This basically confirms the Patriots did not want Meyers, not the other way around. Guessing they did not offer him much money and he had to leave to get paid.

Good signing. But not if it's the only "big" thing they do. Break the bank for Orlando Brown and trade for D Hopkins and you'll have buzz back in the team Robert.

 

[PatsFan2]

This means war.

Now get Jaxon with the first pick and we're talking.

This means war.

Honestly i prefer Ju Ju over Jacoby all about the YAC.
Now we need to get a number 1.
And another good tight end.
If we could steal gardener Johnson from the Eagles that would be awesome.
But the Pats seem to be going after lunch pail hard working guys and I’m not against it.

 

[Bill Lee]

Why?

Rodgers just confirmed the Jets are the only place he's considering, so GB doesn't have any other options other than make a deal with NYJ.

Before Rodgers confirmed it, we could picture other teams being a possible destination, now that's gone.

And it's not like he can come back to GB after he's said he's out.

Not a good sign for the Patriots to sign Darius Slay or re-sign Harris. I don't buy too much into social media to tell what a player is thinking, but Slay is pretty up front.

This seems like a wash Meyers out Juju in. I'd say based on 2018 juju has a slightly higher ceiling. But you knew Meyers works here.

Still need more but this is an ok start.

Welp, we need to sign Orlando Brown at this point, because Jalen Carter just busted at his Pro Day, and we're taking him at #14.

Come on down big fella, and now try to stop Barmore, Carter, Wise, Uche and Judon. I dare ya!

Georgia DT Carter heavier, struggles at pro day

Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter, considered a potential top pick in the NFL draft, was nine pounds heavier than he was at the NFL combine about two weeks ago and couldn't finish his position drills at Georgia's pro day on Wednesday.

I won't even begin to pretend that I have a clue what that first embed tweet means or why it has anything to do with Damian Harris.

True, but by that same logic JJSS had to leave KC to get paid too.

From ESPN :

The departure in free agency of Jakobi Meyers to the Raiders was tied to New England's pursuit of Smith-Schuster; the Patriots didn't make a strong push to retain Meyers and now land Smith-Schuster for similar overall financial terms to what Meyers agreed to in Las Vegas.

Sources: JuJu to Patriots on 3-year, $33M deal

The Patriots are expected to sign wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to a three-year, $33 million deal, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

Original tweet talks about Darren Waller (who was traded from the Raiders to the Giants) being upset that Josh McDaniels "leaked" his marriage to the press at the combine, apparently. Quandre Diggs replies to it saying "Patriot Way" bashing Josh McDaniels (how would Quandre Diggs know...?) and then Darius Slay jumped on it bashing it as well, basically saying "yeah I dealt with the same thing with Matt Patricia and people thought I was the jerk." Damien Harris then re-tweeted Slay, which could mean any number of things - either that Harris isn't a fan of how some things are done in New England, or that he didn't like either Josh McDaniels or Matt Patricia.

Come on man. You got paid.

Yeah, you can clearly read into how Slay feels about going to the Patriots. It is less clear about Harris.

I can agree but I think the Buyer is always at mercy of the seller.
What do you see the compensation ending up?
I think it’s 1000 percent Mims is involved and a mid round I’m sticking to that.

I think it’s a first. If it’s less than that then the Pack got fleeced.

 

[upstater1]

Come on man. You got paid.

But he wanted to stay.

It's a natural reaction

What’s the latest on the rumor mill?
