Beast Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Honestly, I don’t even remember the guy. I guess Miyagi Belichick couldn’t heal his knee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The veteran minimum blows away what most of us earn in 10-15 years of work. There might be a greater risk of injury but the teams take care of most medical bills and that's not cheap either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a huge disappointment. That kind of “glass half full” thinking is really nice. The counter argument is that he only played 14 games in the NFL, and that the team (and fan base) had pretty big expectations for him which really never materialized because of injury. I would certainly classify a 14 game NFL as “disappointing.” 12 minutes ago, Doc said: Help them win a Super Bowl? Seriously? Exactly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Debating the overall level of career suckiness or really really career suckiness of a soon to be consigned to the dustbin of NFL history former Pats player makes me want to formally say that I can’t wait for the 2019 season to start.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 He is a great kid. I read a book that detailed his High School footballs team in Georgia. Knees were shot. Too bad. I don’t like the Pats but this kid was someone who personality wise deserved a better chance. Good luck and I know you will be successful at life Malcolm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I dont worry what the roster looks like. Pats will get guys on short cheap contracts and coach them up. Last years roster was one of the weakest I can remember and they still won the Superbowl. Edited March 25, 2019 by Chris66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
