Then when the pats called why not go get a ring? It’s not like I chalked up winning against them this year anyway. Advantage tho is no gronk. If gronk comes back it’s going to be another boring afc champion. You're assuming AB values the probability of getting a ring with New England this year (whatever that is, we know it's less than 1) over THIRTY NINE MILLION DOLLARS. I doubt it.

Bubba Gump Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 When is the NFL gonna change its name to the NEFL? Also, Bill Cowher just said on the pre-game show that recording a phone call is illegal in California. Wonder if anything comes of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. I keep seeing that he lost anywhere from $21-$39 million. Assuming he will keep his head down and play well this year for the Pats, he is a FREE AGENT next season. He will get another contract and possibly ever more money on top of the $9-$15 mill he gets from the Pats. He didn't lose any money at all.

Yes you are right. I got myself caught up in current trends and how many athletes approach the game today. It is definately more business like and sensationalized today. I have been a fan for 40+ years and I understand where you are coming from. Yes, Josh Allen's old school approach to the game is refreshing...there is still hope!

Cause we know once it was probably reported through back channels that the Pats wanted him he asked for his release right after his heartfelt team apology yesterday...potentially a CBA issue? It's no different than Elway, Manning or a host of other forced trade situations - just a lot more bizarre and less intellectually coherent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown appears to be a real superficial character. Status and winning are very important to him. If he can hang with people that he perceives as winners, he will probably be on his best behavior. He also happens to be a very good football player. 8 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said: It's no different than Elway, Manning or a host of other forced trade situations - just a lot more bizarre and less intellectually coherent.

Nitro Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Throw a tantrum and poor to get traded. Do not like the team traded to? Repeat process. Have agent contact the list of teams that you want to sign with ready. Precedent? Not sure others will go this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
