Unfinished Free Agent Business Before The Draft - Is There Any?

[mgteich]

We could sign more free agents. Belichick always surprises. We certainly could sign another corner. We could sign Brown or Wendell if they are healthy enough to pass a physical.

However, I think that we are entering a one month quiet time before the draft.

Perhaps, we'll send a 2nd or 3rd round draft for a player.

Other than a RB and CB that could be signed well after the draft, I think that this team is ready to take the field.

Of course, Belichick will continue to look for upgrades, up until the "final" 53, and for at least a couple of weeks beyond.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Let's see.

Josh Gordon

Bring back Randy Moss

Calvin Johnson

Larry Fitzgerald.

Am I missing anyone?

 

[Marqui]

Mike Williams
Brandon Browner/Tarell Brown
Arian Foster

 

[The Brandon Five]

I think they might want to wait and see what shakes out first. Also need to work out some extensions and restructures first (IMHO). Without details of the Pot Roast deal, not sure how much room they have left under the cap right now. I assume they will reserve some cap for mid-season signings after the usual injuries and performance-based attrition occur. Other than OL and RB, not sure there are many glaring weaknesses. Mike Williams would be nice (at the right price), but I would think that would have to signal the end of the Aaron Dobson era. I mean, how many WR's can they carry?

Amendola, Danny
Carter, DeAndre
Dobson, Aaron
Edelman, Julian
Harper, Chris
Hogan, Chris
Martin, Keshawn
Slater, Matthew
Washington, Nate

 

[Joey007]

Bring back Tarell Brown or a vet CB like Brown, and either bring back Blount or bring in Foster and I'm good.

 

[Love The Drake]

Way this offseason has been im expecting a trade for a stud back thinking Bernard
However I would settle for APs backup kid has skills

The Aaron Dobson "era"? Why does he matter at all? He is one of many who will be competing for the 4th and 5th WR roster spots. 2-3 of these players are probably not even signed yet.

Mike Williams
Brandon Browner/Tarell Brown
Arian Foster

"Brown-er? I hardly know her."

 

[supafly]

Pass on Browner, though. Too many penalties = lots of bad situational football.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Bring back Blount and Brown and I think that's a wrap for Free Agency.

 

[woolster22]

Nope, brown took blount's spot. I'd expect rb and wr for 2 of our first 4 picks. The usual smattering of ol and defensive BPA to follow. That Georgia rb late seems a no brainer. ..

Remember after 1 week of FA the pats did near nothing? Overall I would say the Pats have been one of the more active teams and a "winner" in FA for what that is worth.

My main needs are

#1 3rd OT (I think they draft this though)
#2 RB (though frankly i want to address this next year when the draft is better fo RB and also i just don't value between the tackles RBs much)
#3 4th CB (I like Butler/Ryan/Coleman fairly well and Roberts is a maybe)

Frankly though there is not much left to do.

I am thinking they may jump up for something at this point depending on what is there.

All the players listed are on the curren roster.

I'd like to think Roberts might be something "special". Not banking on it but one can hope.

He did show some something and most pats fans agrees on that but coming back from any injury is a question mark particularly for a young player who is in his most important developmental years.

 

[NewFeep]

I'll second this! throw in williams or gordon and it's off to the draft for me............

 

[patsbrasilpatriotas]

I think we take an WR/OT/DE/DT with our first choices, if we dont extend Sheard untill the draft.

If we do extend him, I think we grab WR/OT/CB/DT ... BPA/BPA/BPA....

[rookBoston]

I think we need a 3rd QB and maybe a 4th

 

[DarrylS]

After last season can never have enough O linemen.. and of course the next Malcolm Butler.

 

[long distance]

only RB left with question mark

crazy offseason brings another important by-product:
with eliminating needs they can go exclusively for talent&future in the draft

and if some reclamation project (cooper, mcclellan ...) lives to their potential
than this was a monster (& master) FA

and if the locker room holds (gronk, the new characters etc.)
this might be a monster season

i'm even not worried about injuries anymore
(and there will not be so many i'm sure)

though he'll never admit it
this is a strong answer to the league and that G guy

EDIT:
and suddenly the schedule looks quite tasty too
