Yeah, but future hall-of-famer versus Alex Smith. I just like the fact that not a few days before, they were all "nope, we're not getting rid of him. Stop asking".
Maybe Jerry Jones should read this. Paints a good picture of when he went wrong.

Could it be that, expecting his looming end, Al Davis started channeling his soul into Jerry Jones at some point and is now actually inhabiting his soul in a futile attempt to keep being in charge of a football team and making crappy decisions beyond his naturel life span? My guess is if this is so he's probably even right now looking to start moving his soul on to a new place, cause Jerry is getting on in years too. Let's just watch out for owners that suddenly start spending their draftpicks on speedy guys taken way above their draft value
Brady signed an extension for 3 years / 9 mill
http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/...cording-source
Most selfless contract ever? Dude halved his own salary when he could have legitimately asked for a raise.
I believe that the front office wanted to let him walk because his price tag would have been too high. This contract extension may force them to reconsider.
Brilliant move IMO. Brady was lobbying hard for Welker to come back in interviews after the AFC Championship loss.
Well Brady just went up another notch in my respect for him, that is classy. Shows how damn eager he is to get another ring too.
I think the money will indeed be used to sign Welker. I was pretty much thinking the front office would let him walk cause old + probably expensive, but if this keeps him in the house, that's cool. Welker is my 3rd favourite Pat, after Brady and Wilfork. I still remember his press conference a few years ago, with all the feet references whne that Rex Ryan story about the foot fetish had come out, that was pretty damn funny.
Should let them keep Aqib Talib too, and they'd still have like 10-15 mill in cap space to sign (hopefully defensive) free agents. Big W for a team that was already pretty damn good.
Eli should take an even bigger pay cut and outdo him again
That would be awesome if this starts a competitive streak of starting QBs taking less and less money just to outdo each other.
Watch Flacco be like "fuck it, I'm better than Brady, give me 7 mill a year!"
Flacco doesn't have Brady's endorsement money
So what? He's better than Brady. He should take less money.
I'm still pretty sure he's not sweatin' the cash. I know, I know, if you have money, you want more. But these people can't possibly say they NEED the money. But there's nothing wrong with wanting more, IF your organization can handle the payment. Players preach about wanting rings, some of them go far and above to do it.
Surprised no one has mentioned the supposed price for the Alex Smith trade.
Looks like the Chiefs gave up a 2nd round pick this year and a conditional pick next year. Read that it's no lower than a 3rd rounder but could also be a 2nd rounder (assuming depending on his performance).
Yikes. That seems crazy expensive for a guy that looked like he could potentially get cut. lol
34th overall pick is one that can get swapped, along with something else, to move into the back end of the first round pretty easily, so either the 49ers could jump up to grab somebody at the end of the round, or take their time and make a good pick near the beginning of day 2
and this is indicative of the lack of talent teams are seeing in this draft, they'd rather have the 2005 #1 overall than spend the 2013 #1 overall on a QB
it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to spend your #1 and #2 picks on the QB position when you have as many needs as KC, so if they go through with this trade I don't really know who they'll tab at #1, Joekel?
