Report: Teams turned off by media attention that follows Tebow, Belichick “hates” him as a player
According to Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports, it seems as though no NFL teams want Tim Tebow and it might be because of his cult-like following. “He seems like a great guy to have on a team, and I’d be tempted to bring him in as our backup,” one NFC head coach told me Wednesday. “But it’s just not worth dealing with all the stuff that comes with it.” “You don’t want...

Welker Signs with Denver and I Blame Josh McDaniels
I have to be dreaming. The Patriots just let Wes Welker walk. When I originally started talking about this, I was thinking the he would go $28million/4 years, but he walked for a $12 million/2 year deal in Denver. The Patriots would not match a two-year... $12 million deal. That is chump change. The Patriots signed a five year extension with Aaron Hernandez worth an average of $7...

Patriots reportedly grew tired of Brandon Lloyd’s behavior, could cut him
When the New England Patriots brought back Josh McDaniels as their offensive coordinator last season, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that receiver Brandon Lloyd would not be far behind.

According to Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe, it is...

Brian Daboll’s Return to Patriots, Raises Eyebrows About Futures of Josh McDaniels, Bill Belichick
Right around the time when Bill O’Brien was announced as the next head coach at Penn State last January, Josh McDaniels not so coincidentally made his return to the Patriots’ coaching staff. Might they be dealing with déjà vu, just one year later?
