This, what are you doing that stupid trickery crap for?

Is Felger and Mass?

The continued issue, uh, on 985.

Unbelievable.

The Sports Hub.

All right, calls as promised.

Here's Aldo and Leblow on the Tom Brady extension, which feels to me like, wow, really a half measure.

I'm surprised.

Aldo, what do you think?

Well, is it illegal for the Patriots to do what John Elway got when he left the Broncos.

What was it?

Can they give him a percentage of the team and tell him that you're guaranteed ownership

of the team?

So they can do it, but if the league finds out that it was done as a quid pro quo for this,

then that's a, you know, the Broncos also got a big salary cap trouble. I'm not sure it was for the Elway thing. But if they, if the Patriots give him points after he retires, and it's some, and the league investigates and finds out that it was a quid pro quo for this, that's a massive salary cap file. Sure, yeah. They'd be subject

to discipline of some sort, right? So that's not

legal. Either a fine or a draft pick or whatever. So if you're the Patriots, it would it be worth it? Yeah, sure. But, I mean, no, no, just give them the money. Why are we dinking around with, you know, Landon Brookline or this or that or future point? Give him the money. Make him a top five highest paid quarterback, which is where he deserves to be, not the 14th and not the 22nd. And just give him the money. You have the money. You have the room. It's easy enough done. And the fact that it's not just, it blows me away that it's not.

Well, it should blow you away because, again, the fact that it was for one year really does. I mean, that's a big thing. If you're a Patriot fan, that's a big thing. So, like, I'm thinking now, I did say previously that it's guaranteed two and probably a third. and we'll get that all hammered out because he'll get a nice meaty signing bonus this year for a one year extension but he'll get his money now they can spread

it over the three years his average value will go up like everybody else's he'll get his money

you'll get an extra year commitment you trade 10 years of garoppolo for three of brady everybody's

all in boom there we go that's what I thought we were going to get. Instead, we get incentives not for the two years left, but just for one. Right. Which tells you they're going to revisit at the end of the year, which tells me now we're year to year. So I'm not even guaranteed a two with Brady. Like, that's sort of what I'm thinking now.

Right. And correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there a rule that you can only do it once per year? So in other words, they wouldn't even be able to do it until after August 10th of next year, or whatever it is. That sounds right, yeah. So, I mean, they wouldn't be able to even think about changing Brady's contract. A restructure.
