Yeah, Belichick is going to put up with about 1% of the BS Gruden did.

To be fair it was probably worth $15 million to get away from the Raiders and Gruden, they were gonna ruin his career

[Capn81 372]

Zero chance AB gets away with anything in NE. Better to to keep his mouth shut.

[hpslugga 4044]

So their 4WR set is Thomas, Edelman, Brown, and Gordon?

Player potential-wise, they have what’s needed to make 2007 look like a cakewalk. 

Ego potential-wise, they have what’s needed to explode into an unmitigated disaster never before seen 

[Valmy77 13094]

Guy acts so badly the team that just spent tens of millions drops him, and then he gets to go play for the Patriots. The world is unjust.

[aggie08 21434]

Shows how desperate the Pats are for receivers that they're willing to 1) Take him in, 2) Pay him real money, 3) Put him in the same locker room as Josh Gordon.

I guess it's worth the risk to have AB and Gordon out wide and Edelman working the slot. Scary good potential.

Egos don't last with the Pats.  Never have, never will.  Brown will be gone the first time he looks at Brady sideways.   That may be sooner rather than later.  But if anyone is going to put Brown in his place, it will be Brady and Belichick.  Depends upon if we wants to win a title.

From a pure personnel standpoint, Harry was a disappointment and he's now on IR.   This will shore things up.

Just ridiculous how the NFL allows the Pats and Cowboys to feast off of all the league's reprobates, scumbags, and criminals.  Teams do the right thing and cut a POS, the Pats and Cowboys then reward them for their slimy behavior.

As much as Brown is piece of shit, I'd still rather see Bennett rip his achilles on Sunday.   And I'm probably the biggest Pats fan on this board.

There are pieces of shit. 

And then there is Bennett.

No. Oakland is out less than $2mil total. They’re more pissed about the draft picks they gave up to Pitt.

 

 

Well yeah I meant Oakland was planning on spending that on him, obviously it earned them very little goodwill from AB.

Barely. He threw a chair or something out of a 15th floor window because $50k in cash went missing and it almost landed on a toddler.

The NFL should set up some kind of consistent league wide ethics policy.  You get cut for 'detrimental conduct' and you have to sit out the rest of the season.  Of course subject to league office review, an appeals process, perhaps including an arbitrator.

And spare me the BS of "But they have a right to earn a living."  They can still hire on at any McDonalds or Walmart or Big Red Motors.  Many have already banked millions.  And there's always Canada, Euro semi-pro, arena, etc.

How do we know that AB isn't pulling a fast one, trying to get cut because his agent had a secret deal worked out with Belicheat earlier this summer?

Then why bother with an apology? Pretty clearly he thought that a public apology would protect his money. Then he snapped (as expected) when they still went after his guaranteed dough.

Lmao what? Allows those teams? Every single team can sign them if they want. How many scumbags has Dallas signed? Greg Hardy? And they cut bait really quick. Quit overracting 

But yeah, keep with that narrative Dallas signs all these types of players constantly. Boo fucking hoo.

Off topic, but the word "narrative" is so overused. It now spans every context. There should be a law that only allows each person to use it twice in a year and if you exceed your allotment your face gets sewn to your crotch.

I’m not sure he’s smart enough to orchestrate something like this.

I say decent odds he never plays a down for the Pats.
