Patriots Sign WR Kenny Britt (Edit)

[RobertWeathers]

I hadn’t even considered cutting Dorsett, but it’s possible. I had just assumed that he’d be a cheap option under contract through the summer, with the hopes of sticking.

$0 cap hit if cut and due a $450k roster bonus in 2018. Mouse nuts but if BB doesnt think he'll make the team next year, why not wack him now?

I am in Cleveland and watched the games (painful) and read all the Browns forum stuff this year. Britt was a locker room cancer. He was a bad influence on Corey Coleman. They were both sent home one game for missing curfew. He had a severe case of the dropsies too. The fans really hated him and he was going to be a goner as soon as Sashi Brown was let go. Hue didn't want to play him at all and preferred the scrub waiver wire guys like Treggs or Williams. Britt picked up a good guaranteed retirement paycheck here this year very similar to the one Dwayne Bowe got last year.

Well I also wouldn't want to play for a Team who's name is the color of Excrement. Britt has an excuse.

Probably depth, Mitchell's not coming back this season based on this signing imo.

Cooks
Hogan
Amendola
Dorsett
Britt

That's 5 WRS doubt we carry 6 so I take it Mitchell's done for the season

I’m guessing that this is the case.

Big dude. Can he block? Cuz we could use someone who can actually chip the DE on the right side.................DWAYNE!

 

[RobertWeathers]

You know we have wr problems when we start signing free agents this late in the season. It showed last night. If someone plays that tight a coverage last night our playoff run won’t look good. Im surprised we didn’t adjust better but considering we they double Cooks, Hogan was hurt and Dola the only real contributed it’s understandable.

They need Gronk back and Tom and Hogs healthy. That'll cure a lot of what ailes them

You could be right. That would be a surprise though, especially for those who have been pointing out his “improvement” lately.

Zero snaps last night and need slots for Gronk and Britt. He's gotta be on the list along with Freeny, Grissom, Reedy. And they saw snaps.

 

[RobertWeathers]

And he’s going to absorb the playbook in the next few games? Boy, am I skeptical.

I always wonder what Tom thinks of these moves. Hes either excited because he has a relationship with the player from somewhere or hes dreading getting this dude up to speed.

 

[borisman]

He can stretch the field. Something Dorsett has failed to do so far. Good luck to him. Hope for some success.

I heard we were going to sign Steven Jackson and split him out wide.

It’s got to be the latter, here.

supa Britt has posted numbers based on his physical ability I heard once before that he never mastered the Titans PB but posted solid numbers on ability alone. Is BB going to the well again?? Dorsett just has not worked out plain and simple.

 

[turkeyneck]

I don't see how this helps. There's no way Britt picks up this system in the remaining few games sufficiently to earn Brady's trust. The only thing it might be is as a red zone target.

Cooks's the wildcard. All that speed and they can't find a way to get him the ball?

 

[Deus Irae]

Zero snaps last night

That's unacceptable, IMO, in a game where the other speed receiver was getting shut down.

You’ll get no argument from me. I’ve never thought that he looked right the entire time, but was trying to be optimistic in terms of getting a full offseason in.

 

[FCB02062]

3 games left in the season, I don't see how this makes sense especially because Brady rarely integrates mid-season signings Into the offense. Only guy I can think of who made any contribution at all is Austin collie

There has to be an injury or Dorsett is a cancer

 

[RobertWeathers]

You could be right. That would be a surprise though, especially for those who have been pointing out his “improvement” lately.

I'm not an expert enough to say he has improved.

All I know is the guy doesn't play STs, has been here since Labor Day and did not play last night.

If I were him, I'd freshen up my resume.

Floyd could. I assume he wont see the field until week 17. It is a gamble but Mitchell is obviously out for the season and experienced receiver could at least draw some attention from the opposing DBs... like in playoffs two years ago when you had LaFell and Martin basically standing out there as decoys, to free up some space for Edelman and Amendola.

I agree, but it tells us what Bill thinks of Dorsett.
