13. Randy Moss was a big headache in guess (Oakland) before the Patriots

Sep 2019

traded a song for him. He gave them two very good years before becoming an issue again, and he was gone. Before signing with Oakland, Brown alluded to playing with Brady, now he has that.

My guess, Brown get his act together for at least this year. With him and Josh Gordon or Philip Dorsett working the deeper part of the field, Brady should be lethal. Oh yeah, they resigned Demaryius Thomas, a big reciever who can perform some of Gronk's downfield pass routes. Gordon is also a big body reciever who carried the load while Gronk rehabbed last season, until Gordon got suspended for smoking Pot again.

The Patriots likely keep a tight end on the line to pass protect for Brady. That should make that team lethal barring no key injuries.

An interesting thing on Gordon. I believe all his drug suspensions involved Pot, with the NFL running a controlled experiment with medicinal Pot this year, Gordon may already be signed up for that trial as long as he does not do it in states where it is illegal (which at this point may only be Texas and Indiana).

Main issue seems to be cannabis which should be legal JonLP24 Sep 2019 #5
Exactly. All his suspensions were for Pot, from what I understand. Blue_true Sep 2019 #14

As a Raider fan (since the 60's) ... I'm so fucking pissed off right now ... mr_lebowski Sep 2019 #3
Yeah. Blue_true Sep 2019 #16
Especially when N'Keal Harry comes back healthy JonLP24 Sep 2019 #18
I think Thomas will be the big key. Blue_true Sep 2019 #24
I think Fitzgerald is a good comparison JonLP24 Sep 2019 #25
I'm also a Raider fan since the Mad Bomber and Snake days. I'm pissed at how poorly the Raider GM... brush Sep 2019 #27

Belichick did it with Moss. Blue_true Sep 2019 #17
Was Antonio Brown saga a ploy? A Patriots game? Or just Raiders as usual? Brother Buzz Sep 2019 #31

The Pat's signed him for 1 year $15 ($9 million guaranteed. CentralMass Sep 2019 #19
Mayock and Gruden seem to have handled this well underpants Sep 2019 #22
The market for 2020 looks thin. Blue_true Sep 2019 #26
Not in my opinion. Mayock couldn't have handled it worst. Two times it was seemingly settled then... brush Sep 2019 #28
I disagree ... Sending fine letters is required by the CBA mr_lebowski Sep 2019 #29
Thanks for the info on fine letter policy. Couldn't they have finesse that so that he could play? brush Sep 2019 #30
