One Tweet restarts the tank movement

The New England Patriots had six players opt out of the 2020 season due to safety concerns over the pandemic. With the players having until August 3rd, last I checked; there could be more to come.

Adam Schefter tweeted on tuesday, "Actual text exchange with an NFL executive today after a sixth Patriot opted out:

Him: “You know Bill is masterminding all of this somehow.”

Me: “For what reason?”

Him: “I don’t know! That’s why he is who he is!”

Whether or not it was with an executive is beyond the point, the tweet seemed to resparked the tank for Trevor movement.

Forget the fact the Patriots have two former Auburn Tigers with chips on their shoulders, looking for redemption. Forget that Edelman has a chip on his shoulder from people saying he was a product of Brady.

Ignore the fact the Patriots have one of the top defensive and special team units. Ignore the media saying McDaniels offense was all Brady.

Some how with all this, people think the Patriots are going to win four or less games still and draft Trevor Lawrence. Who knows, maybe that's why Steven Belichick was moved to outside linebacker coach and his brother to one of the defensive back positions.

While Belichick is tanking for Trevor, don't be surprised if he makes a trade for with the lions for the rights to Barry Sanders to replace Michel. With the depleting linebacker corps, Bill may also sign LT and other linebackers from his 86 Superbowl team. Since we're talking nonsense with tanking, anything is reality.

Look, Belichick is not tanking but there are still several big name players out there. Names like Clay Matthews and Clowney. LaAdrain Waddle and Corey Glenn. Jordan Reed, Chris Hogan, and Michael Crabtree. Instead of talking about tanking, how about we talk about retooling. Patriots nation are you ready for some football?
