I made this prediction elsewhere:
1. Bill retires.
2. Josh gets moved up.
3. Brady stays IF they can get a long receiver.
We’ll see.
They HAD the best on in football (at least over the past 2-4 years) -- AB -- and pissed him away.
They don’t need a “long” receiver. The patriots were successful with quick, smart, fast feet, first down machines and great physical tight ends....though Chris Hogan was a fabulous deep threat, he alo could run precise routes to get crucial 1st downs. Think back on those playoff games how clutch Danny Amendola was. He jept the pressure off of Edelman....and with Hogan in there they were unstoppable. They gave thos guys up for guys who simply aren’t Patriot type receivers. They should have kept those guys and gone after a quick physical tight end like the rest of the good teams are doing. Tight ends are so much more valuable than wideouts.
