Do you think the Patriots would cut someone like Brady without a clear heir apparent? I understand time marches on but I don't believe they would cut Brady after a relatively successful season no matter what his cap hit is.You guys do realize Tom Brady is going to be 37 years old when the season starts right? Same time the 49ers moved on from Montana, Packers moved on from Favre, Denver moved on from Elway (he was 38 I think).
Acting like it's the furthest thing in the world from happening is hilarious. What's his cap number next year, something like $17m? Lots of money to pay a game manager who leans on LaGarrette Blount for success.
The Montana and Favre moves were made with Young and Rodgers waiting in the wings. Both were made with a lot of controversy. Is Mallett ready to be the guy who replaces Tom Brady? Would Kraft cut Brady after this season? This season, for the most part is considered by New England as a gift with all the major injuries they suffered and the offense that Bradywaas given.
