PATRIOTS NEWS Official 2024 Free Agency Thread - Day 2

[Give Kraft A Hand]

I wonder what type of draft compensation Mike Williams would go for. The chargers need to shed a lot of salary before tomorrow so maybe he won’t cost much. Same for Keenan Allen.

I would love Higgins for a second, if he cost more than that I’m not sure it’s a smart move this early into the rebuild.

I mean the thing is if the Pats trade for a number 1, sign a LT and draft Daniels they might be a wildcard team. So it doesn't have to be the bottoming out, doom and gloom rebuild...but it probably will be

 

[Love The Drake]

Eagles are having a day where do they get the cap from.
We are spending like we have no frickin cap.

 

[DaBruinz]

hope for the upcoming days

S: Blackmon, Fuller, Gardner Johnson, Curl, Simmons
Edge: Jennings
DT: Rankins, Armstead
OT: Tyron Smith for 1-2 years --> he can be a great Mentor for the hopefully day 2 OT pick
WR: trade
CB: Howard

Just say NO to Gardner-Johnson and Smith.

I'd prefer Kendall Fuller over Xavien Howard.

 

[Love The Drake]

Eagles signed CGJ
Chiefs just opened up 22 mil in cap space by reworking Mahommes deal.

 

[slash83]

Damn today was underwhelming.

 

[Patsgofor4]

I wonder if we could do a trade + pick swap like this. But who would we trade that anyone would be interested in? Judon is the only one I can think of.

I would be willing to throw Deus and Captain Stone into any trade, to sweeten the pot. Go big or go home.

 

[Ross12]

Justin Jefferson + pick #11 + pick #42 in exchange for pick #3. Take a QB at #11 like McCarthy or Nix and use picks #34 and #42 on a tackle prospect and a high end WR2.

Edit- Callahan at the Herald indicated he expects Williams or Allen would only cost a late round pick.

I’d do Willliams for a third or fourth.

They’re gonna get Mahomes a WR.

Pipe dream.

 

[DaBruinz]

You have to send comp for them though. I have to imagine at least a 2nd. You could draft a really good WR this year at #34.

No way.. Look what Carolina got for Burns. None of those three are a bigger impact type player.


A 3rd/5th would do it.. but I wouldn't do it until after the draft. Wait until you see what you actually need and then it's also with next year's funds.. not this years.

 

[Love The Drake]

They’re gonna get Mahomes a WR.

Ridley’s new landing spot I bet

 

[Patsgofor4]

They’re gonna get Mahomes a WR.

Chiefs needed the cap space,until they can trade Sneed and wipe that 19m off of their books, but watch them swoop in and sign Ridley.

 

[slash83]

Wolf sitting on his ass today, all that cap space and needs and basically no upgrades to the team.

 

[Real fan 02]

That being Said Fuch Calvin Ridley.

I'll say it.. need to try and sign marquis brown.

 

[Joey007]

Aiyuk 100% out of those three.

I agree. But he may cost a 1st, and we aren’t giving up 3.

I have not heard much from the Captain lately
He can ruffle feathers
Extremely knowledgeable and one of my favorites

The problem with the trade is that your likely settling for a QB that isn't a fit for you at 11. Much like Jones falling to the Pats at 15. As much as I'd love to add Jefferson, you'd be hamstringing the Pats at QB. I don't want the Pats to be in a situation again like they were with Jones. Though part of that was McDaniels not sticking around longer, I admit.

I think that, if they trade down to 11, I'd much rather grab Odunze or Nabers or an OT or possibly trade down than grabbiing a QB that you aren't sold on. Looking at a QB later on whom doesn't have the huge financial investment that you can move on from after 2 years if he's not working out with MINIMAL financial pain would be more beneficial than sinking numerous 1st round picks into a position the way that the Bills and Jets had to.

 

[Joey007]

The WR situation is what it is right now. Still holding judgement since very little movement has happened in the market.

But I’m getting a little agitated we haven’t signed more pieces yet in general. We have to bring in some new faces here. This isn’t a “run it back” team.
