Uh, it’s a joke 83; of course he’s not as good as Tom Brady.

Now that the high-profile players who teams traditionally overpay for are off the board, the Patriots will now begin to make their moves. Yes, Chung and Welker are gone, but there hasn’t been much news about the other free agents – Vollmer, Talib, Edelman or Arrington. They are also increasing the number of free agents from other teams who are visiting Gillette. Furthermore, Amandola is not exactly chopped liver as a receiver.

So, lets wait until it all plays out and see who else they sign and draft before passing judgement on the most consistently successful team in the NFL over the past decade.

WW has the two most talented downfield WRs with him he’s ever had. I think that makes his job easier than it was before. I doubt he gets 100 catches. He’ll still be great at what he does, but the numbers likely won’t be there.

TB knows that when his time is up, he’ll be gone too. I hope he gets to go out on his own terms, and gracefully (before he’s a shell of himself).

And yet the legend of Tammy Brady continues. Mystifying.

Now we will see how good Cindy is without Welker and how good Welker is without Brady. My money is on the tough SOG from Texas. I am pretty sure that Peyton will go out of his way to pass to Welker a 100 times in the game with New England.

Something everyone on here has overlooked is all of these teams signing these “BIG” free agents to big $$$ are going to be hard hit over the next couple of years, because the SALARY CAP isn’t moving up until 2016.

I have a feeling Bill and the coaching staff are planning for this now.

do you use drugs daily.. almost every post you do is.. HTTR.. or all other teams suck except the deadskins… come on man!!

You’re an idiot. They paid Welker, an undrafted FA, 9.5 million last year and several millions the years before. He’s rich for life and has the Pats to thank for it. Wish the company I work for would “throw me away” in the same manner.

- They duped Brady, who thought he was restructuring his deal in part to make room for re-signing Welker;

- They left Welker standing at the alter, rather than tell him in advance they had no intention of signing him;

- They totally pissed off their fan base;

- They lost the good will they had within and without the organization as a team that “knows what they’re doing.”

I like the Patriots and think they are (or at least have been) one of the best run franchises in the NFL. But, coming after some more recent free-agency fiascos and disappointing finishes, there is more doubt about the Patriots today than at anytime in the past several years.

His camp messed up and didn’t include any special language that required the Patriots to consume 90-95% of their allotted cap space every year of the deal…or something like that.

This will be interesting and give them a little time Brady. Your camp messed up a little though. Welker seems like a huge loss, but you will like your new toy. The threats and “sources close to” talk is good though; it lets the team know that you aren’t playing and you have that right. But still, let it play out a little more first. I wouldn’t be too reactionary here given their track record Tom.

As a New England resident, let me tell you that Tom Brady is the most beloved sports figure in the area’s history. Moreso than Bobby Orr, Larry Bird, Carl Yastrzemski, Doug Flutie- anyone.

If Brady holds out in two years and points out that he’s making 1/4 of what the highest paid QB in the league is getting, trust me when I tell you that the team will have no choice other than to restructure his deal and give him a significant raise.
