DKH sent this to me last night,good read and explains a lot of why they do what they do
I'm sure the team if advisors he has working for him were also aware that NE wouldn't gave much cap space this off-season and there was little opportunity to bring in more weapons for Tom.
Absolutely. This is also about Brady dumping Edelman and Sanu.
You think we didn’t give him GM powers burning a second on Sanu and doing the Antonio Brown thing?
Jules still had 100 catches and Sanu is what he is. I worry about their commitment but what moves could we make to get 2 better vets?
Also I would definitely wager the player he was taking about ‘Dont put that guy on the field I don’t trust him’ is still on the roster.
The groups fine I like the tight ends they got the big boy who can move and is 25lbs heavier than the tweener dudes in the draft and a FB/TE hybrid to push Green Bay guy. That position isn’t gonna be that bad. Stiddy knows Harry Meyers and Gunner. Byrd will likely have less than 10 catches but watch us sneak him onto the field and hit a 60 yarder at some point or Jeff Thomas is that hidden speed guy. And the 2 vets. BB showed Edelman and Sanu respect not drafting a WR.
If TB had a way to get Jules to come with him he would have. I'm actually excited for next season. New chapter in Patriots football and I expect we see a style of offense we haven't seen with Brady.
I doubt we open it up too much. All comes down to the run game. Mason-Andrews-Thuney and a fullback will make things a lot different. But one designed QB run per gam will open up lanes just as much.

Seems like kind of a fake extension. Takes him through age 36, but I doubt he's still playing by that point. I'm guessing they basically added fake years to the end, and paid him more upfront so that it was worth it for him to sign. Saying all that, I could have sworn that the new CBA made it so teams couldn't use extra fake years to spread out cap hits, but I'm not sure about that.
The only reason they made this deal was to free up 925K in cap space.Idk. There's so many other moves they could have made if it was for cap room purposes. I love Chung, but it's about time to go.
