He left out, "The Patriots are a client of my private business, & I've been profiting from that partnership for years, enabling the team to skirt the salary cap while other teams with franchise quarterbacks are saddled by albatross contracts and struggle to add talent elsewhere.".

Remember when a defender would miss a sack on Carson Wentz, but the defender would still try to get him (because of course he would), and then that guy would force a fumble because Wentz just acted like that guy just didn't exist anymore? Hurts has done that the last 2 games.
