Golden Tate to NYG

[Ring 6]

Which "good" receiver are the Pats trading for? Yeah they can draft one. But it takes awhile to grasp the system.

At what point do you learn that we have way more history than necessary to know they know what they are doing, it will work out, and we don’t have a game for 6 months?
Relax. Enjoy the success rather than trying to the first one to guess there is a failure coming.

Disappointing but when it’s your last deal you’re going to prioritize the guaranteed $$$. The other offers must have really sucked to go play with Eli Manning.

Eli will lead him into a season ending injury in the 1st quarter of the 1st game.

Anyone heard anything on Malcolm Mitchell's progress? I know it's a longshot, but if he could come back anywhere close to how he played before the injury.......

Somewhere around the same progress as Johnny Manziel’s rehab and return to NFL stardom?

Makes sense to me.

As I remembered early this off-season that he already had a ring (not even one of the first 5 names that comes to me when thinking of the 2013 Seahawks), knew it was a longshot he'd come here and honestly was a little less interested. When it comes to old vets I sometimes prefer the guy who's never won and is dying for his ring.

If you already have the ring, you're going to go for the big money on your last deal.

It seems like most UFAs these days want the money instead of the ring, especially in light of all the concussion issues players are having. They want to be set for life.

Seriously we have the GOAT and no one besides White and Edelman for him to throw to. It's like having a sports car that never gets taken out of the driveway.

Can't be that bad .

He's getting there.

We had 16 million and a bunch of our own guys to resign first. We are an older team and need to get younger. We have a nice array of draft choices.

With that being said this was not going to be a free wheeling off season of veteran FA’s being signed under our present circumstances. We will pick up some second tier FA’s. We will play some of our draft choices from last year that went through the grooming process. We will pick our draft choices, some will play this year while some will get the Foxboro Flu while being groomed for the following years.

Bottom line: We will be in contention for another strong playoff run like we always are. This is how we do it

No it’s like having a 4 wheel drive plow truck to get through a blizzard.

So Golden Tate, who should've been a Patriot from Day 1, will now never become one. Sad.

That's awesome. Patriots will have a bionic, indestructible wr!

Man that sucks, hopefully Bill finally draft a good WR.

I think we’ve fine just fine without him.

 

[venecol]

I'm ok without this guy.
