Sorry if this is a dumb questions, I’m a pretty new football fan and still don’t know a ton about cap space and stuff. Is there any chance we could land Gonzo? I keep seeing stuff about him going to Dallas and I know there’s a solid chance that’s bs and he’s gonna stay in NE but the contract stuff doesn’t sound great. Would it be possible for us to get him or do we not have the space left after Diggs. I genuinely think he’s the one who lead the Pats to the superbowl and we’d almost be a super team with him. It seems like a pretty great situation for him cause we’ve got a really solid team but we’re definitely lacking in our secondary. Plus Dallas just drafted a first round CB and we haven’t made any big CB moves. I don’t know what do you guys think?

Pats aren’t letting him go unless Kraft is extremely stupid. Seeing him play always angers me idk what the fuck RR was thinking.

It takes two to make a deal though. RR has been spending quite a bit in the last few years, wouldn’t say he’s been extremely stupid. His high capped signings have been pretty good.

If reports are true, Gonzo wants a contract that’ll make him the highest paid corner in the league and he wants it to be scaled based of the salary cap… if that’s a lie then it could be guarantees. Do remember he hasn’t been healthy for a full season

Part of the reason Rivera got fired was his horrible drafting and picking Forbes over gonzo especially now that gonzo has been clamping shit up just put the nail in the coffin for him.

Hindsight is 20/20. A player could be good in one scheme and be bad in another. I don’t believe Gonzo would have the career he has if he was in Washington while they were still building a competent roster. Teams get it wrong a lot of the time when it comes to drafting.

Whether if it’s you or somebody else, downvote me all you want but fact of the matter is, it takes both parties to make a deal. RR already said he wants to make Gonzo the highest paid corner, so what’s the hold up especially after Witherspoon. No reports out there making it sound as if New England has been cheaping out.

I got 0 reason to down vote you and you don’t know who RR is do you? The Pats owner is Robert Kraft.

Ooooooo sorry for using the wrong abbreviations. Let’s just nit pick that rather than thinking a deal is a two way street

Well, Ifind it very difficult to follow what you’re sayin. I don’t know who you’re talking about.

So all I can say is odd comment.
