Crazy Patriot Guy

Michael Lombardi of NFL Network tweeted this but can't get a link to work so I linked to KFFL. (it's where I saw it anyway) Click on the Lombardi tweet link and he also says the Pats are working on other deals.

Good to hear.. Slater has been an outstanding special team player outside of the 2 fumbles as a rookie..

I still hold out hope he'll be more than just a valuable special teamer one day, but I'm happy to have him back in that capacity. He's one of those players worth more to the Patriots than he would be for another team, so it's probably a good deal for both parties.

Great news on Slater as long as he's never used as a returner again

Indeed... This might be worthy of its own thread if there's actual interest. It kind of seemed to me that the 2nd round tender was meant to tempt a QB needy team into making such a move. Given the number of 2nd round picks who are busts it's a worthwhile risk for many teams.

Hopefully that means the Patriots have confidence that Mallet could continue to develop (though I'd think they might bring in a veteran QB in camp as well if Hoyer were not here)

Locking up the ST players first?

Gostkowski for 3

Not sure he would stick anywhere. Might be like Cassel, ala a QB who is in the lower half in the league as a starter

Why?PJ

oh yea, don't you just love having the worst return teams in nfl history? Maybe we can get lucky and they'll find someone that can make it to the 22 yard line every time instead of just the 20...

Let's hope someone signs him. Extremely doubtful. Like Hoyer, but would rather have a second round pick.
