re: Patriots have to make a decision between Tom Brady and Jimmy G after 2017

quote:

Give Jimmy G a incentive laden contact if he'll accept knowing that he will succeed under BB, if not trade him. They could also tag him but that's costly for a backup

If he hits the open market, some team will go nuts and pay him elite starter money. No reason for him to kick the can down the road again. He's gotta cash in at some point.

If they really believe that much in jimmy g, the better play would be to convince Brady to take another cut. Kraft could take care of him when he retires. Even then, I don't know if the numbers work. If Brady has a great year and shows no signs of wear, I think they let Jimmy walk.
