PATRIOTS NEWS Rap: Christian Barmore back!

[PATSYLICIOUS]

We need another CB to pair with Gonzo no fly zone.

That should be one of our priorities in fa. Its a great draft too in cb but we should aim to check off as many boxes as we can before the draft

Exactly: I think we can get our WR and Offensive Linemen in FA25. After that we should really use our Draft picks carefully to fill out certain weak spots on the Defense. I am beginning to think it would be nice to get a CB or Edge Rusher Early on if that Player is available. I am really hoping that C Wallace kid compete for the RT Spot next year, it would make life so much easier for us. LT is a must in FA25 and we Draft a Player with Potential there down the road. Building a Solid Roster to Grow with your Young Franchise QB is the key.

Mayo is way too forthcoming sometimes...Strange is Done for year, just shut him down already. Week 11 and he ain't ready to practice?? Not holding my breath on this one hope he's 100% next season.

Patriots coach Jerod Mayo gives status update on OL Cole Strange

There is hope that New England Patriots guard Cole Strange is in the home stretch of his recovery timetable, but when speaking with media members, coach Jerod Mayo made it clear that the guard is not ready to practice yet. Strange has been out since last season battling a…

If we are to succeed in the Maye rookie contract window, we will sign a top WR or two AND a free safety (we have none).

AND THEN ???

CORNERS
Gonzales, Marcus Jones
Dial is the #6 ST/CB
(Who are the other THREE?)

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN
Onwenu
Lowe has a backup spot at least
(Who are the other EIGHT?)
=================
Sure, we need front six players for the future, but the need for 2025 and 2026 isn't nearly as serious as the above positions
DE
We need to extend Wise who is having a fine year and upgrade Ekuale who is not.

DT
Godchaux, Barmore, Pharms plus Roy or another backup (hopefully a top 5 draftee).

EDGE
White, Jennings plus Ximinez or Kgakoue or an upgrade

ILB
Tavai, Bentley, Ellis, Mapu plus another backup

 

[PatsFan2]

Really wanted to see LB Oshane Ximines play this year: oh well maybe next year.

Damn that doesn't sound good. I swear he was talking about Strange during camp like he wasn't that far off. He was always going on the pup list but it got he excited to think maybe he'd start practicing week 4. Now it sounds like they are going to use as much time as they can and I wonder if it might just be best to wait until next year.

I moved on in my mind: imagine getting him up to speed to play in our last two games and he gets' hurt?? That would not be wise.

Sorry to break it to ya but they’re gonna roll with Lowe as the LT in 2025. They might draft a backup but with their love fest for lowe, don't be surprised when they don't make it a priority.

I don't want to ignore the value of seeing him play but it certainly would be a shame and with such a small sample size it might not be worth it. Still I bet he'd like to play even if it's just 2 games.

 

[Ross12]

The DL had already shown decent improvement the last couple of weeks. Adding Barmore and Ngakoue to that group will be excellent.

Lord knows we've had more than enough shuffling this year but I'd be good with a plan of spending or drafting a first round left tackle and moving Lowe right but I might shed a tear of come next May Lowe is still penciled in as LT starter.

Best news this season since Drake starting! I wonder how long it will be before he plays. ?

Is there a reason why he's been on so many Teams after Jaxs?? It does seem like he can get to the QB.

Sneed or jaire please! I can't keep watching Marcus Hobbs and roller skates marco wilson

I agree he was beast with JAX.. we need all the edge rushers we can get.. now with Barmore back also with all the young guys who got playing time the defense can at least be better against the run.

Are you talking him??

L'Jarius Sneed, a cornerback for the Tennessee Titans, signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract that includes the following details: $55 million guaranteed, $20 million signing bonus, Average annual value of $19.1 million, and Base salary of $19,802,000 in 2024.

 

[Real fan 02]

Are you talking him??

Yes that's him. I think it was Schefter was mentioning before the deadline that Titans could move him.. that's a hefty contract.. probably Alexander would be more realistic especially with wolf having GB ties...

My guess would be next week.

Not sure what he actually needed to get cleared but you would think if he'd play Sunday then he'd have come back yesterday.

But also he's not coming back from injury. Obviously it takes time to get into playing shape but he really shouldn't need much time to at least start playing a small package of plays. So I think next week makes sense.

I know the reports were back in TC it was thinners he was on and that was what prevented him from playing. However for months now mayos has said he has been at the facility taking part in meetings training ect just not playing. I believe your right next week could be a possibility.

I'd even say Sunday is a possibility just seems weird he wouldn't practice yesterday if that was the case but maybe there was one last hurdle that he couldn't speed up by a day.
