Agreed. Somehow I have a hunch this is more a case of "Bruce, come in come in. Listen, Tommy doesn't want you as coach so we're going to need you to resign." Bill Simmons speculated on this early in the off-season because of the comments about Arians saying he wouldn't trade him, etc. Bill thought that Arians was very dismissive of Brady and maybe overplayed his hand in a land where QBs rule the world.Originally posted by SudsMcBucky View PostA Brady problem, I think...
So I will that if this statement is actually Arian's perspective (I doubt it tbh), it is quite commendable.

This is how rumors get started Fritz. Headline "Brady's wife forces Arians to retire"Originally posted by Fritz View PostSounds to me that the wife wanted him to retire.

Well, I meant Bruce Arians's wife. Picture it: she's sick of him being gone all the damn time, being in the spotlight, so she says "Hey, Bruce, isn't it time to let the younguns take over? If you don't go now, you're going to leave your friends with a mess. Come on, we need to use our time-share more often.""The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

DeVante Parker to Patriots:
Adam Schefter
@AdamSchefter
Patriots get WR DeVante Parker and a 2022 5th-round pick.
Dolphins get a 2023 third-round pick.I can't run no more with that lawless crowd

But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud

Okay, cue all the responses about how proactive and awesome the Patriots are for doing this, and why can't the Packers ever be like that, and so on, and so on.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostDeVante Parker to Patriots:

its gonna be a flat out disaster when we're starting 2 rookies at WR and our QB refuses to even look at them because they haven't been playing with him for at least 3 years

Was actually hoping they'd go after Parker... maybe they did and NE won out Parker would have been affordable and a good veteran addition - he's a decent receiver on what has been a mostly bad team.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostDeVante Parker to Patriots:

I doubt SEA wants to trade Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett is good but he's old and expensive. Maybe they go for Julio Jones after all... or maybe they sign 35 y/o Emanuel Sanders and hope the draft gets them some help right away.
Trying to think of who else is out there...Will Fuller and his steroid kit? AJ Green? It's slim pickings.
Also: holy crap, Jarvis Landry is 29 going on 30? The way he plays, I thought that dude was older.

Will Fuller is still out there. He's been my first choice all along. I'm increasingly thinking, though, that they might not sign a FA WR at all.
I'd be almost as happy as APB if they could pull off a trade for Metcalf, but I very much doubt that is happening.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

We may not see fa movement till after draft. Plus if they wait till june 1 half if the 2022 cap hit can be pushed to 2023 (I believe) so they can get more with less. Tbey have arpund 7-8 mil usable space for pick ups. Much as we hate it I think it is wait it out time.
Unless the extend jaire. And that aint happening soon...All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
