Maybe, but the offensive line and the quarterbacks were so bad last year that I doubt those guys, collectively, became as mediocre as we witnessed. I trust the re-signing of Bourne based on what I saw last year, and know that JJSS is a great route runner and pass catcher. It's possible that...
April 29, 2007 - the date Randy Moss became a Patriot for a 4th round draft pick. Mark that down. It was after free agency, after the draft and two weeks before Mother's Day.
There is so much time left to continue to add players. The draft is very significant for three reasons - the guys...
It's been 48 hours since they could officially talk with players. Signings start today, more cuts and trades are on their way. There are still five weeks until the draft.
They're taking care of their business so they know what to go shopping for once the impulse/panic buying phase is over...
What they said was obviously not true about JJSS early in the season - he had none of the quickness to get separation. His last four games stats mean little as the Patriots were in the bench Mac- start Zappe phase of the proceedings. We can disagree on this and it's not a big deal. The proof...
Signing big veteran TE Austin Hooper is a good move as well as signing Gibson and dealing with their own FAs. I'd like to see them nail down a good deal with Dugger before the draft.
They still need a front-line OT in free agency. OT Tyron Smith is still unsigned but will get a top deal. He...
And getting better with solid, affordable veterans in advance of the draft.
Jacoby Brissette in at veteran/backup QB is a solid move and will have a receiving corps that includes TE Austin Hooper, TE Hunter Henry, WRs Bourne, JJSS, Reagor, Demario Douglas, Tyquan Thornton and who knows who...
Disagree on JJSS. He was coming off knee surgery last season and looked increasingly faster/quicker during the last four games. He is a talented pass catcher and great route runner when healthy.
Interesting move for Mac Jones - there are already four QBs under contract in Jacksonville. Clearly Trevor Lawrence is the starter. He'll have a chance to work with QB Coach Mike McCoy who did great work with Philip Rivers and helped Lawrence find his potential after a disastrous rookie season...
If I'm Hunter Henry, I go explore the market before I sign anything. He may very well return because the Pats make the best offer and he knows the players and some of the coaching staff. But the smart thing to do is check the market for his services out.
He also doesn't know who his QB will...
No. They've got to get a veteran QB at a reasonable cost to be in the room with the rookie they select. Mac Jones doesn't have the experience to help a new guy. They'll either take one of the top three or move down and get one of the other guys. I'm kind of interested in Bo Nix if they trade...
This is a good idea with Dugger. Find out what the real market is, prevent a team in the conference or division from snatching him off the roster without the chance of matching, and let him and his agent know you're willing to pay market value if there truly is a market there. As you say...
You may be right about that, but these guys are addicted to the fame and competition. We were first-hand witness to that with Brady hanging around long after he made his intergenerational wealth and legacy only to be followed by Cam Newton. I think this is a good landing spot for him with a...
No he didn't. He just was not a fit with Sean Payton and his $25.5 million guarantee that kicks in shortly hamstrung the Broncos. They signed him to a ridiculous contract and gave up way too much to Seattle for guy on the back nine. The Patriots are an ideal spot for him to do his thing with a...
Who cares. really? He's a one-year signing to be in the QB room with the #3 pick in the draft. He is, by far, the most accomplished veteran on the market with something left in the tank. He can start and make the Patriots competitive until the rookie is ready to take over. The young QBs they...
Sign him to short money for a year. Wilson would be an excellent veteran to be in the QB room with the rookie selection. He's getting tons of guaranteed money to leave Denver and should not cost much at all.
I think the Patriots should go out and find the best blocking/third-down pass-catching free agent back on the market and bring him in to add another blocker to support the rookie QB and be a reliable safety valve.
I do not know who that might be, but a Kevin Faulk, James White, Tony Collins...
On Tyquan Thornton (and this goes for Kendrick Bourne, JJSS, Hunter Henry, Demario Douglas and Tre Nixon), the Patriots needs a QB who can "throw them open" as opposed to Mac and Zappe who threw to open receivers. The windows close too quickly in the NFL to see an open receiver and throw it...
