For a team like Houston? No.

For a team like New England....sure....but they'll never do it.

Seems like the chiefs got chester mcglockton by making him an ofer and oakland declined to match it. I don't remember what they had to give.

Okay, lets say a team DID pull the trigger - they pay 2 firsts, and then pay the guy....

...for the one, franchise-year deal? And then he's a FA again?

Why wouldn't they when they have a HOFer in the twilight of his career and a gamebreaker like Dez is on the table? Hell Hoodie is probably going to follow Brady out the door anyway.

Because they would be ready to give him a new deal before the season.

Can't see Bryant co-existing with Bryant. He did with Moss but I think Bryant is different.

No. You have to negotiate the long term deal. then you give up the picks.

It makes me sick even typing this, but if I'm Indy I do it in a heartbeat.

He can't get along with himself? :)

Obviously you meant Brady, and I suppose the character issues don't fit with the Patriot Way. Which is good because I'd probably swear off football if it happened.

That would make me swear off football too. :#

Would be tough considering they're gonna have to pay luck soon though.

Exclusive rights tag. They will use it.

McGlockton was a step below the franchise tag. We had to give up a second round pick if I remember right.

It's not like they'd be the first team to pay two superstars.

Christ, we had one of the worst passing offenses in the league and have the 10th highest paid QB and 4th highest paid WR.

They don't have a single player making more than $9M a season, and their four highest paid players are locked up until 2017, 2018 and 2019.

And they have nearly $40M in cap space and Cory Redding is their only quality FA this season. They have a lot of guys locked up for the long term.
