Report: Patriots re-sign Matthew Slater to a two-year contract

[FCB02062]

Bill will sign Ebner for 3 yrs 12 million next..Bills special teams were SO GOOD that when he relied on them to block a punt w/o a returner, they failed miserably every time...but yeah, that blocked punt and TD vs buffalo in September was so awesome...

24 career playoff games 11 solo tackles, 0 punt blocks 0 forced fumbles, 0 touchdowns, 0 forced fumbles

But but but he makes locker room speeches about sweet nectar! Sign the beast!

Great to have Slater back, one of the best special team players ever!!!

24 career playoff games 11 solo tackles, 0 punt blocks 0 forced fumbles, 0 touchdowns, 0 forced fumbles

You wrote 0 forced fumbles twice...



...though I understood it to mean 0 fumble recoveries anyway.

So if all of Slater, Bethel & Terry Brooks (who feckin SUCKS at Safety, BTW) are returning in 2020, do we really need Ebner (at even a dollar above vet minimum) here too?

Why not simply ask whether we should sign any special teamer at a dollar over vet minimum? That is your real question and position isn't it?

That's not the extension we are looking for

Sorry...we need to wait until next offseason to extend Sanu.

Slater was drafted the same year as Jerod Mayo and Kevin O'Connel, both whom are coaches now.
