Player Signing Pats bringing back Bentley

[DW Toys]

add hicks and flowers as well

Like your thinking Cousin,
Would welcome both options.
Good morning all and a good day. Good Saturday morning breakfast of two strips of bacon and a couple of over easy/medium fired eggs. Of course had to share the bacon with my two dogs and cat.... so.let's call it one piece. Coffee (coconut and mocha), orange juice and a delicious chocolate croissant. I had a small plate of berries to top it off.

I am gonna spit ball some with some trades and F/A picks you can ponder on.

First some trades I would like to see:

NUMBER #1-WR Laviska Shenault from the Jags is available. He might be the Deebo Samuel here. Runs wildcat. He played about 1/3rd of his snaps in the slot. He has size at 6'1" 227lbs. Mid 4.5's speed for a big kid. CHEAP! 1.8MM. No excuses Bill.

" 63 receptions for 619 yards but averaged less than 10 yards per reception and had no touchdowns. Nevertheless, Shenault is a talented player whose production in 2021 might have been affected by the dysfunction Urban Meyer created. Viska is pretty good at creating yards after contact and can also get deep".

Strengths

• Played all three wide receiver spots at Colorado
• Mixes speed with squat-rack strength after the catch
• Superb combination of size, strength and speed
• Forward lean and early burst into routes
• Eats into cushions faster than cornerbacks expect
• Sudden hands to stab high fastballs on first two levels
• Silky smooth deep-ball tracker with second gear to run under it
• Graceful body adjustments in mid-air for 50/50 balls
• Excellent quickness to gather and squared to QB
• Carves out last-second catch space with instincts and positioning of a rebounder
• Big frame and elite hand strength are made for combat catches
• Effective direct-snap option with power of a big running back
• Versatility could force defenses to spend additional practice time on him

The Jags just signed Jones and Kirk to big $$$$$. Maybe a mid round pick. They WILL trade him.

NUMBER #2-CB James Bradberry from the Giants is available. You would have to adjust his contract for sure. A top ten CB rated by some. The Giants are desperate for CAP. Send the 5th embarrassment you got for Mason. It will stop the torches and pitchforks.

Number#3-Andy Issabella from the Cards for Harry. Why not? Both need a change of scenery. Issabella saves us a little $.



Now Bill at least one player in FA who can make an impact. We know we have $ issues.

Sign LB Bobby Wagner Nuff said. This would be the only "Big" signing.
Put him next to Bentley and you might be O.K.

Sign DT Larry Ogunjobi. This is a typical BB sneaky sign. Had a $40mm deal nixed by the Bears because of a foot possibility. Only 27. 6'3" 305lbs and 4.97 40 speed! This so called injury might be to the advantage of the Pats "He had a career year for the Bengals last season, starting 16 games and finishing with seven sacks and 49 tackles. He has played in 76 of a possible 81 regular-season games over his five-year career".
Back load a similar deal but save on CAP by incentive laden year one. Might have been the Bengals best D Lineman.

Re-sign OT Trent Brown (back up plan RT Daryl Williams who only gave up 4 sacks for Josh and the Bills in 2020).

Sign Trey Flowers and DE Akiem Hicks

Another off the wall signing would be J.C. Tretter who was solid at C last year for the Browns. He could play Guard. He was cut for CAP. He would start at RG perhaps and take the Karras role of back-up center. A upgrade over Karras. Very good in pass protection.

My last move those will hate. In case we can't pry Bradberry, Patrick Peterson CB who is younger than McCourty. Played at a high level for the Vikings and is the Rodney Harrison on field presence BB admires. Can still handle a punt or two. Says he is not looking for big$. Wants security. 3 years back loaded? Then Draft a CB whom he can teach.

O.K, Then the FA wasn't a complete disaster.

I would feel a lot better about our offensive line if we could resign rot brown, or draft faalale!

If the Jags are really interested in dumping him, he'd make a lot of sense on cheap money. Nice catch.

NUMBER #2-CB James Bradberry from the Giants is available. You would have to adjust his contract for sure. A top ten CB rated by some. The Giants are desperate for CAP. Send the 5th embarrassment you got for Mason. It will stop the torches and pitchforks.

He's going to get near to JC Jackson money and is on the last year of his deal with almost all of it salary. Don't see it. Pats have been linked to Coleman, and I'd like that. Pats had, and lost, 3 corners I liked a lot: Coleman, Roberts, and LeBlanc. They liked all 3, too, I believe, but the numbers game doomed them.

Roberts and Coleman are both FAs.

Number#3-Andy Issabella from the Cards for Harry. Why not? Both need a change of scenery. Issabella saves us a little $.

Everyone's been saying this forever. Best part about it is that it might save us a little CAP. Do either really move any needles?

I'd be shocked - he's going to get a boatload of $$$$. Rather have the young'uns show what they have, honestly. With Bentley, McGrone, McMillan, Uche, and Perkins (and Jennings?), let's sort it out before going big on an aging LB. LBs usually don't age well.

Bears had him for 2/12, but he failed the physical. Shrug.

Re-sign OT Trent Brown (back up plan RT Daryl Williams who only gave up 4 sacks for Josh and the Bills in 2020).

They really could use another OT (but I don't hate Cajuste, I really don't.) But yes, Brown or Collins, please.

Sign Trey Flowers and DE Akiem Hicks

Two of my favorite players. Flowers just makes too much sense.

Another off the wall signing would be J.C. Tretter who was solid at C last year for the Browns. He could play Guard. He was cut for CAP. He would start at RG perhaps and take the Karras role of back-up center. A upgrade over Karras. Very good in pass protection.

Hoping for Bates. Hoping for a draft pick, IOL, and hoping that Desjarlais is pretty good.

My last move those will hate. In case we can't pry Bradberry, Patrick Peterson CB who is younger than McCourty.

I do hate it. Can't keep hoarding the kids in the shallow end. Get Coleman and/or Roberts, draft someone, and I think Wade will get some serious play time this year.

 

[captain stone]

DT I think is fine.

Wrong...or should I say Ja Wrong?

 

[captain stone]

If you don't like Bentley, I'm not sure any amount of money is good, but that seems about right to me.

Ja Wrong.

 

[captain stone]

Ok. What's your evaluation?

Don't know about his... But mine is: NOT ONE ****ING PENNY more than one-year, NON-guaranteed at the veteran minimum.

"paging cap'n stone, paging cap'n stone... Jahwrong has become Jahright-now"

His bank account has become Ja-Right Now, that's for sure...

 

[captain stone]

signings are incoming LFGO

"LFGO"?

 

[captain stone]

I would feel a lot better about our offensive line if we could resign rot brown, or draft faalale!

I want nothing to do with Fatalala; we need a LT so Wynn/Lose can move inside to LG, his Obviously More Natural pro position... Onwenu can play RT if necessary.

 

[captain stone]

NFL: Holodeck Moriarty chess

Bill: Hitting his head with rock... repeatedly

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

"LFGO"?

Lets fecking go

 

[NormZauchin]

If he played like a Bentley, I'd have no trouble with his resigning.

 

[jdlboot14]

Anderson wasn't right all preseason, I remember waiting for him to show up. Maybe he wasn't at full strength and then got injured. But, BB seemed to think he could help at DE, so I hope he can compete with Wise. But, he's not an answer at Edge.
I guess I wouldn't mind Flowers coming back, if very cheap. But, If they don't spend big $$ on Brown or Collins at OL, then what about trying to get Clowney? That would shake things up. He and Judon would be a legit tandem (if Judon doesn't flame out half the year again... dude is on notice!)
