Doesn’t he realize he is of no use to the Patriots. Brady can’t throw the ball 30 yards. Brady needs to throw a 5-10 yard pass to to a Tight End or a slot Receiver and have them run for 30 yards. When Brady throws the long ball, it floats and a good safety will pick it off.

Awwww…..did someone finish their bottle and now can’t find their binky??? Poor little jealous fella.
The dude has the most TDs in a single season with 50…Randy Moss was on the team that year, and he had 23 of them… There were more bombs thrown that year than I can ever remember. You come off very jealous and uneducated when you write stupidity like that. Im a huge Pats fan, but you wont ever find me saying “Peyton Manning sucks….he’s terrible.”

No, he’s actually right. Brady isn’t accurate as the other elite QBs when deep passing. Hasn’t been since Moss left.

but they dont really need him right now… he doesn’t have any special teams value as well…

I just dont see him being productive with any other team but pats…hope to see him back with pats if a WR/TE gets hurt…

And he’s not on the Patriots right now because he’s a veteran (so his salary is higher), and between Gronk, Hernandez, Welker, Lloyd, and screen passes to the running backs, there simply aren’t enough passes to go around, plus he can’t contribute on special teams.

He’s a injury insurance for Lloyd, in my opinion (Edelman would take over for Welker), and that’s it.

The guys who aren’t starters (WR3+WR4) are going to need to have special teams value.

This is why Branch isn’t on the roster.

That’s him in a few years. Lol @ Patriot players who are trash playing anywhere else.

he will be back later in the season.

First of all he’s a class act, no arrests, well spoken, very intelligent. Second he is a decent reciver who saw an opportunity to make some money for him and his family, )who can blame him). Third, he is still a smart serviceable receiver who will bring nothing but leadership to a team. I hope the patriots re-sign him.

But Players want to play for the Patriots.

That’s the bottom line.
