2008 NFL Offseason Transactions

[NE_PATS_FAN_54]

This is real painful for me to put this up here after the events of last night, but nonetheless, here it is. mods, if you could sticky this, to make it a little easier for me, that would be appreciated. also, not sure if you can do this, but last year i was not able to edit a post after a certain amount of time, thus forcing me to have to post this over and over every time i updated it. if you could make the edit time unlimited, i would be appreciative of that also. I'm gonna try and do this again. Throughout the offseason, I will update this any time an nfl transaction is made. I hope to make this the official transaction page for this site. If there are any signings, trades,etc. that i miss, please post to let me know.

[Mr.Muhozi]

this is a positive thread, the pats and we the fans, need to realise we have to forget about then, and start dealing with now, incase they had not noticed
05-division play off
06-afc championship
07-superbowl
08-?

we have improved each year, and i think 2008 will be our year, they have to stay positive, look at the negatives, iron them out by next season, and try to go for perfection again,

No thanks to perfection. We've tried that and it didn't work out. I'd rather go for a Championship.

I know it didnt work out for us this year but I still think they should strive for perfection. I mean every team wants to be perfect, and I think that this team will still have a great shot to go perfect next year even with the tougher schedule.

The toughest thing about the schedule--on paper, at least--is the four trips out west. Recordwise, the Pats have the easiest schedule in the league.

Pats Sign Linebacker TJ Slaughter

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/

In a minor move, the Patriots signed free-agent LB T.J. Slaughter to a contract today.

The 30-year-old Slaughter, who was a teammate of Patriots linebacker Adalius Thomas at Southern Mississippi, did not play in the 2007 season. He has suited up for the Jaguars (2000-2003), Packers (2003), Ravens (2003-2004), Saints (2005) and 49ers (2006).

Slaughter projects as an inside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 alignment, and at this point, would likely be vying for a backup spot.

Pats Sign Linebacker TJ Slaughter

ooooo, sorry just saw this posted in here. i just made a thread of it. sorry about that.

 

[DefenseRules]

ooooo, sorry just saw this posted in here. i just made a thread of it. sorry about that.

That's ok. I thought about starting a new thread, but I wanted to be consistent with how you are tracking these transactions. It's still good that we have the other thread. We can all talk about it.
I swear this feels like another Monty Beisel signing though.

 

[NE_PATS_FAN_54]

I'm gonna try and do this again. Throughout the offseason, I will update this any time an nfl transaction is made. I hope to make this the official transaction page for this site. If there are any signings, trades,etc. that i miss, please post to let me know.
