Pre-Free Agency 2023

[JarOfMayo51]

I wonder if Duron Harmon would be a good fit to come back if the Pats lose Peppers, and DMac actually retires.
He just turned 32 - but still playing at a high level last season in LV. He knows this place well, and could be a solid vet to man the FS role while Bledsoe or whomever gets up to speed. He seems faster and still more physical than what DMac has been the last 2 years.

He'd be a great veteran plugin for a year or 2

Dmac is faster than him tho, people are way overplaying the "Devin is slow" this offseason for some reason, he's not what he was in his prime which was one of the fastest players in the league, but hes not slow

Basically a contract that says.. if the real geno smith decides to show up... then we can get out the contract. Lol lol

it says basically, you need to top your prior numbers each year to earn the escalators in the deal, and if we get someone better, we can cut you relatively easily

True, but he probably wasn't going to get a better deal anywhere else. So he's probably in the best place to prove he still has it, as he's going to find.

Jets released Berrios - I'm serious that I think he could do really well back where he started. He has Edelman-like qualities.
A year ago he produced more than Bourne & Agholor. And can back up M. Jones on PR and KR.

He's awful.

 

[rochrist]

agreed, I'm all for Berrios we need to find a WR that can full that slot role so that the offense can function better, I believe 3rd down back is strong jr. Those are 2 important patriots offensive staples

Then you might want to get one who's actually good.

Who would you like instead of him since he isn't good?

I always thought Jon Jones would be a very good FS for the Patriots. He's very fast, sees the field well and knows the schemes. With DMAC gone...I hope this is more possible. It's also harder to play man for CB's in their 30's however speed doesnt fade as fast.

Will be closely watching the Twitter account of Simon Charles next week. The guy is well connected and has a vast amount of inside knowledge when it comes to the NFL, the Patriots, and other topics.

For those unfamiliar with him, here he is. Felger is a huge fan of his, too, and often uses him as a source.

Spot on, I believe at times in the past when we're stacked in the secondary with both McCourty brothers, steph, & JC.
Jones played at safety on occasion.. it appears he's destined to resign he's back in town, he was seen doing charity events.
I hope he does! We still need some help at CB though..

Yes he has played FS on occasion. I think he would be really good there full time.

That's IF we resign Jon Jones ( which I hope we do) but I could see Jalen Mills moving to FS to help fill the void.

Who plays CB2 if Mills moves to FS? Mills isn't as fast as Jo. Jones either.

Mills was signed initially to play at free safety, But injuries at CB had him playing there.. he played safety at Philadelphia he actually was a ball hawk there. I feel he a better fit at safety than CB..

Good question.. as currently set up Jonathan Jones is listed at #1 jack is #2...

Need to add some veteran depth there

I honestly think this is how it will roll..

CB1 - Ja. Jones
CB2 - Mills
CB3 - Ma. Jones

And Jo. Jones at FS is what I am hoping for

I can see that... at CB since my Ramsey hopes are fading.. Sean Murphy- bunting is a player I'd like to pursue.. 6'1 tough, phys, fast and great ball skills.. he and Jack on the outside would be pretty solid.

I ultimately think Jack is going to end up being the guy as you listed.. Marcus in the slot only please!

Absolutely they will need depth....probably draft or FA. But I do think the "starters" at CB will go like that. Please no more Myles Bryant either.

I think Miles Bryant would make a hell of FS.
