Like Jimmy Garoppalo?
lol … I wish but I don’t think so. Bill probably saw more value in trading Jimmy than keeping him or some other external force influenced him to trade him. What that is I don’t know…
Bringing in an attention seeker like Manzel could be a disaster. It’s not just his play on the field, the media and locker room need to be considered. Team chemistry is a very important thing and having bad apples in the locker room can really bring a team down.
It’s possible TB and BB can really force the issue and fix any problems, but it doesn’t seem worth the effort to me.
Yep - something that’s over looked is also the time and energy the coaching staff would have to direct towards this phenomenon rather than on planning and improving the existing players - again opportunity costs are too high for the likes of Johnny Football
If the Pat’s were to give him a try out, there would be no media problem. The Patriot way and all that.
And Bill has been known to try reclamation projects. This is of course pending that Maziel’s past is behind him and he is indeed making an effort to control his bi-polar condition.
He could be a bargain for some team, assuming they have to resources.
