I can't imagine the meltdown this board would have of Whaley did something like this...but, per some reports he was frequently out of place in the Defense and was asking for a lot of money making negotiations difficult. I wish this team would take this approach sometimes....but NE has the coaching to overcome this type of stance.

They ditched Jones and Collins. Nobody's safe on their defense

Both heading into contract years. This should be a good indication that their plans are to lock up Hightower and Butler.

only Tom and Gronk are sacred.

I agree resign those two I hope is key. Butler was a steal as an UDFA.

Also ditched Welker, Woodhead and some Olinemen I can't remember.

Welker left on his own for more $$ in FA (they tried to sighn him. And woodhead moved on and got Paid big time.

 

IMO players are attracted to NE because you can do a 1-2 year prove it deal and go get paid elsewhere. (Some stay as they like winning over a few million more a year.)

 

Moss back in 2010...

I think they gave a th and got a 3rd from Minnesota.. was a get out of here you cancer... type move

I dont think that is only relevant to NE. Heck, we've done it with Spikes, Incognito, Rambo, ZBrown, and Alexander.

You can do a lot of things when your QB is named Brady.

They were 3-1 without him. He's great and all, but the staff/franchise is also quality these days.
