PATRIOTS NEWS ***THE OFFICIAL 2014 New England Patriots training camp thread***

[Mack Herron]

--Gonzalez--retired
--Finley--is weighing his 10m dollar insurance policy vs a new pact that would pay him similar money
--Davis--complete headcase, recently arrested or re-suspended
--Keller--apparently is not worth taking a shot at, from any of the 32 teams' perspectives
--Hartsock--already covered
--Coffman--even worse than Hartsock
--Winslow--where do we even start? recently arrested for smoking synthetic weed and masturbating
--Byham--already cut from our team once this year

Crap, I didn't even know masturbating was illegal. This list is dismal indeed. I suspect if there were to be an addition, it would be someone currently on an active roster.

Only while, or soon after, smoking synthetic weed. You are probably ok at least for today.

An Englishman's home is his castle -- an American's Escalade is his bedroom.

@NBCdianna: Part of practice everyone is waiting to see. redskins receivers vs. patriots cb. Here we go!

I guess Keller's knee must be shot. I know it is not out of the realm of possibility that they sign him sometime after week one, but I think that's unlikely. If they thought he had anything, I truly believe he would be here already. I really had high hopes for that potential signing.

After week one no team is on the hook for his entire year's salary. I say someone signs him after week one minimizing cap risk.

@jeffphowe: Brady and Edelman torch Hall on one play. Ridley trucks Hall on the next.

Nice. Very nice.

Thank You everybody for the updates on JJ. It looks like he has a lot of work to do to make the roster. Keeping my fingers crossed that he will step it up in the preseason games.

Who knew????

Why are there so few tweets of this practice? You'd think with a joint practice there would be far more? Especially 90min into it!!

"That guy is a skyscraper!" a Redskins fan says during 11-on-11 drills. Rookie TE Justin Jones just caught a nice pass down the seam.

#Patriots fans get loud after Brady launches bomb & hits Thompkins in endzone for 50 yd TD. @GameOnWUSA9 @wusa9 #Redskins #SkinsCamp

Sounds like the Pats offense is doing better not having to go against Revis and Browner. Good, yet predictable, news.

In case we are looking for a veteran free agent at TE, the pickings are slim.

• Tony Gonzalez ---- 38, retired
• Jermichael Finley - neck injury at TE is a huge concern
• Fred Davis -------- injury history, under achiever
• Dustin Keller ------ apparently not healthy enough to play
• Ben Hartsock ----- Hommanawanui wannabe
• Chase Coffman --- 4 receptions in three seasons; a Hartsock wannabe
• Kellen Winslow ---- cut after one 1-reception game with Pats in 2012
• Dallas Clark ------- now 35, couldn't make the team two years ago
• Nate Byham ------ being cut after five days is not an impressive resume builder

The guy I am looking at the most right now is Rob Housier. He is not a FA yet but will br cut/traded from the Cardinals before the season going by many reports. Very talented WR but not much of a blocker. It is thought with a good QB he could produce more than the 450 or so he got the past 2 years.

Not really a great pass...

We better lock revis up long term. Revis is making our offense better and he is making our defense better.
