[Deuce]

Can we write him a contract that doesn't pay him until June first?

I'm sure we could sign him to a cheap deal with a June 1st roster bonus, but would he take that?

I'll bet NE gets him.

I'll bet NE gets him.

They tried before.

That's a lot.

I'd rather Trubisky than Garoppolo.

 

[NoDak]

That's a lot.

And this is why Bill Polian is a FORMER NFL executive. There is no way in hell I'd give that much up for Garoppolo. Shit, I don't think I'd want to give up just the #12.

Time to sit on the beach, sipping drinks for the duration, Bill.

 

[Angrymesscan]

Is Polian on the Pats payroll?

Can't remember if it was posted here, but Polian also said yesterday that no athlete has ever succeeded at the NFL level that has tested positive for pot at the Combine.

That's probably a small sample size, isn't it?

Warren Sapp and Randy Moss spring to mind. His point wasn't specifically about the Combine but more about players succeeded that have failed a test prior to being drafted. It was a dumb statement to make.

Sapp

Justin Houston and Percy Harvin, too.

Yeah, he is retarded. Warren Sapp and Randy Moss both failed pre-draft test and their careers turned out all right. And there are a handful of other players who followed that same path, including Justin Houstin, Telvin Smith, Percy Harvin and Timmy Jernigan.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

It's not really. A few high round guys fail it every year.

Aqib Talib as well. Mario Manningham failed as well that year but I guess you could argue his career wasn't great. He was pretty good with the Giants though.

I'll give him this: It is definitely wouldn't be out of character for the Browns

This is just retarded. The Patriots sure know how to trick the shit out of people. Garappolo was a second round talent in the draft. He played very little in the NFL and during the brief period of time he showed he was fragile.

And now suddenly he is worth a 1st, 2nd, 2nd and third round pick? Bill Polian has lost his god damn mind. Which doesn't surprise me, he says some pretty whacked out incorrect stuff.
