Patriots Have Released DE Kony Ealy - Claimed By NYJ

It's completely hysterical that the national reaction to the trade was Belichick robbing the hell out of Gettleman when it was clear as day that if we didn't trade him we would've released him anyways. Gettlemagic for moving up into the 2nd and ensuring we got Moton.

Logic tells me because he was release and we can sign him for next to nothing and continue to develope him keeping what we already received from the pats it's a no brainer to bring him back under these conditions but what do I know..

We were going to cut him anyways. We were giving up on waiting for him to develop and just cutting ties early. Probably also tired of him being a locker room cancer to a degree without a good work effort and giving up on plays, etc. Not sure we want that back, and it was likely a Rivera move. But I suppose there's a better chance of us bringing him back since DG (the one who traded him) isn't here and Hurney is.

Landry's overrated, but the other guys are fair points.

For us, he would've been worth it had we won SB50. But then again, he was never good long term, so I'd say he's a bust.

But Gettleman was the one who first realized that and fleeced Bellicheck. Very few people have ever done that.

Both Gettleman and Hurney f*ckd up on their chances to take care of the 2nd WR position. 

Both guys couldn't have had the draft go any better for them and they pissed it away. 

Hurney with his Amini over Alshon pick in the 2nd round and then Gettleman with his Ealy pick. Both of these aren't "hindsight is 20/20" cases either. These both should have been no brainers that would've finally given us that 2nd WR.

Just going to throw this out there:

Would you rather have Horton or Ealy?

When we cut Horton we held onto Ealy. We've cut Horton twice if I remember correctly. Ealy would be cheap, Peppers could help, Ealy obviously has some talent. 

I'm not advocating...just throwing it out there...well because...Huddle

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
