. Not that I think we should. Edited January 19, 2017 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The Pats are pretty good at the salary cap thing Yeah that NE team is good at everything. Which is why when Brady's battery finally does run out, it still might not get better, If the Bills have 31M in space, why cut Tyrod? Doing so would free up money to spend on whom? And once you spend that money, you still have no QB. I for one don't want to give 15M to Gilmore. 31M gets you a couple of UFA DB's, you can improve the RT position and target a WR, and get a new kicker. Plus you draft a WR or 2, perhaps another QB, a couple of DB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady's little project next to the stadium makes sure he gets paid in ways that the NFL doesn't have to know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you draft a WR or 2, perhaps another QB, a couple of DB's. I agree that the Patriots are good at everything but Brady being so good does allow them to spend less elsewhere. They lose that when the Mary hangs up his tutu. Also I wouldn't be surprised if little Bill rides off into the sunset with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But want to give a QB that is not good enough a guanteeed 2 year contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So you dont want to give Gilmore 15M a year why? Not worth it? But want to give a QB that is not good enough a guanteeed 2 year contract The problem comes to the replacement. We cut Tyrod, we need a valid replacement. I could go with Romo or Cousins or some other high caliber QB, but I can't stomach a Kaepernick or Hoyer in 2017. We might as well tank at that point. So yes, keep Tyrod if there is no replacement plan, because he gives us the best chance to win. I agree that the Patriots are good at everything but Brady being so good does allow them to spend less elsewhere. They lose that when the Mary hangs up his tutu. Also I wouldn't be surprised if little Bill rides off into the sunset with him. He is turning 40 in August. Not much longer thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go get your QB in draft and get s cheap vet that does exactly what TT does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
