Just doesn't happen. If Belichick lacks that guy, he will win but not consistently, just like everyone else. I mean if he gets close to the #1 pick, he might as well offer his entire draft plus 1-2 other #1 picks to try to get Trevor Lawrence. I wonder if the Bengals would bite on that today after the knee injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pittsburgh, Dallas, 49’rs and the Patriots. The criteria is three rings with the same group of players. The Pats did it twice with two different groups, minus Brady. He’s the link.
