What's next for the Pats?

Ireland explained discipline to yeah. Discipline. Is having my man over here -- Something that he's going to tell you guys after the break. And mean not asking him during the break what it is he's going to tell you I would have ignored I don't Darren Bragg -- I would have liked usually.

Our top to the commissioner the FCC who came in here tell me about Chris mourned Brett say about. What I and to. On about this assembly but it isn't so funny it's -- what was Chris Mort it's not a guy who makes things up so go against. The whole I'd Jerry theory that. Going to be a Bill Belichick noting that means you're on board for everything built it to -- Bill Belichick can't make mistakes. But Chris boards again make -- oh about to -- recruits boards and it so is this -- makes a mistake from Chris -- and circumstances surrounding. The Matt Cassel. Straight keep getting curiouser and curiouser supposed to by -- it comes 1010 grand and Graham on March 1 partly yeah. The more we learn the more inexplicable it. New England Patriots at castle linebacker Mike Vrabel McKenzie -- about. ESPN's Chris -- and has reported. There was a much better offer on the table that the Patriots passed on the twelfth overall pick in the three way trade. That would have at Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler to Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now Chris Morton's if you ask him he backed away from that you don't -- from why are all screwed had a long. Line. Weeks -- to open era. -- stuff that's what I heard this morning and it's gonna make elevated it. Apparently. Ray Lewis is not so fired up about going back to the Ravens just yet. Even though the Ravens have the most money on the board there're two teams in hot pursuit. A radio two to one of them is it true you bring in -- the only use in ground yet when the Patriots.

Now I don't know if the Patriots. Are on the on the board from ball okay maybe they're kicking the tires. And and there are going to try to appeal to the the football junkie and Ray Lewis is not about the money -- if the opportunity to win another Super Bowl which you're not gonna do right away with a -- and brown -- real well. You could do that with the Baltimore Ravens the erratically I don't think so only they -- today teach -- to game last year further than the Patriots. But you can appealed to him and you'd say opportunity to play it was a great players. We don't have the money. That Baltimore does but we can provide something the Baltimore may not be able to got a win at all they've got Joe Flacco. Versus Tom Brady. You've got a great -- to Baltimore. Or deepened to overall. Maybe better than ours right now with las Bart Scott losing line but if we had to. Yeah that's about got some other pieces here. -- think it worked out so somebody is supposedly the Patriots are. Are kicking the tires on Ray Lewis so are the Cleveland Browns. And and Ray Lewis is. Right now in position to --

In your opinion and and I think the last off for the I saw a lot of money in the Ravens had on the table for for Lewis was. 24 million over three years somewhere around there.

I think it's 27 over three maybe some guarantees that are that are off the charts 1617 million dollars in guaranteed money. I'd I'd just don't see how the Patriots. Come up with a packets like that Ray Lewis I don't know that could come within 10%. Of that type of deal for Ray Lewis but I do know this. Bill Belichick. When Ray Lewis was coming out of Miami. Bill Belichick sat down with them. He watched film with them. He thought he was one of the more impressive guys he's ever seen he liked fact that he was watching nominees at the same thing about lawyer Malloy to. Like the fact that a month and a half two months after their seasons. Had concluded. You you put the film on. And those guys were right back in the moment. It's what we're trying to do here. That's where my outside linebackers supposed to be. The stuff which are run. This team 75% of the time when his back is offset that's what they're trying to do and I am looking for that he said he just started. It's really not just to spitting out information. It was really into the game and passionate about. Passion about the game football so that's a Bill Belichick kind of player there's no doubt bear the question is. Even with this increased salary cap room could the Patriots. Conceivably put together package that will be a attract Ray Lewis I don't think --

I don't I don't think they can't match it's another guided Bill Belichick has always expressed admiration for in the past. Is available as of yesterday in -- interest in Jason -- it's a tricky one for me I was thinking about that this morning late last night.

In this morning on one hand. Jason Taylor's one of the great pass rosters era. On the Patriots have seen him up close over the years. He can't play linebacker at times. Nick Saban moved him all over the place was very disruptive. For opponents in this guy -- that the that the player of the year on a team that was not good that told you about his energy one but. That concerns me. A bit about Jason Taylor. Is his behavior the last two years. Yeah Bill Parcells coming in. Badger football operations that. He's going to ask you this day and it's not a good example for the -- your teammates you. Are accused -- with the stars but he was really good day it was really get but it -- gets the start -- you want all you want to art. And the Washington. As important as family as to all of us. You know they asked him to come and the Redskins did they asked in the come in and work out three times a week. And he said I would rather spend time with my family. They couldn't agree to a a workout schedule up the Patriots are going to ask him to work out.

How much is Tom Brady working out here we think right now. I think he's got some. I think he's got some capital in the bank I know I understand my point as. They have made exceptions in the past Richard Seymour Rodney Harrison on not Rodney Richards been down south more. Tom Brady yelling they have made some exceptions there I think they're probably making exceptions now.

That you make an exception for a guy who has no idea how the Patriots do business he he only knows from afar. He's never been an insider army Tom Brady. He's seen it all here he was that he was the guy. Who got that preferred parking spot from working hard on our program hasn't a year but he hasn't got a good buddy actually did he can stay I did that up. Jason Taylor you're trying to get to where I've been already. You can't make an exception for a guy. Who has never. Experienced your program has never master players. After introduced himself to the coaching staff -- I I would think. If they went -- to get this guy they would want to see some type of commitment because of the past two years it seems like he's more concerned about. Preparing for life after football.

So it's tricky coming -- lucky if I know Belichick is has expressed admiration and he cannot. And I know Brady -- complete summary did not look for some reason yet of -- disrespect our armed. Grady is and how well -- they seem to be pals yet. Well. You don't have good year last year. Taylor did the Redskins. Gave up a couple of draft choices to -- room. He was banged up there at three or four sacks last year.

Patriots have acquired guys who had off years before and seen them bounce back. But it's not just the bounce back factor I'm not concerned about that having Jason Taylor has some football left in my question is where's his mind.
