Was on Felger & Mazz ( Boston sports radio) today. He got over SB 49 "pretty easily". Him & Butler talked about the interception the following summer. "Life goes on" he says.
I am glad that scrub got over it so easily. He shouldn't be out there broadcasting how "easily" he got over it. Dude made zero effort on the pick.
Sorry I'm venting...
Kinda gotta put that one on the front office and Pete. Dude like that'd never be signed by new England. I nominate him for the Ring of Dishonor.
He was an UDFA that had the potential to be a very good WR and went on to be a difference maker on special teams. Any team would sign a dude like that, including New England.
But sure, New England would never sign a guy like that. But they would draft a guy in the 4th round with a mountain of red flags so huge that even though he was a top TE prospect many teams took him off their draft board altogether. Fights, arrests, multiple failed drug tests, massive character concerns including being described as "a lot to handle" and "unhinged". Then New England would go on to extend this guy a couple of years later, even though he continued to be "a lot to handle", to a 5 year $40 million contract not too long before he was arrested for, and then later convicted of, murder.
Any chance we can stop with the false narrative that New England is some perfect, infallible organization that never tolerates "problem players" and never makes any bad signings? It's beyond absurd.
