Well the Patriots just cut Cody Kessler. Looks like their about to make a move for a QB here 

My guess is Jameis Winston.

All right Beane!   Now is the time to pounce!  Give him a base of 15MIL/year and incentives to get to 19-20MIL/yr...   2-3 year deal.

Are those cap numbers for real?!

 

Brady left them neck high in it with that dead cap hit.

Yes they are and BB did it to himself.

I agree.  To make any moves they need to move Thuney for draft picks prior to the draft.

 

I think a lot of people are going to see the .460 win percentage before Brady genius come to light soon.

I dont love Clowney, but at this point it's almost worth giving him a yr $16M deal just for the 3rd round compensatory pick wed get if he signed elsewhere the following offseason.

 

$16M for 1 year of Clowney is so so

 

$16M for 1 year of Clowney plus a future 3rd round comp pick seems like a smart deal

They can’t even sign their draft class right now

The comp pick would be for 2022 and that assumes you don’t sign any major free agents in 2021.

 

The issue that Clowney has is that cap space rolls over into the next offseason. Do you want 1 year of Clowney or would you rather have that 16MM available next year where you can sign a bunch of good players.

He's a risk. First of all injuries. Second, is he one of those guys that ups his game when a signing bonus is at stake?

[ndirish1978]

He still takes plays off

No way Belicheck will take that interception machine on his team.

Exactly.

 

He'd never let Winston tarnish his precious reputation.

The Thuney move was an odd play by BB. I think he franchised him for the the sole purpose of keeping him away from the Jets and Dolphins.

Complete opposite. Get Winston to take a prove it deal. Winston might not even start there who knows.

But it's New England!  They should be willing to play for free just to be coached by Belichick!  ?

I agree that injuries would be a risk with him, but he played hurt last year w/ Seattle and played pretty well.

 

IF he doesn't care about his bonus' they we get him for 15MIL to get a great decoy and while the offense is looking at him, others can get the sack/pressure.  IMO, the only true weakness on the defense is the amount of time it takes to get to the QB.  If Clowney helps lessen that number and we put pressure on the QB sooner, they defense will be even more deadly than before.

 

I think Clowney would flourish in our defense. If he stays healthy, I bet he could get 10-15 QB sacks... THEN he would get that 20MIL/yr contract he desires.
