Sure, but it's the "told Patriots have signaled they won't match it" is the part that doesn't make sense to me.Officially make one? No. Get word to him on what they would offer? I'm 100% positive that happens.

No idea, and again it's all likely BS, but I would think if the Pats would be amenable to a contract that size it would've happened before we ever got to FA.Sure, but it's the "told Patriots have signaled they won't match it" is the part that doesn't make sense to me.
It might not be the money they'd have trouble with matching, it might be the ownership stakeNo idea, and again it's all likely BS, but I would think if the Pats would be amenable to a contract that size it would've happened before we ever got to FA.
The NFL doesn't but Packers as a publicly owned company make financial records public and the analysts at Forbes probably use those #s to make estimated valuations of teams.Oh I didn’t realize that the NFL teams opened their books for Forbes.
Doesn't matter. Only player compensation counts against the cap. Comparing how a coach is compensated to a player is apples to oranges.Didn’t Gruden get an ownership stake too?
Tough to watch. It’s like when you break up with your girlfriend but agree to remain friends for some reason. Unrequited love.

He definitely said "He's not." Which has about as much meaning as Edelman, who is clearly just teasing his friend.
"just some old teammates enjoying a college hoops catch-up"Tampering, right?
Edelman loves Brady unconditionally and would never do anything like this without Brady saying it’s ok. Brady wouldn’t say this is ok unless he were coming back. That’s what I firmly believeLike... there’s no way he possibly leaves... is there? Like for real?

It’d be harder if you had to first suffer Hugh Millen, trust me.also this is killing me. I love Brady more than I love any team or any sport. My first memory of a football game is being five and watching him beat the panthers in the super bowl. If he leaves I don’t know that I’d be able to watch football again
I know they are pals and went through a lot together but this doesn’t sit right with me. Screw Vrabel. They just knocked us out of the playoffs. It’s a silly reaction, I know. It’s not like they can’t be friends and still be highly competitive, but I don’t have to like it.
Or Marc Wilson. Or Tommy Hodson.It’d be harder if you had to first suffer Hugh Millen, trust me.
Absolutely true.Or Marc Wilson. Or Tommy Hodson.
There will be high school graduates this spring who have never known another starting quarterback (Cassell year understood)For the Pats fans whose only QB has been Brady.... oh boy. You have a cold dose of reality coming up that you are not ready for.
Tony Eason sends his love.Or Marc Wilson. Or Tommy Hodson.
From a fetal position seven steps behind the line of scrimmageTony Eason sends his love.
As does Matt Cavanaugh. In 1981 and 1982 he was...not good.Tony Eason sends his love.
Yes, there was that game against the Jets where he threw for 64 yards but lost 68 yards in sacks, for a net of -4 yards passing. But he did eventually get 2 Super Bowl rings for holding Joe Montana's clipboard. He was also the QB for the infamous John Lennon game. And, while we're on the topic, don't forget Tom Owen.As does Matt Cavanaugh. In 1981 and 1982 he was...not good.
To be fair, Secules was a career backup thrust onto the scene when Bledsoe sprained his knee his rookie year and missed 4 games. To be fair, he was horrid.Christ, I had forgotten about Hodson, Wilson, and the others, you assholes. Here’s another one for you:
Scott Secules
Same here, and I remember thinking there was hope when they brought in Joe KappMy first Pats qb was Mike Taliaferro.
Guy couldn't even prove his own name
Someone who uses the 1990 season as a starting point IS a "young Patriots fan"Young Patriots fans cannot comprehend that in the span of three years, the Patriots had a 1-15 season and a 2-14 season, sandwiched around an exceptionally good 6-10 season. In the 1-15 season (1990), they had a net point differential of -265, meaning they lost by an average of nearly 17 points a game.
Wait, Kapp played for the Pats? Learn somethin’ new every day.Same here, and I remember thinking there was hope when they brought in Joe Kapp
Too soon.Same here, and I remember thinking there was hope when they brought in Joe Kapp
He had 12 wins and 1 loss for Minnesota in 1969 ending in a loss in Super Bowl IV followed by a fall off the cliff 1 win and 9 losses record in 1970 with the Patriots. Ouch.Same here, and I remember thinking there was hope when they brought in Joe Kapp
The W-L record is immaterial (given that the entire team is responsible for the record) ... but the 3/17 TD/INT ratio is specialHe had 12 wins and 1 loss for Minnesota in 1969 ending in a loss in Super Bowl IV followed by a fall off the cliff 1 win and 9 losses record in 1970 with the Patriots. Ouch.
Don’t forget about the 27 sacks he took in those 10 games.The W-L record is immaterial (given that the entire team is responsible for the record) ... but the 3/17 TD/INT ratio is special
Thankfully for Kapp, he has forgotten themDon’t forget about the 27 sacks he took in those 10 games.
My first memory of football is my dad driving me and my brother to Goffstown NH to watch Patriots games in a cottage with no heat in a probably 15” black and white TV because the Pats were blacked out in Mass. the other weeks he was on the roof trying to get the pats out of Providence on the rotary antenna and almost fell off and died. This was probably 1989?also this is killing me. I love Brady more than I love any team or any sport. My first memory of a football game is being five and watching him beat the panthers in the super bowl. If he leaves I don’t know that I’d be able to watch football again
