PATRIOTS NEWS Official 2024 Free Agency Thread - Day 1

[Ross12]

Starting "official" threads for each day of signings to keep up with things since the existing thread is over 1K posts at this point. We can start a new thread each day this week, and then a new rolling one next week - and for any signings or trades that the Patriots make (or any big signings or trades by other teams) we can start a new thread for those too.

So feel free to start posting news here about signings, rumors, reporting interest, etc as it relates to the Pats but also any notable stuff for other teams too. Let's hope for some solid moves.

If they restructure Juju by converting most of his $7M guaranteed salary into a signing bonus and then cutting him as a June 1st designation, they'd gain back around $3M of cap space with about $5.6M in dead money next year.

JU JU back to KC?
Parker to Cincy to replace Higgins?

I would give juju another year full healthy

Will be a big loss for us.

If his market explodes to play as a guard then the Pats should walk away. I love Onwenu but they need him as a tackle and he's only a B+ tackle. Can't be backing up the brinks truck for guys that are a B+. He's an A+ guard but they are set at guard between Strange and Sow, and Mafi is probably OK with some development. I'd probably roll with Okorafor at RT before dropping over $20M AAV on Onwenu.

Classic movie.

Yeah, as long as we add a draft pick at RT too.

From a weight and skill perspective yeah

The market is officially OPEN. Expect multiple deals to roll in within the next 5 min across the NFL.

But how is that possible since tampering is illegal (/sarcasm)?
