Patriots Sign Gerard Warren

[Dufflebagz]

.....Uhhhh, ya. You guys know the drill by now.

 

[NEPatriot]

Now I'm happy.

 

[patsinthesnow]

This is getting pretty hilarious.

 

[SeanBruschi54]

Honestly they have no idea what they want.

All these recent signings show me that they think Cunnigham and Moore suck.

 

[Sciz]

Commence mindless complaining about Haynesworth in 3...2...1...

 

[crowell33]

Ron Brace, ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

 

[LetsGoPats36]

I thought Warren was a solid lineman for us last year. Happy to have him back to fire up the competition even more. Really happy we're overhauling the dline because we absolutely needed to.

 

[fumbrunner]

Thought he'd be on the shadow roster in case of injury. Man, how many DLs do we have under contract now??

 

[patchick]

Thank heavens! I was really wondering where they'd find some veteran competition at DE now that guys like Haynesworth, Ellis, Anderson and Carter are off the market.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Since you can't be over the cap for even a second I'm beginning to wonder exactly where we are and how we got there...

 

[DefenseRules]

Do we have enough DL? Yikes!

 

[BadMoFo]

Actually, from what I've been reading, Moore is killing it. Cunningham, not so much.

In the press conference going on right now Belichick said that the two sides had agreed long ago for Warren to return at about this time. So basically this is not something the Pats just decided to do over the weekend; apparently it was to give Warren a bit of a break from training camp.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Belichick collects defensive linemen.

I'm wondering more whether the d-linemen on PUP are now projected to stay there a while....

Then at the end of pre season BB will hold an auction for those not making the roster. Think there will be some incredible competition going on along the DL the next 3 weeks. I would have LOVED to have seen this happen in a year when 2 a days, actually meant TWO a days.

Thanks for the insight, JM, it helps to the urge to cry out WTF a bit. BTW- I wonder what would make GWarren want to come back to a team that was SOOOOO loaded on the DL.....UNLESS.....

 

[BradyManny]

If Ellis really cost $4+ million...how are we doing this all under the cap, even with exemptions...without having done the restructuring we thought we might do.

I'm banking on Clayton being wrong. Which is actually not an unreasonable thing.

 

[NEPatriot]

That is a concern, especially Brace. That said, if they come back I'm not sure there'll be a lot of opportunities for them with all the new signees.

 

[TheSolderKing]

confused


2 ppl must suck for these moves to happen

 

[willard]

I thought Warren was one of our MVP's at the start of last season as he moved all over the Dline and had a real impact in games.

I too am wondering if Brace and Deaderick may stay on the PUP until the middle of the season. Does not hurt the team to stash them there so long as their agents go along with it.
