I do. It seems like BB and company want to get us back to the SB. This may only be the beginning of a great offseason for us.

Great post - this is being hinted by Reiss, that this is only the start - BB SP realize they need to fill some holes with PLAYERS, not number 3's. I think you are right.

I don't think anybody else will get Thomas money except Samuel and hopefully an early-extended Warren.

But $4-5 million? Sure. They were willing to pay that to Graham, and they will gladly direct it to the right other receiver or DB or LB instead.

Belichick likes veteran LB's and veteran S's, one down, one to go?

Ken Hamlin? A trade?

It depends on what you consider "big." I'd say 3 of the few big players to sign are gone, with Thomas joining us and Clements going to San Fran, and Steinbach off the market. There are some other names out there, such as Porter.

Then again, if you consider a Donte Stallworth big, then I think we will make 2 or 3 more.


In any case, I don't think the Pats are going one and done here in free agency. I think this will be a period to remember.

If anything this puts the team in great shape to compete for the next 3-4 years. I'm talking seriously competing.

Yeah, I have a good feeling they're going to keep aggressive in this market.
They may even use one of their first round picks before it's over.

I don't think there are anymore BIG splashes to be made.

However, hopefully this will set the tone for other free agents to realize that New England is the place to be if they want to seriously consider winning a ring.

Hopefully this can help sign some role players like Drew Bennett or Ahman Green.


Denver has set a tone for being a serious player for a ring though too. I here they are now involved in the McGahee sweepstakes.
