Patriots re-signed exclusive rights free agent FB James Develin to a one-year, $660,000 contract.

Glad to see that they're wrapping up the important contracts today.

On a serious note, he's been a decent player for us. Improved in the passing game last year. Still won't forget that 4th effort TD against Houston in 2013.

thank god

this should calm the mob down about revis.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

Wonderful! Even less money to lock up Revis.

 

[Love The Drake]

Kids a player.

Drop in the bucket. This subtracts maybe 50k from cap space.

[Wheelman]

If you're going to have a Revis on the team, you need five or six Develins to make the salary cap work.

Would it subtract anything? It doesn't seem likely that James would be in the top 51.

I like Develin, this is a good move IMO. If we improve the run blocking of the interior line, he'll have even more opportunities to spring our backs for big gains.

Honestly no idea. I think it is above vet min so I assume it would subtract something small. Could be wrong though and frankly I don't even feel the need to look it up cause it be so insignificant either way. Solid role player though. Glad they got him.

Guys like this are the reason NE wins. Ninko, LaFell, Vrabel. Patriots pick up guys no one talks about and a few years later they are very productive.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Per Miguel, $660K is $150K above the top salary not already in the Top 51.

 

[Froob]

ZOMG wow we're going to lose Revis because we had to pay Develin. This MUST have been the work of McDaniels and BB being the smartest person in the room approved it. Now we run the risk of losing Browner, Revis, hell Dmac might change his mind, then Brady will retire. Kraft moves the team. All this because we had to bring back Develin.

 

[PatsFan2]

Ok...not exactly the Big Name signing we were looking for also a EFRA is not really a FA.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I like Develin. Seemed like when he played, the offense had a bit of an attitude. I'm glad hes back.

Develin isn't a domino, he's an osmium weeble-wobble.
