A flood is amidst
Yesterday, The Obvious One wrote about Belichick taking a page from Danny Ainge’s play book. Which was actually a page out of Jeremy Jacob’s Play book. Say you are in on every high end free agent to gain buzz with the fans and spin the PR. One problem. Belichick give zero poops about the fans, media, or PR.
These were not fishing expeditions for Bill. He legitimately called about JJ Watt. Offered him his private film room where the two off them could get pants off over stunts and holding the edge. When they said $23 million guaranteed, Bill politely reminded this weasel agent who he was and had Nike hang up the phone. How many 1st rounders for Carson Wentz? The same bitch boy who has acted like a bitch boy for 2 seasons? No thanks. Matt Stafford doesn’t want me?! No, no. Me don’t want Matt Stafford. Enjoy the sunshine you sissy.
If you don’t think the chatter about him and Brady winning his 7th is motivating this man, then you know nothing Jon Snow. But, instead of playing everyone else’s little game Bill is working the channels with the underground cartel he has carefully placed throughout the NFL. The latest news is a Stephon Gilmore trade is all but inevitable. Source. The rumored return is Njoku from Cleveland. So, unwilling to give an injured Gilmore top end money, need a reliable passing catching TE? Boom. I got a guy in Cleveland.
Jeff Howe has reported the Patriots have been heavily scouting the top 5 QBs in the draft this year. For due diligence. Sure Jeff. You call it due diligence, I call it bending over 31 teams in the wake of a draft take over. OH, what’s that? Every single opt out is coming back including All Pro Donte Hightower to single handedly sure up the front seven? Still leaving tens of Millions in cap space to fill the gaps on the roster? Oh and Jimmy G is staying in San Francisco is he? Let me make a couple calls.
All I am saying is you can feel the tide shifting as the start of the season is afoot. Grab a floaty because the Bill Belichick flood is coming on strong.
*** UPDATE. Kyle Van Noy will be released from the Dolphins after 1 year and a 4 year $54 million dollar contract signed. Bill loves nothing more than other teams paying for his players. Get your knickers ready. Flood’s started.
Disclaimer: If he signs back Cam Newton, Belichick is dead to me.
