News » New England Patriots fans who forgot that Monday

FOXBOROUGH http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/zach-allen-jersey-cheap , Mass. (AP) — Don’t. Even. Joke.Fools’ Day might have been panicking when quarterback Tom Brady tweeted that he had decided to retire.The six-time Super Bowl champion has joined Twitter and his first post said simply: “I’m retiring. In my spare time, I’ll be tweeting.” An email from a Twitter spokeswoman confirmed the account, but it also referred to the fact that the tweet came on April Fools’ Day.About an hour later, Brady sent out a second tweet that said, “Was this a bad joke?”Brady is a 41-year-old Andy Isabella Jersey , three-time NFL MVP who has to stop playing some time. But after leading New England to the title last year, there’s no indication that he’s slowing down.And anyway, is this how he would announce it?Even tight end Rob Gronkowski, who actually retired last month, did so with a lengthy Instagram post.Neither Brady’s agent nor the Patriots immediately responded to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment. CLEVELAND (AP) — Jamie Collins had flashes of brilliance with the Browns. Not nearly enough of them Jamel Dean Jersey , though.Cleveland released the veteran linebacker on Wednesday with two years remaining on his contract. Collins never lived up to high expectations with New England or the Browns, who were in line to pay him $10.5 million this season and $12.5 million in 2020.By cutting Collins, the Browns will save $9.25 million in salary-cap space for 2019, leaving them with around $80 million to improve a roster that went 7-8-1 last season.The 29-year-old Collins was acquired in a trade midway through the 2016 season from New England in exchange for a third-round draft choice. Collins made 30 starts for the Browns, with 204 tackles D.K. Metcalf Jersey , seven sacks and two interceptions. However, the 6-foot-3, 250-pounder wasn’t consistent and drew criticism from fans last season for not hustling.Browns general manager John Dorsey met with Collins’ agents last week at the NFL combine to discuss the player’s future.“We want to thank Jamie for his contributions to the Cleveland Browns,” Dorsey said in a statement. “These types of decisions are never easy. Jamie is a respected veteran player in this league and we wish him the best as he continues his career.”Collins started all 16 games last season and finished with a team-high 104 tackles, four sacks and one interception. But there were long stretches in which Collins seemed to disappear Nick Bosa Jersey , and in the end the Browns decided his contract — a four-year, $50 million deal signed in 2017 — didn’t match his value.At the time of his signing, Collins represented another new start for the Browns, who have only made the playoffs once since their expansion reboot in 1999. Now, he’s no longer part of a future that appears much brighter if Cleveland has found its franchise quarterback in Baker Mayfield.Collins’ departure could have a major impact on Dorsey’s plans in free agency and the draft. The Browns want to improve their front seven on defense and are focused on adding depth on the line and at linebacker.While this year’s college class of linebackers isn’t especially deep http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/byron-murphy-jersey-cheap , there are some good ones available in free agency, including Baltimore’s C.J. Mosley, Philadelphia’s Jordan Hicks and Minnesota’s Anthony Barr.Dorsey could also try to improve his defense via trade.
