Could the Patriots trade Tom Brady in the offseason?
The majority of people who read the title of this post probably uttered one of two things to themselves:
1) “What? Stop trying to stir the pot by throwing crap against the wall in efforts to see if it sticks. Moron…”
OR…
2) “You don’t part ways with a three-time Super Bowl champion just because Matt Cassel has had one decent season. Moron…”
For those of you that fit into one of the above categories, I don’t blame you for having those thoughts – or calling me a moron. But just take a moment and think about the situation for a second, because the idea isn’t that far-fetched.
There currently is no timetable set for Brady’s return after having season-ending knee surgery earlier this year. He might not even be ready to play at the start of next season, which leaves the Patriots in a tough predicament. Do they allow Cassel to leave via free agency next offseason and risk going into 2009 with hopes Brady is ready to play? Or do they allow Cassel to walk, sign a veteran who’ll play for the minimum and hold Brady’s spot until he’s ready to start again?
Or do they sign a much younger (and now experienced) Matt Cassel, trade Brady for multiple draft picks (which could be used to get younger on defense) and head into a new era with a new quarterback? Brady is 32 and while guys like Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia have proven that quarterbacks can still be highly efficient past their 35th birthday, there’s no guarantee that Tom will ever be as effective as he was before the knee surgery.
Whether the Patriots or their fan base want to admit it, the team faces major questions this offseason. And while it might be ludicrous to think about parting ways with a Super Bowl MVP quarterback, Cassel has proven that he can step into Bill Belichick’s offensive system and succeed.
Comment fodder: You’re in charge of the Patriots next offseason. Do you allow Cassel to walk and remain loyal to the man that got you multiple titles this decade? Or in the wake of Brady’s season-ending injury, would you start preparing for the future with Cassel?
I’ve had the same thought myself. Although Cassel did not take the field by storm as Brady did when he took over for Bledsoe, he has steadily improved throughout the season. He is also definitely more mobile than Brady ever was or ever will be. I am concerned about Brady’s various injuries, and although he has played through most of them, I do wonder what physical condition he will be in when he returns. I would hate to see Brady go, and it’s unfortunate the way the timing goes that they will have to make a decision about Cassel one way or another when the season is over. If we had one more year to hold onto both of them, it would be ideal. I guess the playoffs, and hopefully the Super Bowl, may be the deciding factor. I have confidence for the next season (as I did this season), not matter who is starting. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses.
I think this is a completely valid topic for discussion. Although Tom Brady has been a fantastic quarterback throughout his career for the Pats, I don’t think he is going to come back next season at 100% after this injury. Working as a physical therapist, I have seen people who never jog or run properly after this surgery, nevermind play pro football. He is not going to be as confident or as mobile as he was before the injury, not to mention the fact that although Brady still has plenty of playing years left in him, Cassel has more. I would not put it past Belichick to surprise us all and choose to keep Cassel. Don’t get me wrong, I would never have imagined myself saying this when I saw Brady go down in week one, but Cassel has been a surprisingly strong quarterback.
This is a brilliant Idea look at donavan for example he hasn’t been the same since all his injuries. Plus Brady has never been a mobile QB. While Cassel brins a decent running attack and a percision passer. He is ranked 6th in passing yards and 4th in rushing yards of all QB’s dont llet him go
This is not a valid topic for discussion since Tom Brady is a QB that comes once in a generation. When he came in for Bledsoe he had Troy Brown and Dave Patten for top receivers and a crap O-Line. Matt Cassell has an amazing receiving corps with Randy Moss and Wes Welker and a pretty good O-Line. So obviously Cassell is in a much better situation than Brady and they both have similar numbers when they both came in to replace the starting QB. So trading Matt Cassell would be fifty times more intelligent than trading Brady.
Fair enough Bob, but the Pats would have to tag Cassel first and then trade him since he’s set to become a free agent. Maybe that’s what you meant, but I just wanted to throw that out there as part of the hurdle that the Pats will face.
Are you people kidding me. This is dumber than the Packers letting Brett Favre go. Oh yeah, how are the Packers doing with there stud quarterback this year. Great move. I am a Matt Cassel fan and he will get a lot of money but you don’t lose your position due to injury. Cassel has not beat a good defense yet. Brady makes a living doing that. The only reason Mcnabb is not as good is because he needs his legs to win. Brady needs his arm and head. Case closed.
“Oh yeah, how are the Packers doing with there stud quarterback this year.”
The Packers have much bigger problems than their QB.
Trading Brady is a legitimate option.
But what Brady did last year was make the entire team better. Last year the team wasn’t that good. There defense was old. But when you have Brady or Favre out there they score you a lot of points and cover up any weakness you have. Favre could have taken the Packers to the playoffs this year and Brady would have wrapped up at least the division if not home field. Great quarterbacks cover up teams weaknesses
I don’t have the time for this argument again. Here’s my take.
The bottom line is that Favre wasn’t able to mask the Packers’ weaknesses two and three years ago when they went 4-12 and 8-8, so why would he be able to suddenly help the Packer run defense, which is one of the worst in the league? I don’t think Green Bay goes to the playoffs with Favre under center, but that is a debate for another thread.
Football is a team game.
The fact is that Matt Cassel has developed to the point of being a completely dominating quarterback and leader in 15 games. It took “Tom Terrific” many years to develop the comfort and confidence that Matt has developed in less than a season. With the exception of one game (Steelers), where Matt looked uncomfortable at times, as was true with the rest of the Pats in that game, he has been the best quarterback in the NFL. Analyists don’t want to say it, because most of them were critical of him early in the year. But if you look at the last 6 games, statistically or as a leader, he has been the most dominating quarterback in the NFL, and comparable to the Tom Whatshisname of last season. All this with 15 games of experience…since high school. Imagine how he will look after a couple of seasons under his belt?
My wife had the same knee surgery as Brady three years ago, and she still cannot play tennis or even golf. Even she says it will be years of rehabilitation for Tom to move comfortably again, if ever.
Bill made a great dicision back in 2002 to trade older Bledsoe and keep the young Brady. It is my hope that he will make a great dicision again.
You must keep Cassel. And trade Tom Brady.
You just made my point for me. Look at last years 18-0 team. They had an old defense, no running game,and a cheating violation. Yet through all of that Brady kept putting points on the board and making the opposing offenses one dimensional. You are right about Favre because he was erratic at times but Brady is consistent and doesn’t make mistakes. Can you guarantee that Cassel for the next 5 or 6 years can do the exact same thing. Because I can’t. When Brady got hurt we immediately saw the flaws theat we didn’t see last year.
Does knee surgery effect your brain
Based upon Matt’s development in less than a season, I think he is capable, with a similar offensive supporting cast, put up 30-45 points frequently. Tom did not play defense, the leadership last year on that side of the ball came from veterans like Seau, Harrison, and Bruschi. The Pats of last year did not have the injuries of this year. Matt has high school experience, more injuries than most NFL teams have in a decade, AND he is still putting up huge numbers on the scoreboard. Tom had none of those issues last year.
“You just made my point for me.”
No, I didn’t. You were comparing Brady and Favre and saying that they both can make up for major problems that their teams have.
You clarified/changed your point by separating Brady and Favre and saying that Brady is able to do that while Favre is too erratic. That’s a completely different point. I don’t necessarily agree, but I’m not going to argue about it.
There defense was good last year because the opposing offenses were one dimensional. That is a defenses best friend. During the Super Bowl The Pats couldn’t score points. Look what happened. There defense couldn’t tackle or cover anybody. They were exposed
Who’s defense are you talking about?
But Favre did do that last year. There team wasn’t that good. But once Favre got a little more consistent they won more games. Quarterback is the most important position in sports. it controls the entire team.
The Packers are third in points scored this year. Last year, they were second.
I was talking about the Pats defense replying to John Paulsen
Go ahead and trade Brady. But don’t look at me when it is the biggest mistake they will ever make
Cassel gets beaten by good defenses. Like the Colts or the Steelers. Brady does not
Good debate. I say trade Brady and stock up on the defense. It’s old and slow, and the Pats are the best at operating a salary cap. Lots of QB’s can fit into The Hoodies offensive system. You are blessed if you become the N E Quaterback …… just ask Brady.
Did Brady make the Patriots or did the Patriots make Brady? He doesn’t have an overpowering arm or even decent wheels, but he’s extremely accurate. Also, he always seems to be throwing to an open receiver — is that because he’s so good at reading the defense and making the proper throw or does Belicheat’s scheme create great opportunities? Or is it a combination of the two?
How does Cassel compare in these areas?
These are the questions Belicheat and Co. have to answer this offseason.
Well, hopefully we will see the Pats in the playoffs so we can see how Cassel plays in a playoff atmosphere. Brady has shown that he has the intangibles to make the clutch play under the immense pressure. That being said, from a business perspective, it would be best to trade Brady now so that you might completely overhaul the defense. Dominant defense wins championships. Matt Cassel is a definite downgrade, but at the same time he is pretty much proven that he can make plays when he needs to and can manage this offense well. Brady is my favorite player, but for the Pats I think trading him now would give them the best chances of winning superbowls in the near future. Unfortunately we just don’t know what Brady will be like in the future. It sucks.
Please don’t refer to the best coach in football as Belicheat. He’s earned better than that. Brady is not very mobile but he is the smartest QB in football. Put him in any other system and he will make any team significantly better.
Wouldn’t it be better to franchise and trade Cassel since he is younger and more mobile. You might get more out of him.
My god some people are stupid about football. Yes obviously brady was the problem all along, lets get rid of him and keep a guy that might tank next year like Derek Anderson did. Brady has been through wars, beaten great teams. Cassel has beaten teams he should have beaten and looked horrible against good teams. Yeah go ahead and trade him, but don’t cry to me when brady steps foot on foxboro in a jets uniform and beats the pats. Good luck. Damn pats fans are idiots.
Unanimous – He was caught cheating and was completely unrepentant about it, so he has more than earned that nickname.
John – I don’t think anyone was saying that Brady was “the problem all along.”
Unanimous…I have been reading, or well, skimming your posts, and you seem to be saying that last years defense was horrible and brady made up for it. how is this years defense any younger? or less horrible? we just signed seau for crying out loud. that’s no youth movement. and what about the injuries that have plagued the whole team, let alone the defense. it seems like every game at least two guys get carted off the field. brady is by no means some washed-up bum, but you can’t go throwing out the “brady had a worse team” comparison. if anything, cassel is working with a worse team…especially on defense. we’re missing a pro-bowl corner in asante “i can’t make a pick in the superbowl” samuel, and it’s not like deltha oneal was a solid pick-up. it sucks to think about, but signing cassel, and trading tom would give the pats a pretty good chance to beef up the secondary, and get younger throughout on defense. oh yeah, and at quarterback.
HOW ABOUT THIS FOR THOUGHT.. MAYBE NEITHER OF THEM ARE AN ABOVE AVERAGE QB AND BILLICHEAT HAS A GOOD RUN N SHOOT SYSTEM (EG. ANDRE WARE IN COLLEGE). I THINK THEY SHOULD TRADE TOM BRADY AND LET HIM PLAY FOR THE RAIDERS. HE’LL SHOW EVERYONE HES A SYSTEM QB, AND LOSE ANY CHANCE OF GOING INTO THE HOF. HE’LL FLOP IN A CRAP SYSTEM, WHILE CASSEL EXCELS AND PPL WILL REALIZE THAT PEYTON MANNING HAS BEEN BETTER THAN TOM BRADY THIS WHOLE TIME. BTW, TOM HAD 50 TDS THROWING OVER 100 MORE TIME THAN PEYTON DID WHEN HE THREW 4
ummm put almost any quaterback in the NFl as patriots quaterback and i wouldnt be surprised if if they where as good or better than Cassels. As for Favre Rodgers and Favre have similar stats and it is a team sport i dont remember seing favre stuff the run last season since they cant this season.
I think they should keep BRADY
John Paulsen- that was last year. Can we not live in the past because you are a hater. He’s the best coach in football. Anyways, when you trade Brady you are ultimately saying Cassel is better than Brady. Are you willing to do that. Favre didn’t stop the run last year. None of them needed too. When you score a whole bunch of points the other team has to pass. I wouldn’t run the ball down 28 points every game.
Brian, I didn’t say Brady had a worse team. But he made them LOOK great. We all thought that this was the greatest team ever. When the Giants took out Brady, they had a lot of flaws. Lots of points make things easier on your defense. Cassel is good, but he has not done that.
I have just found the site and I will say this….. ryan h… do you have a hard on for the Colts or what? Is this a debate of records vs. rings? There is NO comparison between Brady and Matt C…. the reason is this…. Brady is a SUPERBOWL MVP… how many times did he win it? How many times did JOE MONTANA win the BIG GAME?
Joe was PERFECT in ALL SUPERBOWLS! Brady made 3/4! How many QBs can say that? Not Brett Favre that’s for damn sure and yes I WOULD compare Brady to MONTANA! If NE trades Brady, good luck sucking crap on offense for the next few years!
BTW … “master of the obvious pointed out that the Raiders suck”…. Under Gruden they went to a Superbowl, under Gruden the Bucs WON ONE!!!! If Gruden had Brady, they would win another championship. Hell Montana beat the 49ers on Monday night with a sub-par team. If they trade brady let him be JET!!!!…. AND win a Superbowl. Less than worthy of the HOF my ass!
I like matt cassel alot more than I am The Greatest Tom Brady. and in his first year as a walk on he goes 11-5 and expresses his dissatisfaction at it.he has a winner attitude and the skill to back it up. I say the brady era is over and the casssel era is beginning but i guess im just a sports fan i only suggest i dont get to do it. btw nice kick by cassel today
You are probably right.
THIS IS TO ALL TOM BRADY IS THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS GENERAL CASSEL WAS GOOD BUT YOU DONT PUT IN A PAWN TO DO A GENERALS JOB FOR ALL THAT DOUBT ON TOM BRADY’S KNEE WATCH AND PLEASE DONT BECOME A FAN AGAIN TIME IS TICKING TILL HE RETURNS
They should definitly sign cassell for 3 or 4 years. It would definitly be a lot cheaper than Brady and hes way younger. Send Brady to the cowboys we’ll send ya Romo and Witten and they can be roomates in Mass………Romo what a overated bum.
MATT DID A GREAT JOB. BRADY IS THE ALL TIME #1 QB.THE PATS WERE FUN TO WATCH THS YEAR.I HOPE WE KEEP MATT AND PRAY FOR TOM BRADYS RECOVERY.
Wake up people. This is a business. Belichick, is the NE Patriots, not any one player! Trade Tom (the model) Brady for draft picks and keep Cassel. This is a no brainer! Brady’s going to be 32 with a bum Knee, and he’s a jet setter better fitted for the runway today than a quarterback in the NFL. Also, where do you think Brady’s going to live after he’s done playing. It will not be Boston (remember the Yankees hat?) Dump him and do not shead a tear for him, he’s set for life. Are you?
How about this, trade the one you get the most for. Everyone assumes that will be Brady. After the Pats slap a franchise label on Cassel he is going to be worth a ton and teams looking for a solid QB might pay more for the younger upstart then the broken old MVP. Either way Pats are getting payed.
Tom brady is a great u just don’t trade such a player . All cassel has is potential pray for brady recoverly when he got injured our season ended he is the greatest
Obviously no one would want Cassel over a healthy Brady. But Brady is done and will become the McNabb of New England. Brady was the best but he won’t come back from that injury at 32. NE needs to get value for him before the extent of his injury becomes apparent. They are saying he won’t be back til week 6. NE needs to move now. Cassel is better than the other alternatives. I remember people defending Bledsoe back before Tom took over. Trade him to the NFC.
Trade Brady! He’s a Boston icon! Why, that would be like trading Bobby Orr. Wait a second. Orr was traded. Nevermind.
Hey brady or cassel they need to shape the pats defence if brady traded inreturn draft picks on defence cassel can develop into a world beater given time
pats has failed to up a number of times trade brady get defence draftpicks in return come even the best dancer leaves the floor time 4 cassel
Hey Pats Fans and Pats Haters,
We’re one step closer to trading Tom (the model) Brady. The Pats will franchise Cassel soon and Brady will not play next year. The knee will not be ready. That will give us more than 5 years since the Pats won their last Super Bowl with Brady and he’ll be gone. Most likely to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Brady is the luckiest SOB around and he knows it.
All hail the new leader of the New England Patriots…Matt Cassel. He’ll lead us to the promise land again.
Congrats Big O on the new contract. You know make roughly 14 million less than Matt Cassel!
Hey here is a scenario for you all if brady is truely going to have knee isues. Tom retires and takes the offensive coordinator job vacated by Josh McDaniels for a season while he rehabs. That frees up the money at QB position and gives him a year to get healthy, if that’s an option if not he starts his coaching career. If he’s able to come back 100% in 2010 Cassel moves on if not like I said Brady is OC and Cassel’s his QB not bad.
Brady’s not going to sit on the sidelines coaching when he can make millions being Gisele’s model toy boy.
Let’s accept it everyone. Tom Brady will never make another pass as the Patiots QB. It’s over.
All hail Matt Cassel. Didn’t you all see him play this year??? The Pats are all set.
I guess I have the last word.
Who’s to say what going on with Tom’s knee. Coach BB sure isn’t telling his buisness about his qb’s health, and were only hearing this from media people who 75 percent of the time don’t kno what they are talking about. Peyton had to knee surgeries, missed training camp and pre season, started 3-4 and ended the season 12-4. You don’t trade Tom Brady the same guy who has only lost 27 games in 7 years total and won 101. The guy who has brought you 6 playoffs out of 7. The guy who has gave you 3 sb rings when before him you had none. The same guy who threw 50 tds and only 7 int last year. The guy who ended a game for you 26 of 28. The guy who cost you to put up 589 points. The guy who took you to 18-0(no other qb can say that). The same Tom that cut his own pay so that you could get free agents. The guy who has 2 more sb rings than Peyton who is great, or Farve who is an icon, but only makes 5 million next year without the bounouses when Peyton makes 900+ Thousand a game. If they trade Brady and don’t get me wrong Cassel is good and I love the Pats, that will be a huge mistake, because Brady is only 32 Farve who is 39 has been playing in pain for years. Brady even if he misses next season will become a free agent in 2010. He will be 33 and his knee will be much healthier because he is rich and can afford doctors and trainers who can make that happen. You will have the Jets which will be in need, Tampa who will be missing Garcia by then, Detroit which can rebound like Miami did, #5 could be gone fro the Eagles or traded, Arizona, and several other teams that would love to get him. if the Pats trade him it will hunt them. yes CaSSEL had a great season but wait till he gets under real pressure with the Colts, Chargers, Steelers, Cowboys, Ravens , Philly, even the Giants, and ect or in the playoffs and see what happens. They should let Cassel get his money from another team and build his career, and keep the one who has gotten you where you are. Take this for ex. even though I like Romo he has had way more expectations than Matt. They where the SB pick of 07 band 08. They have yet to get a ring and the team has went into a frenzy. Or even Peyton who is most def in the top 3 with Brady and Montana, who has had awsome seasons but only one ring that took 8 years to get.
No I get the lats word for now lol, and I think he has alot of passes left rather it be with the Ptas or not. Alot of guys recover and do well. Let him start off slow if he has too. Thats what Peyton did and you see what they were playing for last Sat.
And even though Matt had a great season, when Brady first started for Drew back in 01 he took his team to the SB as underdogs dow in The SUPERDOME and di what everyone though he was uncapable of doing. And it will be 4 years since we won our last SB in Feb, we could hav went in 07 but lost the Afc Championship game to the Colts. Then we went on the streak to return to the SB only to loose by 3 points with only 35 sec left on the clock because AS couldn’t hold on to the pick, the defense couldn’t pull down off the sack, Rodney couldn’t stop Plaxico from taking the score, and they couldn’t stop on 3rd down. Now give the defense credit they held them to only 17 points with a scoreless 2nd and 3rd quarter from the Giants. Now if you wanna blame offense blame the Coaches for going for it on 4th and lond instead of kicking that 3point fg. Or the O LINE for not holding there blocks and letting the defense get to Tom. Tom’s ankle was the talk of that game and he wasn’t able to run from the defense as he had previously been able to do to throw the ball, but he would not have had to if he had had time to get the ball in his hand 1st. The Giants won off of a hail mary that they were praying for but in their minds knew they couldn’t pull in but caught. But if you let Tom get healthy I think he can end his career with at least 5 rings. He has 3 now along with being 7 years younger than Brett, and a year behind Peyton.
You’re talking about the past. Tom (the model) Brady is not that kid from 2001 to 2004. His priorities have changed and football is not #1 on the list, and that’s okay. Football is blue collar work with six figure incomes. Jet setters need not apply (Tony Romo take note).
Matt Cassel is the future QB of the New England Patriots. Tom Brady will not take another snap. Bank on it!
I think he will but even though I hate to admit it, it just might not be with da Pats. But I do think if he doesn’t return to New England he will find another team and then he will be able to prove that he might not be as young and mobile but still smart and quick.07 was just here like a little bit ago, I dont think he has changed that much since then. And he was never mobile or able to run that well so that’s nonthin new, I mean most qb’s aren’t
Trey – how much of Brady’s success do you think is a direct result of the Pats’ offensive scheme? It seems very QB friendly.
I have the last word again. Congrats Tom (the model) Brady on your pending nuptials to the number one supermodel in the world. You’re a regular guy. Well…in 2000 you were. Maybe you can get the Pope to marry you. Just give a huge donation to the Church and you might get him. If not, then definitely a Cardinal. That way when you need an annulment in 5 years it will be a lot easier too.
Do the Pats a favor and ask for a trade. We don’t need your drama anymore and we need the draft picks.
Wake up everyone. The Pats rule! Kraft is the best owner and Belichick is the best coach. Pioli is gone and so is the McDaniels.
Just wait until 2010. The Pats will grab Tebow in the second round and Urban Meyer will join the organization too as assistant head coach-Offensive Coordinator. The offensive coordinator postion will go unfilled in 2009. Take on the Tom Brady trade (maybe sooner, mabye later) and the Pats will rule the decade… AGAIN!!!
Well let me first say that Brady is one of the best QB’s of all time. I think he is up there with Joe Montana and will hopefully go into the hall of Fame. Cassel had a great year and played well under the patriots system. I think the patriots owe brady the chance to come back. He gave us three superbowl rings and one of the best seasons a team has ever had. You franchise tag Cassel. If brady does not play next year then you can exercise a trade talk. If he makes it back you give him a shot to earn his job back which he earned. One thing we know about Tom that we can’t say about cassel is Brady is one of the best playoff quarterbacks to play in this league. I guess the hardest thing about this is we can’t have both QB’s. One of them has to go and I think that is the hardest thing to decide. I am glad I don’t have to make that choice. I am hoping and praying that brady will heal quickly and be ready for the 2009 season.
Joey and the rest of the world,
We all know Tom (the model) Brady is one of the best QBs ever, but just look at the facts. He’s going to be 32 with a bad knee. We don’t know if he’s going to be able to start in 2009, or even play next year. We know his apprentice, Cassel, can play!!!
That’s why all of you are fans and not employed by any team in the NFL. Tough, smart decisions have to be made. Brady needs to go and we get the draft picks. Once completed, we immediately retire number 12 and hang it up somewhere in Gillette. Then we move on to another Super Bowl Championship!! Any objections?
Off topic a bit…. in contemplating a trade, how would Brady do with another team? Wouldn’t that be a key factor in deciding if he was one of the best QB’s ever, or are the rings the key to his greatness? Truth be told, the Pats will not trade him unless they get ALOT for him. I wouldn’t even put it past Brady to retire if the rehab doesn’t go as planned. He’s got plenty of money and Superbowls.
What stinks at times about free agency is that you can’t have two really good QB’s aka Montana and Young…. the Niners let Montana go….
It’s a great day!
My sources tell me Brady needs at least two more surgeries on the knee. He will not play next year.

Brady may object. Tom’s a team player who has demonstrated his willingness to sacrifice in order to put a winning team on the field. I believe he will object if he feels he is now being sacrificed.
Belicik may object. One of Belicik’s principle coaching philosophy’s is “do your job.” Coach has seen Brady “do his job” for the past 8 seasons.
Dear patsfan,
I understand your objections, but you’re wrong. This is a business. Tom Brady will not take another snap as the Pats QB. Accept it, but we have what it takes to move on.
We want to win multiple Super Bowls with different QBs and Coaches. Do you understand? It’s the NE fans that drive the wins and the Super Bowl Championships, not the individual players. These players want to come to the Pats because of us, the fans.
We are the New England Patriots. Not Belichick, Brady, Pioli or any of them. As long as the Krafts (thank God for them) have control of this frachise, the NE Pat fans will be okay.
We (the Patriot Fans)give these individuals the keys to the kingdom, and they serve us. We have the power and the Krafts know it. Again, thank God they run this franchise.
I guess I was wrong. Good luck Matt and Mike Vrabel with Pioli in KC. Tom B. you better be ready.
I said it tom brady wouldn’t just go we need him bye matt and mike thanks for the service
