I expect a WR or a TE this week.
==================================
We had a GREAT week one, re-signing our own.
===================================
We still need to re-sign or replace or upgrade for these SEVEN positions
WATSON
THOMAS
BAKER
BURGESS
GREEN
WELKER (actually we need a #2; Edelman replaces Welker in the slot)
HANSON
===================================
There may be many more opportunities to upgrade or bring in camp competition, but these seven NEED action.
==============

Interestingly, as of 3/13 midday-

Seven teams -- Dallas, Carolina, Philadelphia, Seattle, New York (Giants), Tampa Bay and Oakland -- have not signed or re-signed a UFA.
(scratch Philly they just signed very minor deal with Baskett)

17 teams haven't signed an UFA from another team

12 teams haven't signed any of their own UFA's

There's a lot of pass rushing on that list.

Or rather, a lot of what had been hoped-for pass-rushing.

You say you expect a TE or WR.

Who do you expect? There are no TE's in the Free Agent market that will make a difference to our offense.

WR? Aside from TO, there isn't a difference maker available there either.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

There really isn't much out there. At this point, most of the Pats free agent signings will jags. They are going to have to bank on the draft.

patsfan-1982

here is a list of some guys that are left.

WR

Terrell Owens, is the only guy left that can be the #2


Muhsin Muhammad, nice and old just how the pats like them lol


Domenik Hixon, ok #4


Torry Holt, WR, could be a nice #3


Laveranues Coles, good #3


Josh Reed, good #3


Javon Walker, ok #4

DE


Charles Grant, not sure if he can play the 3-4


Dwan Edwards, would add good dept.


Cory Redding, good dept maybe a spot starter.

OLB


Adewale Ogunleye, 4-3 DE 3-4 OLB


Leonard Little, 4-3 DE 3-4 OLB


Greg Ellis, would add some good dept and has played 3-4 OLB



Derrick Burgess, the best opt out there he should be re-signed


Jason Taylor, not sure he has anything left.


not much left but there are a few guys who can fill some holes and add some dept.

I expect nothing this week.

Also I think Burgess will be given a chance to compete for a job this fall. He did pick up on the two gap technique in the last few games and was able to shed far more effectively.

If we pick anyone up, my guess (and hope) is it's a guy like Mike Vrabel who was an unknown when we got him, but didn't last long as an unknown once he got here. Maybe it's just the hype and increased expectations, but it seems like many of the big name players we sign don't yield big time results.

I think a guy like McGowan fits the "largely unknown but does a good job" description.

i think we are done in FA...there isn't anything out their worth it. We will do some damage in the draft and then see who gets cut this summer.

"We had a GREAT week one"???????????

How so...the team is worse off then when the season ended. No tight end whatsoever...as they let 2 good tight ends walk and only one decent healthy receiver

The passive approach by the front office has taken all of the air out of the Patriots balloon. There is nothing but trash left in the free agent market and they have passed on many very good players who could have helped.

Now the team is desperate at certain positions and left hoping for rookies to step in and be difference makers.


They are now third best team in the division. Its hard to do cartwheels when they sign their own free agents who never should have gotten to free agency in the first place. The FO performance has been pathetic


If this is a "great week one" I hate to think of what a less than great week two will be.
