Patriots/NFL Week 2: At Miami, Pats trade Demaryius Thomas to Jets

[KrejciMVP]

We're onto Pittsburgh. Love this move right before sundays nights game

They must s**ting kittens right about now.

I am such a Patriots honk.

All about the laundry

I feel like just the sight of him in jersey on the sideline is enough to throw the Steelers off their game. The entire NFC North is an undisciplined mess

Mike Tomlin will be more undisciplined than usual.

Doesn't necessarily matter though, because the Steelers aren't in our league with or without AB. We're going to beat them by 17 either way.

Dont know why NFL Network is playing college ball. ESPN also doing Tennis. UGH.............wanna hear some analysis

he's not active

Bill must be laughing his ass off

Instead of giving up assets, they give up nothing but some dough. That's a win...

 

[Drift]

Hope his feet work

Thanks for the info

Patriots take talent over thuggery any day. Not a surprise. Should be a collusion investigation into it but there won't be.

And if he walks next season I think the Patriots get a 3rd round compensation pick.

The Patriots unexpectedly got one of the most talented players in the league and added to a seemingly unstoppable offense. What's there to be livid over?

A whole hell of a lot.

I don’t need a circus or the impression that you can act out and still get what you want and that’s only the tip of the iceburg for me.

not sure NFL players need convincing from the Pats to come to a team with a shot at a ring every year

 

[Boston Bandit]

Antonio Brown Signing Has Patriots Fans Begging Rob Gronkowski To Return

 

[chizzler]

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but this feels like the entire thing was planned...

There is no doubt. It happens in every league. I think everyone thinks this.

I know lots of people who would trade $30mil guaranteed for $9mil guaranteed.

I love what this franchise has done to people’s brains

Pats will cut him for being late to a film session or do anything stupid.

All these years they have proven our way or the highway

Surprised Pats fans would welcome this malcontent after forcing his way off a team by engaging in basically insanity all summer...what kind of idiot acts that way knowing he could lose the 29 mil guaranteed. I know, he felt disrespected for a team actually holding him accountable. The juju around this guy is just terrible, shocked a world class organization would give him as much as 15 mil after his antics, guessing they maybe feel they weren't good enough to win this year?

I mean the Patriots have the gold standard for a culture. Someone like Brown will either get his head on or be gone. Im still 50/50 on the signing because of how he handled things with the Raiders.

Because they will use him and if he just ties his shoes the wrong way he is cut.

They technically don’t need him

as an outsider it seems so below the Patriots. Want to give him minimum, or whatever ok, but to hand him 9 mil guaranteed. five minutes after this happened seems pretty lame. Its like a Redskins type move if that makes sense.

The internet is so mad lol.

agreed so why give him a 9 million dollar golden parachute? Seems they think they do need him for whatever reason.

I mean I'm not mad, but why reward a guy for acting so petulant his team had to cut him before he played a single down. Doesn't seem like a great precedent to set

It's a move that makes sense though. No knowing if Gordon makes it through the year. Brady needs playmakers for another Superbowl run and the Steelers foolishly sent Brown to a team where he would be unhappy. This is Pitts mistake, just like they did with Blount. They clearly don't think ahead and consider the Pats history of aquiring players like Blount and James Harrison
