Tom Brady Texts Brandon Lloyd About Returning To The Patriots, But Lloyd Says He Wants To Finish Shooting His Zombie Movie First

HacheMan · Sep 22, 2013

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Tom Brady has been "calling and texting" free agents Brandon Lloyd and Deion Branch "gauging their availability."

We're assuming Brady is doing so on behalf of Patriots management. Per Rapsheet, Branch has told Brady he's "ready whenever," but that Lloyd wants to finish shooting his zombie movie before a potential return. In case you hadn't heard, Lloyd is shooting a direct-to-DVD affair with Daniel Baldwin called "After Effect." Lloyd likely has more left in the tank than Branch, but was a fading player last season and locker-room lawyer. The fact that he's back on the Patriots' radar speaks to their lack of faith in their rookie wideouts.

Lloyd is smart thinking of his future after football and not just jumping at a chance to comeback for another short NFL paycheck

build that movie resume instead

Window is much smaller to play in the NFL. He has what, MAYBE one season left? Grab that money now, he'll have decades to make shitty straight-to-DVD movies.

He must really be passionate about this Zombie movie lol movies are life after football, he can do that for the rest of his life. Not much life left in the NFL is there for him. If Brady txts you wanting you to come back. You should take it
