I’d be psyched to see him at center. He dominated when he played there.

Rather have Andrews at a lesser price and invest the money in offensive talent.

Yup, Bucs window is 2 years. Mine as well bring everyone back and worry about the rebuild in 2023.

It's actually crazy, but that team is still incredibly young so you never know. They have lots of first and second year guys at positions like OL, WR, LB, and especially secondary. That secondary is incredibly cheap and the reason why they can spend elsewhere.

 

[long distance]

Please make this happen Bill!!!

You and @DaBruinz deserve it

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

I'd disagree. Vea is great for sure, but he was out for a fair period of time, but their defense was still solid. I think that defense is just a collection of excellent talents at DL, LB, and a little less so on the secondary.

Really? I think you’re selling short vea. Idk if the defense looks as great in the playoffs. He’s a space eater.

Andrews should cost less than 10 mill, and between him and Thuney at 15 mill or higher, I don't see enough of a difference.

Can we stop with this at least in this thread? Nobody's moving anywhere in FA

If the Pats have decided that assuming they sign Andrews that they are moving Wynn inside and they are all set on o-line barring someone falling on their lap, then yes, Wynn could be moved inside in FA.

Belichick tried to set his roster as much as possible now so he can prioritize his personnel moves and make a plan. He doesn't say, "Let's get through free agency and then determine if we will move Wynn inside and if we don't, we can look for a starting left guard when free agency ends and only journeymen guards are available to fill the left guard spot."

Belichick knows now whether Wynn will be moved inside or not. I could be assuming wrong, but based on his moves thus far, it seems to be the most logical move.

He definitely is, but that DL was still very dominant without him. The run d even without Vea was 1st/2nd.

OBJ, Gronk, Smith & Samuel... good haul so far

What the hell is this? Sharks of Vegas?

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

I like Hilton but his best days are behind him.

I like Hilton but his best days are behind him.

Even washed he's still the #1 on this team

 

[venecol]

$18 million / year (as the maximum value) - don't really think that's every penny he could have gotten. Wouldn't be surprised if he got other offers worth somewhat more

He was estimated to have a MV over $20M, that's a home town discount to run it back.

Seems legit, even Tom Brady announced a signing.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

What the hell is this? Sharks of Vegas?

Can't wait to see which host screws up first on a fake twitter Pats signing.

 

[Rob0729]

It's going to be funny how surprised people are when Wynn opens the season playing the exact same position he always has here.

He could be, but Trent Brown is a pure LT. Why did they trade for him to have two starting LTs and no LG? I could see them moving Wynn to RT rather than LG. I just cannot see Brown going to RT.

 

[DaBruinz]

OBJ, Gronk, Smith & Samuel... good haul so far

At least 3 of the accounts are fake..

 

[Joey007]

Tampa is now locked in for next year. Their remaining guys to resign should be easy to resign or would be very replaceable.

I expect them to focus on their front seven early in the draft since guys like David/JPP/Suh are aging.

 

[Froob]

Anybody think Thuney is actually going to return? That'd be wild. I guess he'd be center...?

 

[skinnydog]

That's a very fair price for Barrett

Reported the 2021 cap hit is only 5.6 million.

 

[DaBruinz]

Another IOL off the market: Market clearly isn't as robust as thought.
