Hope it happens, I also hope he can still play.

Ten days after free agent tight end Alge Crumpler paid a visit to the Patriots, he's reportedly close to a deal.

Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper is reporting that Crumpler and the Patriots are close, although a contract probably won't be signed until next week.

Waiting until next week gives both the Patriots and Crumpler time to look elsewhere, which has already happened with the Patriots and a free agent tight end once this offseason, when Daniel Fells appeared close to a deal only to re-sign with the Rams.

The Patriots are in need of a tight end after the departures of Ben Watson and Chris Baker this offseason.


A TE :-)

I hope this happens. His blocking automatically nullifies a Freeney/Mathis and a Wake. If/when we wrap him up, we should be looking at a receiving TE next. Olson or through the draft.

Who's the best receiving TE in the draft? (besides Gresham). The BYU kid?

102 Pat

I think this would be a solid signing. Could be a good presence in the locker room as well.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

I'm on board with this. 25-30 catches. Solid blocking in the passing & running games. Good vet presence....

I expect Pitta to go to Indy. And yes, I would go with Gresham, or Hernandez.

Hopefully a nice move.... if it happens.

Still puzzling over the Fells deal..well..falling through.

I don't profess to know where his game is right now, but In Atlanta he was pretty hard to stop in the passing game.

He averaged more than 50 catches in his last 3 years in Atlanta - the Titans are obviously a pretty heavy running team.

We might be getting a reasonable two-way threat.
