Well, here we are five days out of Free Agency and we know that the Pats dabble with the crumbs but as a Pats fan, to this point have they gotten any better?
They got Hogan who may or may not be the next Welker only bigger, and two Jags. They resigned Waddle and Ebner and lost Hicks. They made a bunch of cuts.
The answer is no. They might be a little worse and that is fed with the now realization that if the game plan was to resign Collins, Hightower, Butler and Jones, the price of the market is such that Jones is absolutely gone and we better hope the other three sign. So that plan is a fail so far.
I think Weddle was high at $6.5mm I get that...... as was Sanu and Marvin Jones but it is almost as they are going through the motions.
Wait for the Draft you say Cousins? The worse Draft class in about 4 years. Trader-man Howie of the Eagles even said this year after the first ten players the drop off is significant. Well Cousins we are at #60.
My point is that there is still value on the FA board. We have played the annual N.E Pats FA "coy" game for 5 days to show how astute we are. Looking at the decision of Robert K on Brady doesn't bode well if we are on a mental bad steak.
But my biggest issue is that if they are waiting for Draft miracles, maybe not so much. Wake up Nick. Look at the Draft board.....OR are they going to swap their choices for 2017 like they have done in the past like swap #60 for a 2017 first rounder. Cool...Let's up Brady for another three years.
