brady said he wants to play like 4-5 more years. hoyer was supposed to be included in the trade for jimmy g, but including him would negate some type of pick compensation. i don't really know the details but the patriots are going to sign hoyer. i think the 49ers already released him.
everything you hear out of new england from this point on is likely to paint jimmy g in a negative light, and make the new england belichiks look good. there's always a smear campaign after trades happen in boston.
- they'll tell you that jimmy wanted to play and couldn't wait to fly to SF (obviously who wouldn't want to go be the franchise guy right now?).
- they'll tell you the pats and jimmy couldn't meet on a contract extension because jimmy shot down every number.
- they'll tell you jimmy has no heart and he's a bitch for not fighting through the same injury that jamies winston just suffered and missed like what, 1-2 weeks? jimmy missed a month. mind you, this was during brady's 4-game suspension. but fuck it man, why risk your health and chance at a massive pay day to only become a backup once brady is back?
this all started at the nfl draft. and the patriots FUCKED UP. but, they at least try to break even (hint: dallas really sucks at this "general managing" aspect of running a team). all those moves they made trading draft picks for duds like dwayne allen and kony ealy (i thought ealy was a steal, but i'm surprised he sucked in NE but he's playing better with the jets). so the rumors were MULTIPLE picks for jimmy g. whether that's all bullshit or not, i think jimmy's value was higher then because he would've been going into training camp with his new team, instead of now learning a new offense mid-season. so that opportunity to maximize his value came and went. the pats didn't get anything for him and sat on him in case brady went down. and instead, they shipped off jacoby brissett for a very fast wide receiver/returner philip dorsett. the pats WR's are dropping like flies so he may get a chance to play more.
and now there's still rumors that the pats are going to trade the 2nd rounder they got for jimmy PLUS malcom butler for possibly another player. and they're saying the pats would do it for a defensive lineman or linebacker.
