Slater's back

[BadMoFo]

As expected.

So in theory Cordarelle Patterson would be taking Bademosi's spot as gunner then with Slater sticking around, and Patterson also will be the kick returner who can play some wide receiver although that role is likely limited here. I'll say this, I'd be stunned if the Pats don't have the best special teams unit in the league next year.

Now on to the offense and defense.....

 

[WaterfallJumper]

As expected.

Best news of the day. I hope Slater finishes his career here. While it's almost impossible for a ST only player to make the HoF, he might have a shot if he racks up more pro bowls / all pro awards. I don't think he'll make it, but for a 5th round pick, he's provided sensational value. One of my all time favorite Patriots off the field, too.

 

[ATippett56]

As expected.

Never defect to the Squealers.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

It does leave unanswered the question of who would lead the locker room breakdowns if he wasn't here. My guess was DMac, I think he did one when Slater was out last year and didn't make a road trip.

How long until BSPN runs a story questioning if Slater's visit with Pittsburgh was just a spy job to collect info for Belichick?

Wonder what this contract looks like. I'm sure Pittsburgh knew they had no shot at him.

 

[Foxypats]

Whew !!!!! Best news .

The fact that Aaaawwwweeeee Yeeeeaaaaahhhh! stays at Foxboro means most in this deal.

Purge Jordan Richards from the roster, then we talk.

 

[VectorPrime]

Thank god, who else would do the post game locker room breakdown?

 

[long distance]

Id be surprised if the contract is not solidly protected against inj. - and that was probably a reason for hesitation of St.Matthew

 

[maust]

Visited Pittsburgh, signed with New England. Guess the 'fun factor' isn't all it's cracked up to be.

 

[Jimke]

Nice to see a long time player re-sign to finish out his career.

 

[Deus Irae]

Welcome back, A.C.

Did he at least get a cupcake?

Big for the ST unit. Maybe even bigger for the locker room.
