Rex is a very good coach with one of the best defensive minds in the league, and I'd love to see him turn their defense (#32 I think overall, this year?) around and turn them into a strong NFC contender.
He'll have a job as HC in no time. Hopefully with a serviceable GM this time, the Jets GM was _horrible_, to put it mildly.
Not exactly true. The difference is that the contract was restructured so that Brady gets 1 mil more a year, but is only guaranteed if injured. So NE can cut him, and not pay him a dime. The way it was previously set up, NE would've had to put the 24 million in an escrow account a couple days ago. Clearly the NE organization has the money, and Kraft has the money, to pay it. So what it instead frees up is 24 million for signing bonuses (which again, both the organization and the owner could've afforded anyways) and Brady's cap number is even bigger.Quote:

His cap number makes him unattractive (and difficult) to trade, so likely he would get cut instead and be able to choose to go to a playoff contender.
The Redskins fired Jim Haslett. This was long over due, his defenses have been horrible at best and he never could make halftime adjustments if his scheme wasn't working. A chimp with headphones on will do a better job as D-coordinator.
There's some real talent at the LB positions and the line is workable. The secondary needs some upgrades for sure, but they have some young corners who could be good with the right coaching. The safeties are a mess, so that'll take some doing to make better. I wish we could get former Redskins safety Todd Bowles away from the Cardinals as a DC, but that ain't happening.
Then logically extended, Ray Rice would be fine if he'd punched his girl on the field, and Adrian Peterson likewise if he'd beaten his kid's ass during a game?Quote:

Unless she is a QB, then he should've been suspended for being within 5 yards of her.Quote:

Whether or not that's the case, he is highly exalted and thought of.
A deal that's agreeable all around will serve to avoid the embarrassment which attended Manning's exit from Indy.
Everyone is eager to avoid a media circus, moreso now than ever. :wink:
i didn't think of peyton's leaving as a media circus. it was a logical decision by the team--and oh looky, the colts are in the playoffs again.
tom brady is the jon gruden of QB.
