    I just thought of two things that make this a bad deal for the Pats and a good deal for the Browns.

     

    1. The Browns can franchise tag Collins even if he doesn't sign to where he would have to stay for at least next season.

     

    2. The Patriots probably would have gotten a third round compensatory pick if they just let Collins go in the offseason and kept him for the postseason run.

     

    But that comp pick would be for 2018. Now they get it earlier

    More losses = a higher chance of it happening.  And this team isn't competing for a Super Bowl, so wins just move us out of a better draft slot

     

     

    I don't think it even happens with 6 wins, as you've suggested. Drafts can be nailed or screwed up from anywhere on the board. I'll take enjoying a few wins on Sundays over a little bit higher of a draft slot

    But players are also human beings. They have the right to express themselves as long as they don't do/ say anything that violates league rules, and isn't hateful or harmful. Seeing as how standing for the National Anthem was never a requirement, players choosing to kneel during it isn't an actual issue. Whatever interpretations make off it is irrelevant because everyone has an opinion but opinion =/= fact and no rules were broken.

     

    This is where my thing about Irsay connects. There are some that might look at his live for Rock and collecting guitars as a distraction because it makes him appear to eccentric. You don't see Reggie Wayne saying "Maybe he should focus less on his guitars and more on the time". How Irsay chooses to express himself is his business. He should do the same.

     

    That was my overall point that I think I screwed up because of how I worded and presented it. Everyone has non-harmful aspects of their personalities and life that could be judged. Whether you kneel on the sideline during the Anthem, have a foot fetish like Ryan, hangout with rappers like DeSean Jackson, or whatever people shouldn't be judged for how they express themselves. Irsay saying he doesn't agree with kneeling because he doesn't feel the NFL Is the place for it is equivalent to saying that Aqib Talib shouldn't be up in clubs, the Rams players shouldn't have done the hands up thing, or Eric Decker shouldn't have been so open about his sex life on his reality show. 

     

    You back tracked at the end of your argument. I don't think anyone would disagree that everyone has certain aspects/beliefs that they're entitled to. However, just as Irsay has his guitars during his personal time, Ryan may deal with his foot thing during his personal time. He's not on the field checking out people's feet, and Decker isn't out there trying to tell his teammates about his sex life in the huddle.
