Per Doug Kyed, the tryout took place last Thursday:

Their off-season numbers at LB look pretty ok to me already... I prefer they add another RB, NT & DE before TC starts next month.

Hope things go better here for Carson Wells at Gillette Stadium than they did for his namesake at the Hotel Eagle

Jim Kelly came from the USFL.

RB seems pretty crowded to me. Are you looking to fill out practice reps? Rham, Harris, Strong, Robinson, Montgomery (flex player). That seems like a full house.

I'm 100% with you on NT. Our DL has some nice pass rushing talent, but we're missing someone who can just clog up running lanes and punish blockers on the interior of the line. I don't see that changing this season, unfortunately. Draft focus next year, after OT?

Not that crowded if you consider how many LBs (13) & DBs (19) are already in the building, relative to the # usually expected to make the 53... Yes I am looking for at least one if not two more backs for practice/pre-season reps, because I consider those first 4 names to be virtual locks and would rather not see them have to take more hits than is necessary to get into game shape.

I would've drafted UConn DT Travis Jones at #54 in 2022, but the FO had let's just say other ideas... They seem to be ok with Guy, Godchaux & Carl Davis as their 0/1-techs; but similar to RB there aren't any others of that body type in the building to take those practice/pre-season reps...

I wish the title read “Patriots invite Fat Bastard to Camp.”
