Tom Brady doesn’t play defense. While it is early in the season, the 2017 New England Patriots won’t make the playoffs.

Most of the team’s payroll is spent on offense. Aside from Dont’a Hightower, Devin McCourty and Stephon Gilmore, the other defensive players are affordably average.

Perhaps coach Bill Belichick should play poker and trade Jimmy Garoppolo for Aaron Donald, thus changing the course of the season.

Pro football is a gamble, isn’t it?
