I sincerely hope they are a disaster. It would be epic to see that franchise collapse.

I doubt they will, although they may still draft one to prepare for the future. Clearly they are not all-in on Cam.

I didn’t mean as far as long term but there’s been chatter cam wouldn’t even start this year.

That would be extremely interesting. I'd prefer to see him not start so I don't have to openly root against him. My love for Cam is completely outdone by my hatred for all things New England.

I didn’t phrase it right. These are win now moves the Patriots are making. I don’t see them trotting a rookie out there. Could be wrong but it doesn’t seem likely. Now if they trade or sign another qb then it could be different. But I think they’re rolling with Cam and getting these weapons for him. Two tight end sets.

49ers were previously said to be looking at Bridgewater, but...

Dalton fits either scheme.

Dalton is an exceptional backup. Seems ideal for the 49ers. Perhaps he gets scooped by the Bears and then the 49ers really want Bridgewater. That would be pretty sweet.

Flipside, i.e. the 49ers get Dalton and the Bears take an interest in Bridgewater, could also be true.

I think they still draft a rookie, but the moves seem like they’re trying to give Cam a legit shot. I don’t think those FAs come for an unknown rookie either.

I agree. I have this weird feeling they’re gonna draft Lance to learn under Cam for a season. I obviously hope we draft him before the Patriots get the chance.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
