Patriots news

[LordSensei1958]

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson faced significant backlash online after posting a scripture in apparent support of former Chicago Bulls player Jaden Ivey, who was released after calling Pride Month "unrighteousness" in a social media post.

Henderson, a devout Christian, posted a Bible scripture on X as part of a retweet of Ivey's initial message.

"'Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' Matthew 5:10," Henderson posted.

When appearing at the NFL's annual league meeting on Tuesday, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was asked to respond to Henderson's social media post. While the coach acknowledged that he wants players to feel comfortable enough to share their personal beliefs, he also wants them to understand that the Patriots are an "inclusive" organization.


"I love TreVeyon. I love the person. He cares deeply about our team. He cares deeply about his faith. He cares deeply about his family, his wife, the people in our building," said Vrabel. "And so, I want them to be able to express what they believe in their heart and in their mind, but I also want to make sure that they're educated, and we want to be inclusive. Everything we want to do, want to provide an environment for people to, want to feel comfortable, but also to share their personal beliefs. And also, we represent the team, and we represent the organization."

Henderson took the NFL by storm in his rookie year, racking up 180 carries for 911 yards and nine touchdowns in an offensive backfield shared with Rhamondre Stevenson last season.

Meanwhile, Ivey, the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, now faces uncertainty as a free agent.

because its usually an extension, so he would get a signing bonus right away but the remaining years on his rookie deal would still be discounted and by the time the new years kick in, it will be cheaper than if you had waited

First: Note that I'm not saying anyone involved in the deal making is right or wrong. I'm just noting the current landscape. Now....

• The team is paying more money
• The team is assuming risk for more money

In the NFL, pretty much all contracts beyond the first one are built for 3 years or less, with the extra years being either dummy years or understood to be "flexible". Just as teams will demand under performing players take pay cuts, high performing players don't sign contracts/extensions and then keep quiet when the market goes up. They start to cry about being underpaid, and demanding to have the deal re-negotiated.


What a team can actually do with a first round player:

5 years on CBA deal
2 years on Franchise/transition tag


So the team can save money on the player, and assume less financial risk, for up to 6-7 years, depending on the second year jump under the tag. Even taking away the first two seasons under the "extend in the 3rd season" scenario, the team is still realizing savings for 4-5 seasons by using the 5 years + tags method.

Good for Henderson, Good for Ivey, and the Bulls should be ashamed of themselves. And Vrabel should STFU, because "inclusive" either goes in all directions or it's not "inclusive". "Inclusive" has become abused so that it really means "can't judge what the left wants, but can judge what the right wants", and that's bullshit, and Vrabel's smart enough to know that.

Vrabel sounds like a leftist twink in that comment.
Treveon is uneducated?

He coaches a Boston sports team. He knows his audience is a bunch of fags trapped in the year 2020.
