Official Free Agency 2018

What was the money like

5 yr deal that seems long

Again shows that there is on the one hand the opinion of fans and then on the other the opinion of coaches and GMs.

I felt he got a bad rap here.

So are the Patriots actually going to do anything besides stand by and let all the other teams get better?

lol, free agency hasn't even started yet

The Pats have already traded for a solid nose tackle, which is a great first step towards addressing some areas of need.

This $$ is stupid. Albert Wilson gets 8 per year? Please BB sign Danny (a much better player) to a cheaper contract.

If Danny wants he can definitely get some coin in this market. He’s arguably one of the 3 best WRs remaining in FA.

Ignore everything after the first two years. Essentially all NFL contracts have turned into 2 year deals with guarantees not spreading farther than that. Rest is there to spread out the cap hit and increase the APY ego.

 

[Jimke]

No.

The Pats are going to stand by and watch while all the other teams spend a metric crap-tonne of cap space trying to get better, then swoop in and scoop up the much cheaper, underrated guys who actually will make them better.

SOP.

In other years I might agree with you. This year the top three offensive tackles
are Patriots. If they sit around too long, the cupboard will be bare.

Just Didn't fit the scheme right here. Glad he's had successes elsewhere though

And probably an overpay since buffalo is one if not the worst FA destination.

They are waiting to hear back from those top players what their respective FA offers were and then they will inform them if they want to match that offer or not. You will have to be patient as anybody else.

His old d coach is the head coach I'm curious
But I prefer Shelton

Seems likely to me that most agents for Pats' UFAs give the Pats a sort of "right of first refusal" on any offers their clients get, so there's probably no need for the Pats to be pre-emptive.

16 mila year for SAMMY WATKINS>?!

haha wowww....

Thats a joke.. Sammy Watkins production has been average since being in the league, not to mention he's had a slew of injury problems..



$16m/year for that guy? hahaha, say goodbye to Brandin Cooks next year

 

[Love The Drake]

We better learn to draft receivers.

 

[oceansizer]

Old friend Danny is looking for a new team.

You are assuming that these players will give the Patriots a chance to match
the offers.

Only about $9M more to go to get just under the cap. More than that to resign their own UFAshttps://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/973556878583255040
