Offseason: Around the NFL

[Meks]

Yeah I don't think there's that much of a market for him that a team will give up what they'll want. We'll see

Cam going to the Patriots. I like it

I've wondered why it has taken this long to get done. Makes complete sense.

And has the added benefit of diverting the Kaepernick circus to some other franchise, which will have to endure said circus until it's obvious to all that Kaepernick ain't what he once was. Hell, his last two seasons in the league already showed the world that.

I dont think anyone has thought since Kaep rightfully and peacefully protested the racial inequality in the country that he was a starter. But he was clearly backup caliber and better than probably 80 percent of the backups in the league. You call it a circus i call it a fuckin crime.

He settled a lawsuit

Yes he did, but that doesn't erase the fact that the league screwed him over. I mean the league has given sexual predators (Big Ben), child abusers (AP), and spouse abusers (Greg Hardy) second chances and these guys were accused of or committed crimes.

I like it too. Makes the kinda-absurd-but-entertaining "Was it more TB or BB?" conversation more interesting

Can trust Belichick to use Cam to his best potential.

[FrenchSkin]

Wow... I know Cam wasn't in the best negotiating position but "incentive-laden deal [...] up to 7.5M" seems like quite the bargain, doesn't it ?

It had to be a bargain. Pats available cap was small but cam has the ability to make up that money in a bigger deal if he can vibe with a winning established structure aRound him. Cam injury status is a mystery Too. It’s a win win

Id say win-win-win.

Pats add a vet Qb to an unknown QB situation
Cam gets to prove he can stay healthy and produce for a big contract next year
Fans get to see Cam and BB, just adds more interest and excitement

I just want some football ...

[MTK]

The Pats can say they like Stidham all they want but a healthy Cam is really intriguing there

[Chico23231]

Lol I see Adam Schefter and Richard Sherman going with the “Cam is a victim” narrative. Lol, these dumb mutherfuckers....

[rocnrik]

IF Kap really wanted to play he would be on a roster .. he is way more focused on political activism than a QB ... he had work out last year and turned that into a circus ..

[SunnySide]

Kaep should have been on a team in some capacity .. but his skill set would require a team/HC to mold a playbook and team around him and I dont think his skills were good enough to entice an organization to build completely around him.

The Ravens were a possibility ... but that organization shows its willing to get creative and think outside the "must get prototypical pocket QB" thinking.

Now --- his skill set and time away makes him a non player imo.

He had a few decent years (2?) but he was never a franchise QB or anything .. Kaep ship has long ago sailed imo.

Honestly, this is the most I have thought about him in years.

[MTK]

He was never given a legit shot to return. And the idea he isn't good enough to be at least a backup is ridiculous.
