Everyone seems to have an opinion on Antonio Brown signing with the Patriots over the weekend.
Two former Patriots -- Tedy Bruschi and Randy Moss -- appeared to disagree with the move on ESPN's NFL Countdown Sunday. Then later Sunday, Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison shared similar thoughts on NBC's Football Night in America, but Dungy took his reasoning to a different level.
“I coached 13 years as a head coach, every year my first message to the team was we want to win Super Bowls," he said. "Yes, we want to be talented, but we have to be role models. These kids in our country look up to NFL players and coaches, and I really think this sent the wrong message.
"I know coaches want to win, but I am disappointed in Robert Kraft. I think at some point you have to say as an organization we’re not going to do this.”
Harrison doesn't believe Brown has shown the ability to make the sacrifices necessary to be a successful Patriot.
“When I heard about it, it didn’t surprise me," he said. "I didn’t agree with it because as a Patriot, you have to sacrifice. You have to sacrifice finances, you have to sacrifice your stats, you have to sacrifice a lot of individual things. That is the one thing Antonio Brown has shown me, that he’s not willing to sacrifice for anybody else besides himself."
Brown officially will join the team on Monday.
