Antonio Brown to Patriots

[Doomsday]

Seems like he didn't want to be a Raider and was doing everything he could to get released.

It worked, and now he gets to play for a contender.

 

[Mannix]

--------it's not the Pats are getting a pass

Yes they are....if the Cowboys had a HC who could control him, then the taking point would move to how terrible Dallas is for taking in a known malcontent.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

I actually am devastated, I can't believe it. They drafted a receiver number one pick. The get Gordon back. Edelman. I can't believe they wanted this guy. Super Bowl for Brady. I guess I answered my own question

Well, if history tells us anything, when the Patriots had a juggernaut of a roster and went 16-0, they got upset in the big game by the huge underdog.

Here’s to Bill/Brady not winning the SB this year!

Brown will either be a good boy scout or get cut. The Pats don't care and don't really NEED him, he's just gravy. The Patriots are consistent about both giving problem children a fair shake, and purging them the second they're a pain in the neck.

That said, the Pats also don't do stuff that's purely spiteful, like fining a guy immediately after he made a public apology to his teammates. AB was acting nuts the whole time, but that last bit was just the GM actively goading him instead of taking the W.

 

[Shuff]

Wow, Gruden having a tough start......

I kind of agree. I know Mayocks ego was hurt because Gruden didn’t back him up, but AB is completely out of his mind- no one could have thought fining him was a good idea.

Seems like the fines were to establish some paperwork so they wouldn’t have to pay him

 

[Whyjerry]

Wow.

Surprising.

Not at all actually.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

not surprising as that's what they have done in the past. one year deal. strong organization with no real drama. they probably just punched their ticket to the superbowl. with Gordon, Edlemean, Brown and their stable of RB and good OL and then the GOAT Brady. he is about to set some new records perhaps.

if KC would have signed him, they would have punched their ticket to the superbowl.

 

[Pass2Run]

I wasn't aware there was anyone who didn't know where that term came form.

I was just going fir obscure comedy.

I guess I missed the funny part

Not at all actually.

In hindsight, no.

 

[Mannix]

-------Welp.. we’re going to see Antonio Brown twice this years boys. Is what it is

Ok...then there are two (2) losses given who we have patrolling the sideline in a Bat Utility Belt.

 

[G2]

This move just solidifies one thing. That there are 31 teams fighting for the opportunity to lose to New England in the postseason.

 

[TheHerd]

This really smells. Was this the plan along?

Of course. The Pats wanted to trade for him, but Pitt refused. This was their plan after that. Zeke be suspended for the tampering for sure.

 

[JonesBoys]

This guarantees nothing. How many super bowls did they win with Randy Moss and Tom Brady in his prime? 0

Yup, THAT is the real question: How long will Zeke be suspended for the Cheatriots tampering?

No one had a chance to sign. This was a done deal days ago. At least.

 

[Alexander]

The envy in this thread is thick with some of you.

 

[cowboy_ron]

The quick timing along with other things seems to be a bit shady.....more Patriots questionable moves?

 

[Corso]

Moss was lazy, this dude is crazy.

At least their problems rhymed...

 

[MojaveJT]

Gronk is going to come out of retirement as well. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

 

[rags]

Let’s see if Billy Boy and company keep him in check.

If Big Bill can't straighten him out, who can.

Meanwhile, the rich get richer.
