Default Which FA acquisition excites you the most?

For me, it's Shawn Springs. Probably the biggest need this FA and a massive improvement over Deltha. I love the Galloway signing, but i think Springs improves the team more than Galloway.

Bodden - potential probowl type player. This is the type of talent that could catch a lot of teams by surpise

It's Baker. The TE position sucked last year. Watson and Thomas regressed. Hopefully things will improve dramatically this year.

Bodden, the biggest need this offseason is defense. Especially the secondary. With Bodden on the roster and Springs we are ok with the secondary. The only offensive need i see is that we need to build depth at Offensive Line. We need a line that wont give up 47 sacks like last year!

Baker would have been my choice except it happened early and I got used to the news, so to speak. I think this signing upgrades our team significantly. Bodden would have been my choice next except he signed a contract for one year only. That leaves Springs. I selected that one.

I am pretty excited about them all, but the seconday signings are what I am most looking forward to.

I believe that the Patriots will work out a long term contract with Bodden during the season. Also, from what Bodden said, he wants to stay a Patriot!!

It's really close between Bodden, Galloway, Springs, and Taylor... but I'm going to say Bodden. He's a perfect fit for this system and could be a shutdown corner for a bargain price.

I would say Bodden for sure. Hes fairly young and if we like what we see this season, we have the option to retain him long term.

Galloway. He will have 11 TD's this season (if healthy), Moss hits 24, Brady for 55. We're not only going score ridiculous points this year we're going to shove wins down opponents throats once Brady gets his groove back.

Say good bye to "garbage time".

Still, 14-2, losing games 1&2.
