No qb in the league can do what Brady did this season
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1m
And Patriots are releasing safety Steve Gregory, per @FieldYates.
Jeff Howe @jeffphowe 3m
The financial aspect made Gregory an obvious candidate to get cut. Pats loved him, though, referring to him as something of a player coach.

Finally got official word: The Patriots did not use the franchise tag today.
Aqib Talib reportedly wants big contract from Patriots
Chris Wesseling
Around the League Writer
The New England Patriots and free-agent cornerback Aqib Talib are at an impasse.
Owner Robert Kraft has stated his reluctance to shell out big bucks for a player who has battled hip injuries off and on over the past few seasons.
To the surprise of no one, Talib sees his value differently.
Coming off his first Pro Bowl selection, Talib wants to be paid as a "top-of-the-market" corner in free agency, reports Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald.
Brent Grimes' four-year, $32 million deal with $16 million in guarantees from the Dolphins is viewed as the benchmark for Talib's camp.
Talib comes in at No. 10 on Around The League's list of the top 101 free agents. He's more than two years younger than Grimes and a comparable talent, but those positives are offset by injury and suspension risks.
The Patriots have made Talib a priority and have kept in contact with his agents, per Howe. If the two sides can't find common ground in the next few days, though, there's a good chance he will be wearing a different uniform in 2014.
He's not getting 5/50 from New England with the hip and his younger, cheaper replacement in plain view for the 2014 class.yeah that just drove Talib's price/years out of our comfort zone, i'm sure

No way Talib is getting that from NE
yeah agreed, man. we need to hit TE, DT, WR hard. would have been a KILLER year to have two first rounders but that's obviously not happening.
read that trading or dumping amendola doesn't help us from a cap standpoint...not sure if i read it right, but if that's true, let's keep him. he had flashes and a couple huge catches for us. i think less emphasis on him from the start might help with keeping him on the field. but again, only if there's no cap benefit to dumping him.
