Stupid Off-Season Thread

Are Patriots reluctant to offer Tom Brady an extension?

They should be. Depends on how long. I wouldn't add more than 1-year. Then assess Brady from there. Need to find the next starter.

Look the Pats need to prepare to move on from Brady I too would be leery of an extension

Gronk retires and the football world is in a tizzy.....from CBSSports.com

With the best players no longer available in free agency, teams will be looking to fill any voids on their roster by making a potential trade. For example, the Patriots are going to have a giant hole to fill on their offense now that Rob Gronkowski has decided to retire and it wouldn't be surprising to see them make a big trade before the NFL Draft kicks off on April 25.

With that in mind, let's check out seven trades that teams need to make before the draft, starting with the Patriots.

Patriots land two weapons for Tom Brady
1. Falcons trade Mohamed Sanu to the Patriots
Patriots get: Mohamed Sanu
Falcons get: 2019 third-round pick (97th overall)

2. Packers trade Jimmy Graham to the Patriots
Patriots get: Jimmy Graham
Packers get: 2019 third-round pick (101st overall)

If we've learned one thing about Bill Belichick during his 19 seasons in New England, it's that he's not afraid to make a trade for an offensive weapon if he thinks the Patriots need one, and the Patriots definitely need one. Since March 2007, we've seen Belichick go the trade route to add receivers like Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Deion Branch and Brandin Cooks. Last year, we even saw the Patriots add Cordarrelle Patterson.

Graham couldn't block me. No thanks.

Sanu is very interesting though. I'd be happy with that trade depending on length and $.

Did either of you watch the video? It's not an article.

You two are some triggered bitches.

It still belongs in this thread.....

all hail Gronk! Long live Gronk!!!!!

The Jets are redesigning everything from the players to their uniforms and helmets. Wonder if the "black" additions will improve their performance?

Those uniforms look really nice. The Jets are getting better. They have a QB now. They will be fighting for a playoff spot soon, rather than a top 10 pick.

I'm sure BB is onto 2020. NE already has nine picks in the 2020 draft. Likely 13 once the comp picks are given out.

Here's a great article on how BB continues to stay ahead of the NFL. Regardless of lost picks, picking near the bottom of every round and not getting caught in cap hell.

Did Sean McVay watch too much film to prep for Patriots in Super Bowl LIII?

A three run homer will still be damnfuckin nice.

The dude can't seem to get over it. Keeps making excuses.

They are the best team left, if they play their best hockey.

I think that and Kyrie shoot what 23% in the series. They need to get rid of him and let Tatum and Rozier have the reins. Trade one of those lottery picks and get Anthony Davis.

Kyrie was 13 of 43 from the floor in the last two games. He wanted to get out from LeBron's shadow and be the "man" on his team. Looks like he got sunburned from too much exposure and turned out to be a "boy" when he needed to grow up.

If keeping him is the only way to get AD, let him go. Team played better without him last year.

Baynes played 38 minutes in the Milwaukee series. Giving him any blame would be like blaming Cardona for the Pats losing the Eagles SB

Kyrie quit, Hayward turtled, and Budenholzer coached circles around the Boy Wonder. That’s why they lost.
