Patriots' TE depth chart was well stocked before Fred Davis agreement (per @AdamSchefter) -- Gronkowski, Chandler, Hoomanawanui, Wright.

Gotta say I didn't see this one coming at all

Coming in 2015: the 4-TE set!

If his head is screwed on, the Patriots now have the best collection of Tight Ends in the NFL (Gronk makes this a moot point but you get what I am getting at). Davis' best is tremendous.

Another important aspect to this signing

Davis doesn't count vs. compensatory formula. That's why he's signed today and not Wednesday like fletcher or spikes

dented can......hasn't been healthy with any regularity for 4 years

Ooohh, so Spikes and or Fletcher will probably come Wednesday?

Gronk, Chandler, Wright & Davis.

Yeah, can't complain about that quadruple TE threat.

I think this will be depth for Gronk getting suspended for his role in defecategate.

Signing someone like Davis offers a mouth watering match up; Gronk out wide on Revis. I'd like to see 6'0 defend 6'6.

Davis is actually a really good player who just loves smoking weed. If he can put the damn weed down he might be one helluva signing for us.

Likely that Fred Davis signs a MSB deal meaning that his net cap hit is whatever bonus amount (maximum of 80K) is.

Wow, he's only 29. If he decides to stop being an idiot:

Gronk, Chandler, Davis. That's just dumb. I'd keep Hooman too.

He was suspended last year. Not injured

Odd decision here.
Suspended all 2014 for domestic abuse and substance abuse.
Only played 7 games 2013.

Longshot.
Was very good in 2011 and very bad since.

TheTight End Depth Chart is loaded:

Rob Gronkowski
Scott Chandler
Michael Hoomanawanui
Tim Wright
Fred Davis
AJ Derby

gronk gonna be suspended for mocking

Well Derby's slim chances to make the team just got slimmer.

I like what I saw of him though and hope we can keep him on the practice squad.

but he was injured the previous year unless he was suspended then too.......does it matter why if you can't step on the field?

I hope he does well.......but history shows that guys who get bounced that much usually don't have motivation to do the right thing
hopefully that has changed
