  • He signs with New England, and they gave him $9 million as a signing bonus. 

    Damn near an NBA move by AB.

  • Has signed with the Patriots.

    Reported 1 year deal worth up to 15 million with 9 million signing bonus.

    If he can't act right there then I doubt he is in league in future.

  • Of course, who would expect anything else...

  • $15mm, Bob.... $10mm "guaranteed" for one year...

    LMFAO!!!

    Unfortunately he's ineligible Week 1 vs da Steelers.

    Anyone wanna bet me he's not returning punts Week 2? As in... I have the side that says he is?

    Seriously, fuck AB and fuck Belichick. 

  • ****THREAD TITLE CHANGE*****

    Hope You Didn't Draft Edelman or Gordon.

    He orchestrated himself off a crap team into virtual free agency, where he signed with the Super Bowl champs.

    And this will continue to happen because teams basically encourage it. He acted like a complete asshat and the news of his release had barely broke and a team snatched him up. What is going to stop other players from pulling this stunt?

    Talent

  • This is why I hardly give a fuck about the NFL anymore.

  • If anything, this almost guarantees no guaranteed money in the next CBA.

    Going to be a helluva long strike in that case...

  • Edelman is always a safe bet.

    He's Tom's emotional support "pet"...

    It might, but you can't blame the owners for it.

  • Sure I can...

    "Guaranteed" money has been a mirage for decades. Now it's starting to be real. There's no going back.

  • Calls his GM a "cracker" and gets paid a $9 million signing bonus. 

    Hate to get racial, but my goodness, imagine if Mayock called AB a "N*****?" He'd be out of football forever.

    Besides that, you've got to wonder if this whole thing was orchestrated by AB and Rosenhaus.

    Of course it was. 

    You think he's going to give two shits about what helmet they slap on his head in New England? 

  • Edelman has a high floor with a much lower ceiling.  Especially the second half of the season.  

  • So-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooooooo

    AB had a 3-year contract worth $50mm (min)/ $54mm (max) with $30mm fully-guaranteed, and then...

    ... trashed that to land a 1-year, $15mm contract with $10mm guaranteed-ish???

    Not seeing the motivation there.

    EDIT: Plus you can be sure there will be a lawsuit over at least the signing portion of the OAK contract.

    Scouts honor or pinky promise?

    Wonder what the owners prefer?
