Methinks just maybe Brady and Talib have cushy jobs waiting for them at Dad’s auto dealership when they retire.

And, the Pats will be fine hater they have plenty of talent behind Brady you must not know much about Boston teams other than the fact that you just don’t like them like the rest if the haters on here. Go to bed you don’t know what your talking about your just hating haha.

To predict a free agent signing a yr in advance is ridiculous. A thousand things can happen with cap space, injuries, finding gems in the draft or UFA etc.

No one is saying Talib is DSanders, but because he was one thing in TB, doesn’t mean he’ll be the same in NE, with different coaches, a different system, a better chance to win and playing for a contract. Yes, Dennard may have been a 2nd rnd pick, but Talib was a 1rst with NFL experience. To say they’re comparable is silly.

All I know is the Pats did the same thing with Talib they did with TLaw, their last big, physical corner. Put him on an island against the 2nd receiver and double the #1. Balti couldn’t move the ball in the AFC Championship game when Talib was in there.

Lastly, tagging a guy with baggage is what you WANT to do, instead of signing long term for guaranteed money. I thought the Pats should have done it this yr, but they correctly gauged the market and got him cheaper. Hope that clears things up for you.

If what they did last year was “starting to suck,” and all the players they’ve signed so far are pretty solid and they’re not finished plus the draft. So they’re only getting better not worse sorry hater.

Oh and the Celtics are playing pretty well, and they aren’t going anywhere, same with the Sox they have a pretty good team, and a solid group of prospects as well as a bunch of money. Sorry hater you have no idea what your talking about I guess your just like the rest of the haters who have no idea what they’re talking about.

How about it. The dominoes started falling in that game when he went out.

Talib will regret not signing with the greatest team in NFL history, the Redskins. Best players, best coaches, best history, best stadium, best record, best owner. HTTR.

***********************************************

I think you two should meet after 8th period in the school yard and fight it out.

Roeth7 must be pissed because the ever so ill-logical one has stolen his routine. At least Roeth7 can claim to be the original village idiot.
Logical is just an impersonator

@ampats: The franchise tag option is very real and would have to at least be considered by the Patriots if Talib has a strong season. But would you really want to tag Talib with his history? Remember, outside of his fistfight at the rookie symposium with a teammate, Talib isn’t a problem in the locker room. He generally practices and plays hard, the issue is off the field. I defended him while 90% of the posters on this site dogged the man during his gun case. When looking at the facts, Talib may have went to an extreme to protect his sister, but due to his past, he didn’t get the benefit of the doubt, which I guess is somewhat fair. The franchise number for a corner is rather high, and I just have a gut feeling the Redskins will wait until they have a full salary cap to work with next season to make a large offer.

It’s honestly too early to tell. With the Ravens gutting their roster to a certain degree, I’m not sure if they will be a real threat to repeat. Talib matches up well with a player like Boldin, but he’ll have trouble against a Mike Wallace and possibly Stevie Johnson, both in the Pats division. Being a taller and more physical corner, Talib excels against bigger receivers such as Boldin, and while he is a great value signing for only five million, I think the ongoing status of Alfonzo Dennard will be equally if not more important of a development to watch than the Talib signing.

They can now pivot towards trying to find a deep WR to open up their offense, some OL help, and some DL depth.

all good points except that if Talib has a great season,he can be franchised if the Pats choose to do so. They control his destiny for the next two seasons

I’m a Pats fan and none of that sounds unreasonable to me. That’s part of why I like the 1 year aspect for my team as much as it’s good for Talib also.

It could also be hedging for how long the Pats might be without Dennard (who yes is their best CB as far as last year). His sentencing is in April.

—————–

The league reserves the right to do so if someone is arrested like he was the year before the draft.

But it was his first offense and I doubt he’s going to get more than a game or 2 suspension at this point, if that. It wasn’t like he set out from home with the idea of punching a cop, he got caught up in the heat of the moment when an altercation broke out.

I think its unlikely he’ll get either jail time or a long suspension.

Lock him up for gods sake!

It’s a ‘prove it’ deal for Talib. Stay out of trouble, stay away from the cabbies, guns, Adderal and rookie symposiums and cut down on being torched while still being a ballhawk and he’ll get his money.

Pats fans, these are the facts. Thumbs down all day if you have to, but numbers don’t lie. Aside from their safeties, the Bucs currently have a woeful secondary. Talib was their best corner, but that doesn’t make him elite, just as it doesn’t make him elite because he’s the best corner on the Pats, another team weak in the secondary. Alfonzo Dennard is nearly as good a player as Talib for a fraction of the price.

I expect most Pats fans to disregard all I’ve typed above, but with a full season of Talib you’ll soon experience what Bucs fans have witnessed for several years; a knack to intercept, a tendency to get roasted by his man, and having your heart skip a beat anytime Talib is mentioned in the mainstream news outlets. And don’t forget about the injuries. Good luck next season and lets say we all meet here next year to repeat this verbatim to logicalvoices when Talib signs with Washington.

they said tom redid his deal in anticipation of welker coming back

Agree with joesixpack, well spent pick.

On a 4th and 4 with the game on the line Brady was either unable or unwilling to outrun a 300+ lb nose tackle. Tell me that age is irrelevant.

If you look at QB’s in their mid to late 30′s, historically their skills don’t decline gradually. For a while they don’t decline much at all, and then they fall off a cliff. I certainly haven’t been saying this since 2005, but his day is soon to come. Just sayin’ that the Pats are wise to go ‘all in’ in the next year or two.
