Player Signing Now Hunter Henry signs with New England:

[Kdo5]

Gronk would still be the best TE on the team by a not insignificant amount if he was here.

Not sold yet that we are a playoff team. Thankfully there is more to come including the draft and showing us the plan at QB.

Hard to say. I feel good about the majority of the roster (I presume w/some more moves coming). We went 7-9 with awful play by Cam. Can he get much worse?

I like to believe 10-6 is a realistic expectation as constituted or better with a legitimate QB.

Agholor isn't old - he's 27.

Wasn't he always banged up with the Eagles? Avg NFL career is a few short years. He's on yr 6 or 7, correct?

Are you drunk ?

 

[Newton England]

OK maybe but that doesn't change his physical deterioration.

He looked healthy as a horse last week of season vs. NY ?

Against a disinterested Jets team.

Tampering?

Don't give Goodell any ideas.

Being healthy doesn't have anything to do with the opposing team.

Health and a degradation in physical ability are not the same thing. Speed. Motor skills. Arm strength, Etc.

 

[archstanton543]

Being healthy doesn't have anything to do with the opposing team.

Having a good day against them does.

 

[d312]

In a couple years these contracts may be bargains due to the tv deal and the fact that it will at least be $20million higher due to no covid bringing down the cap this year

Isn't Kraft the guy that negotiates the TV deals. Maybe he has inside information on what can be expected.

I mentioned it in another post, but 31 other teams sent scouts to Lance's pro day, so we really don't know NE's actual level of interest in him...you would think if they were super interested then BB would have been there himself...

Makes sense, but maybe BB didn’t want to tip his hand showing significant interest in Lance..who knows? Beauty of it all is that we’ll find out soon enough.

Florio is madly smashing that keyboard right now. Lol

He was too busy having lunch at the Ground Round with Drew Rozenhaus.

 

[Biffins]

Why would receivers want to come here was a mantra...

Because you overpay..........

 

[farn]

Because you overpay..........

Overpay is relative. If the cap jumps 10-15M$ a year due to increased revenue, is it still an overpay ? What IS the fair amount for the new FAs if you believe they were overpaid ?

So what happens to our two third round rookie TEs?

 

[TheRainMaker]

It's pretty clear Cam was the key to all these FA signings.

 

[VJCPatriot]

uhh what?

OMG the Patriots just SIGNED Everybody in Free Agency!!

Henry and Jonnu Smith were best of the TE crop available.

Count me as seriously IMPRESSED. BB Just made a Complete Overhaul of the offense using the almighty Benjamin!!

So what happens to our two third round rookie TEs?

They learn from the bench and special teams where they belong until they get proper seasoing.
