The Jets aren't the only ones after Tom Brady's scalp. So is Mother Nature.

And with no offensive line to protect the New England Patriots quarterback from failing follicles, Brady has reportedly consulted a hair transplant specialist to keep his mane - and matinee idol image - intact.

Reports that Brady has been sacked by vanity - and the demands of supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen - are likely to be fresh meat for rabid Jets fans eager to beat the Patriots next Monday.

Still, there's at least one New Yorker rooting for the balding Brady - if not his team.

We'll call him Bob.

"Get it done," the 67-year-old salesman, who got his hair transplant a decade ago, advised the NFLer. "You will look better. You will feel better."

Dr. Robert Bernstein restored Bob's hair. The doc's customers swear only their hairdressers know for sure they had it done.

Asked how Brady might fare, Bernstein said that judging by recent photos, it appears "he has good growth" and enough hair for a successful transplant.

The transplanted hair, which comes from the back and sides of the patient's pate, "starts growing in 10 weeks and takes a year for the transplant to be mature," he said.

Reporters from the National Enquirer tracked Brady to the offices of Dr. Robert Leonard, a hair transplant specialist in Rhode Island who has worked on the noggins of several Boston Bruins.

The weekly says Brady went there on orders from the missus.

"Gisele wants to maintain that perfect-couple image - the handsome quarterback with a head full of hair and the stunning model with her own long flowing locks," the Enquirer reported.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

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

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
