Former NFL player delivers food to coronavirus heroes
Brandon Noble, former NFL player, delivers food to those on the front lines fighting coronavirus.
Julian Edelman did not like the idea of a draft-day trade involving him in order for the New England Patriots to move up in the draft to select quarterback Tom Brady’s eventual successor.
A week after FS1’s Nick Wright suggested on his show, “First Things First,” that the Patriots could use “Julian bleeping Edelman” in a trade for the Lions’ No. 3 pick, the wide receiver hit back.
“Nice hairline bro,” Edelman wrote in a now-deleted tweet directed at Wright early Saturday morning.

Wright’s trade scenario had the Patriots trading up to land Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who would then replace Brady.
“If [Lions general manager] Bob Quinn and [coach] Matt Patricia gift Tua Tagovailoa to the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick for the 23rd pick, a third-round pick and Julian bleeping Edelman, I’m out,” Wright said on the show. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch this sport again because I can’t deal with the idea of it.”

It wasn’t the first time this offseason that Edelman had been connected to a potential trade.
After Brady agreed to sign a two-year, fully guaranteed $50 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Edelman “liked” a tweet from Deion Sanders that wondered if his favorite target could go with him.

“If @TomBrady goes to the @Buccaneers can @Edelman11 go to?” Sanders, a CBS-NFL Network analyst, wrote. “That’s like Jordan without @ScottiePippen, peanut butter without jelly and Ice Tea without Sugar. #Truth”
Last season, Edelman finished with 100 receptions for 1,117 yards.
