Pats sign LB Dekoda Watson

Long shot to make the team but they certainly have a lot of depth ...

And amidst all the chaos and smoke, BB still gettin' it done

Looks like Matthew Wells competition to me. That kinda makes sense. I'd want to get rid of everybody with that last name.

Is that the 90 roster places filled then?

Does he play lawyer?

He was a good special teamer if I recall. The last time we grabbed a ST LB from TB it worked out pretty good (Jonathan Casillas).

Miguel tweeted that we are at 90. I wonder if this means a no go on Spikes or Fletcher.

Miguel says 89.

Actually, it is 90 :

I expect Fletcher tomorrow although he's similar so maybe it won't be him.

I still have a fascination with Spikes despite his limitations (I would like his nasty) and Pierre Thomas would be a great signing right now. Remember tomorrow is the first day they can sign without affecting comp picks.

My last name has been tainted. I should sue for defamation.

Seems like a solid signing, although he may be a training camp body. I'm still waiting to see if we sign Spikes or not, I would rather have him.

What's his PSI preference?

Spikes should help our short-yardage defense. Even though we had a much better defense in 2014, we only gave up 29 less points than 2011. Situationally, there are are some areas to improve.

Short-yardage run D. Mayo healthy and possibly Spikes. Depth behind Chandler if he's struggling vs the run. Better depth on DL should keep them fresher.

Same with pass rush. Sheard, Easley and a few rooks should improve that.

Maybe, we'll give up less first downs because of penalties too. Revis loss is irreplaceable. Not so sure Browner and Arrington as big as some making out.

Next men up to sign should be OG Justin Blalock & CB Tarell Brown.

Anyone else surprised there were no roster moves today? It's the first day you can sign guys without it affected the comp picks formula, I kind of thought they may have had a deal already in place for one of Spikes or Fletcher that would be announced today. Mildly surprised.

And they walked the Earth, and spoke to everyone they saw, but not a single damn was given.
