The Chiefs need to get them on the phone NOW. "Boys, have we got a deal for you!"

LMAO

Should have been on the ****ing horn as soon as Dorsey secured an interview.

You can have him for the low, low price of the #33 overall pick. We'll even throw in Daniel Sorensen to sweeten the deal.

And a bunch of Alex Smith testicle tasters for your fan forums as well.

If the OP is true, that is some colossal fail by NE trading him for a 2nd to SF. Wow.

Lol

It’s monumental incompetence, bordering on sabotage.

Makes me wonder if someone within the Patriots' machine (Kraft) is leaking damaging stuff to lead to the exit of BB.

No, BlackOp told us it was the NFL paying back li'l Shanahan or something for the SB last year. Something like that.

Many conflicting reports on this, but one report said BB wanted to send Jimmy G out of the AFC, which certainly makes some sense. Another (or perhaps the same one) said he favored SF as he liked Kyle Shanahan, having been friendly with his father, Shanarat. :shrug:

One of the weirdest things about this whole thing, though, is BB taking less to trade a very good player. You would think he would have shopped him and made sure he was getting the best offer. Anything less isn't exactly "doing your job", and certainly odd behavior for BB.

OR, of course, there's some degree of Cleveland covering their asses by putting something out there that isn't true.

No way was Bill sending him to Cleveland. He hates Cleveland and it is in the AFC. So I am guessing Bill was not moving Grapollo to any AFC team. He probably made 1 call to the 49ers and did not mess around for wringing the last dollar/pick out of them.

He was not sending him to the Bills, Browns, Broncos or Jags.

I somehow doubt he was scared of playing Garappolo in the future

This just confirms the ESPN story. You don't want to hear that your parents have fallen out of love and hate each other as your dad is banging a cocktail waitress named Jade, but that's the reality.

The playoffs this year is your Christmas and I hope it goes smoothly. Patriots fans deserve the best due to their suffering.
