Month: April 2020

There are two huge, off the field, moves that almost happened, that would have dramatically changed our organization.

1. Signing Trent Brown. We made him a solid offer, but the raiders made him (at the time) the highest paid tackle I’m football. We all kind of laughed off that number when we saw it, but he played lights out last year. Same caliber player as tunsil, and now gets paid less….and of course, we’d still have all of our picks. I know he plays RT for raiders, but played well at LT for pats.

2. Resigning Carlos Hyde. He apparently turned down $5 mil/season, which if true, is just insane. He isn’t worth that, as shown by no teams making offers his way yet. We probably don’t bring in David Johnson with Carlos Hyde on the books, who knows where Hopkins would be right now if Carlos took that money.

What do y’all think? Both moves almost happened, and we were happy as fans when they didn’t. Crazy to think about our team if they did though
