2020/2021 Patriots Roster Transaction Thread.

[DaBruinz]

Hopefully, a mod will see fit to sticky this thread so that we don't have to keep searching for it if it goes off the top page and that the 2019/2020 thread will be locked.

NOTE: This year we have a NEW roster move. The opt-out due to Covid. The player's contract will TOLL (meaning it won't advance). They'll receive either $150K or $300K based on whether or not they are in the "High Risk" category.

Only guy I truly want back is Slater out of that list.

 

[mgteich]

I'd be fine if every one the defensive players re-signed. We had one of the very best defenses in the NFL. On the other hand, our offense couldn't score 15 against the Titans.

KVN is a goner, he wants the big bucks, BB won’t pay up.
Maybe Jamie Collins is worth bringing back since neither Roberts or Hightower can cover.

Chung is a likable guy but he is up there in age and he has been banged up for a while, this position must require a big upgrade.

 

[DaBruinz]

Guys. The point of this thread, as it always has been is to TRACK the transactions.. Not to discuss what we want to have happen. There are at least 2 other threads going that I know of for that.

 

[mgteich]

Quite right. We apologize. This thread is AWESOME. We should respect the rules.

[Bourne Again Christian]

Would like to see Calhoun back on a low contract.
I think Obi could be a developmental replacement for Chung.
He's definitely in the mix.
I think Chung lost 2 steps last season.
Could he make the change to linebacker?
I love everything Chung is a true BB player I hope he's back at a very reasonable cost.
