Enjoy getting cut in 2-3 years to make room for Flacco's bloated salary Eric. Oh, and the race wars.

Pretty sure we were never in on him

OK, We're moving on to Long, Laurinaitis, Cook, Kelvin Belcher and Boldin.....and maybe Foster.

Do you wanna give Ozzie time to actually rebuild them lol...?

So far, this has been a very lousy free agency

I'd rather have him there than in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh should have been in the AFCCG (at least) LAST year.

I don't know, a lot of their former core players are old, like Suggs and Dumervil, or have left like Kelechi Osmele, Daryl Smith, and Haloti Ngata last year, and their quarterback is coming off an ACL tear. They haven't done a great job restocking since their last Super Bowl run; they're definitely in a transition period right now.

Yep. Ozzie Newsome is a good talent evaluator but they seem to be digging a deep hole financially. They will likely be on the playoff bubble but I don't see them as a Super Bowl caliber team the next couple of years.

My expectations were low to begin with.

 

[Sciz]

Honestly, I just wanted to see Weddle with the Patriots to see how they would make it work. It never made much sense on paper, considering that 90% of suggestions here were to move Chung to the basically nonexistent third LB role.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

And I am not convinced that Chris Long can make any major contributions...his production has been in a free fall these last 2 years.

 

[BobDigital]

Well I am curious if the Pats plan to sign any other players of note that are not just JAGs

 

[Mack Herron]

Back to the bargain basement for a value RB and WR.

Don't worry, there will be a PatsFan member at your side immediately upon any future signing to assure you that the new player is indeed, and will never be anything more than, a JAG.

He's been hurt the last couple years, and even when he wasn't he was on a team where he played relatively sparingly due to an embarrassment of talent on the defensive line. There's little risk assuming the money is right, and the reward could be substantial.

Terrible. When the only guy you currently have is, and no disrespect to Kearse, is a guy who you basically blew away with an offer shee (i.e. making it so high Buffalo couldn't match it), it's disturbing. With all of the glaring holes that were brought to the light of day in the AFCCG, this is what they have done? With the possible 4 game suspension of Brady looming, and next to zero FA moves....

Even by this time last year they had Sheard. And Chandler.

I agree but other than RB they are in good shape overall. The market has been ridiculous and I get why they would pass on most of these deals and understands why they would reserve their cap space to re-sign their key players however after this free agency I don't see why any of their key, players, other than Butler, wouldn't opt to go to free agency. They can tie up Butler for 2-3 years with tags and he will be 28 when he hits the market but if I'm the agent for Collins, Hightower, or Jones I would tell them to go on the open market and make huge money. After this free agency so of them will get well over 60 millin and could top out at 90-100. The Patriots aren't giving any of them that kind of money. It's a discouraging take but when Malik Jackson and Vernon are getting the deals they got them that appears to be the market. I would try to sign Hightower and Butler now and let Jones walk after 2016 for the comp pick. I would tag Collins if they can't sign him and get at least two more seasons out of him while drafting pass rushers to replace he and Jones.

Why?
N u would rather the Pats do?
