My Predictions
1. Nate Solder - Released. We have our backup tackles performing admirably so far and Solder isn't the LT he once was.
2. Malcolm Butler - Released. He hasn't brought the same level of play from the past and he is going to be 28. Doesn't seem like having a 28 year old corner on a long-term deal would be the best move - especially when we have contributors playing on a similar level lower on the depth chart.
3. Burkhead - Signed to another 1 year.
4. Bademosi - 2 year deal. He played really well and he's gonna be cheap enough for the team to resign.
5. Slater - Released.
6. Fleming - Signed if possible but a weak OT class could jack up the salary.
7. Amendola - Released.
8. Lewis - Signed to a 2 year deal.
9. Waddle - Signed to a long-term deal.
In the draft, I see us picking up a DE in the 1st round and then a CB and OT in 2nd round. Then I see a RB, S, and WR being picked up.
Pretty good, except I don't see them releasing Amendola - dude is money and isn't expensive.
Solder might be back, but not at top money, I agree.
I think they try to get Burkhead for more than 1 year...maybe 3?
And I don't think the Pats go high for a TE in the draft, unless there's a stud hanging around out there. They like Allen more than many here do.
