Who is your top priority for re-signing this offseason?

[ctpatsfan77]

I haven't listed everyone, just the players who could conceivably get votes as top priorities.

I also haven't listed players who aren't actually FAs in 2014 (e.g., McCourty).

Blount, Talib, Edelman, Spikes and Fletcher.

Gah. I knew someone would reply before I could finish the poll.

Please, ENOUGH with the "next year" threads. :bricks:

This season with Mayo being lost was an opportunity for Spikes to prove to the team that he deserved a big contract and could be a 3 down player. Today he went out and laid an egg, on the season he has been non-existent as a playmaker, after forcing 5 fumbles in 12’ and being one of the more feared players in the NFL he has not forced a single fumble this season, he also has 5 less pass defends (2-2013; 7-2012). We should move on from him unless we can get him cheap.

Blount, Talib, Edelman, Spikes and Fletcher.

Blount would be a waste of money in my opinion, he is likely going to receive a decent offer from a team that wants to use him as their #1. We don’t need to pay him to be our #1 we have Ridley, Vereen and Bolden all under contract in 2014 and we have Cierre Wood on the practice squad who is a promising young player.

I haven't given up on 2013, but, then, especially after 2007, I never expect the Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

But, as fans, I see no reason why we can't/shouldn't talk about the future.

 

[TruthSeeker]

I think without a doubt, you have to get Edelman back. He is our best receiver, period. Also, a great punt returner, just a great football player. Talib is my second choice, the rest could walk, who cares.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Edelman. Talib hasn't been great 2nd half of year...

 

[varjao]

Marquice Cole no doubt

 

[Huckleberry1]

Much as i want Edelman back I have to go with Talib because it is much harder to find a really good corner than it is a WR. My preference would be to resign both and it's going to suck if they end up losing both of them.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Edelman! Talib hasn't played well lately.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Edelman, no brainer.

He's Wes Welker 2.0 but with better punt return skills, a little taller and much younger.

Talib is a great CB when healthy, but at this point he is what he is, injury prone. The guy constantly has a nagging injury that severely diminishes his performance.

Edelman Edelman Edelman Edelman Edelman Edelman

I'd be LIVID if we let Brady's [new] fav target leave for the 2nd year in a row. Especially 2 very similar players.

Anyways, I'd be ok let Talib go. He seems to have a nagging problem with that hip. Otherwise he's great when healthy but I don't want to take that chance. I'm sick of injuries.

Say if he didn't have that problem, what could we offer him, 6mil a year at least? I'd rather spread that over 2 players at 3-4mil each or something

Brandon Browner maybe? One of the better tall CBs available (6'4)

Who is your top priority for resigning this offseason?

I wanted talib at the beginning of the year. But now i really dont care if they keep him

 

[patsfan-1982]

I said Talib cause I don't see the pats bringing back both him and Julian Edelman, Talib will still get 6 or 7 million per and now that Julian Edelman is going to have a 100 rec 1000 yard season he is going to get 7 plus on the open market I don't see the pats paying that,


I hope they are both back but I think Talib will be easier to sign. I could see a team like the colts or lions throwing some money at Edelman

Why would Edelman get more than welker, who many think is better?? I think we re sign Edelman and talib.

cause his hitting the market at 28 years old not 32 like welker was

 

[BradyToAmendola]

Edelman probably.

 

[Fencer]

Talib. If there's one position where I'm tolerant of fragility it's CB, because BB is going to build a deep collection of DBs no matter what.

(I guess RB is another. In different ways, offense and defense both have backfields by committee.)
