Talk about Stranger Things - Tom Brady is a Buc, Todd Gurley wasn't unemployed for long at the Falcons picked up for just $6 million a year and what the hell is wrong with Bill O'Brien
Brady who just 3 days earlier finalized his divorce from the New England Patriots, signed a two year deal reportedly worth $50 million dollars guaranteed. No matter what anyone say’s – it will be strange to watch Tom Brady in a Buccaneers uniform.
Todd Gurley. was cut by the Rams who didn't want to pay a running back $17 million dollars a year to rush for 800 yards. The Falcons wasted no time and signed him for just $6 million a year. Gurley will still make $11 million as the Rams are on the hook for the difference.
Let’s begin with a public service announcement: if Bill O’Brien offers you a ride in a car – you say no. If Bill O’Brien offers to cook you dinner – you say no. If Bill O’Brien offers you trade advice or wants to shed some of his wisdom on how to get along with a star wide-receiver – you say no, and if Bill O’Brien attempts to give you GM advice – you most certainly say no.
Shocked without the awe is the best way for me to describe how I felt about the deal which sent the leagues most reliable wide-receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals for the washed-up David Johnson.
Johnson rushed for a less than impressive 345 yards last year and will cost the Houston Texans $11.3 million dollars this year. David who was one of the leagues best running backs in 2016, has never been the same since his 2017 wrist injury which sidelined him for most of the season.
