Re: Free Agency - Week Two has started
The Patriots did nothing but sign their own players, which was something that should have been done long before. Giving them credit for this is like giving a 35 year old healthy adult with an above average I.Q. credit for remembering to pee in the toilet instead of his pants.
11 teams signed zero free agents so far this season.
The patriots signed Banta-Cain, Neal, Bodden and Faulk this last week.
In addition, we extended Wilfork and made a minor acquisition before the free agency began (Patten).
==================================
Make no mistake, we would be in much, much, much worse shape had we not signed any free agents this week. Banta-Cain and Bodden were MAJOR signings.
I would argue that only Chicago did better this last week.
==================================
For those who think that we are 3rd in the division, you are certainly entitled to your positions. IMHO, the patriots are the division winners last year, and need to solve their receiver situation to repeat. As far as defense, the youngsters are just that; they will improve. We have re-tooled. And yes, we expect to upgrade for Green at DE and add a LB.
