I don’t know if I believe that if so Wolfs gotta go.

If the Patriots are back to the traditional Patriots running game with Josh then I don’t think Dalman is a great fit

It's also the Packer way, right? Never really spend in FA.

Like I said, you need to draft and develop then pay your own guys. That the new way in the NFL. Prices are stupid.

t

they offered him 20 mill more than Tampa.

Who said that? You mean allegedly someone did and allegedly that was the Patriots.

See my above post.

I’m gonna be patient but cmon now 130 million in cap, 40 million more than the closest team.

Good players that can impact your team are dropping by the minute, time to get going soon.

So they shouldn’t negotiate? They should just ask what a player wants then say “ok”? That’s not how multi million dollar business works, for anybody.

The Patriots have shown no history of negotiating it's been take our number or you won't be here, the Krafts still act like they have Tom Brady and this is a destination.

The whole organization has been stuck in the past from the planes to the weight rooms, facilities, size of staff, refusal to pay the money that's required to build a winner without top 3 QB in football.

Other rebuilding teams have no problems getting the big free agents in the door by spending money.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Calling it now: Pats going 4-13 again. Another top 5 pick in 2026.

Cool bro

 

[Patsgofor4]

Pickens, AJ Brown, Aiyuk, Kupp insert promising young player trade compensation just went up
.

The "trade for Pickens" dotards are obsessed. Thank God that Vrabel is running the show and won't touch that selfish, unhinged cancer with a 10 foot pole.

So the

I have no damn clue what’s going on lol d%#*!@t X.

The self-professed genius lays of 80% of his staff, and we wonder why it doesn't work right?

I don’t like the quiet on Milton Williams.

If the Patriots are the team that offered the extra 20 million and still couldn't land the player then it's clear that the only way they're going to get a WR is by trade.

Cause they can't sign them and they sure as **** can't draft them.

But what do I know.

 

[JohnJH]

Shore up the lines d line and o line.
I think we will have to cough up some current or futures picks for WRs.

There's not much to be had for OL, at least not at OT. IOL has some decent upgrades for us.

 

[festy1986]

Ian Rapaport said it on NFLN

He said the team that offered 20 million more was the Patriots?

Well then that confirmed my theory that we are in the depths of hell as a franchise.

 

[TommyD4207]

I don't either. I don't like the quiet on anyone. If the first thing we here is some sort of contact extension for Bourne or something, it's going to smell a lot like last year's FA.

 

[patman12]

In fairness to Wolf, which isn’t easy today, asking if Dalman had any interest in playing in NE for below May value is expressing interest. It’s a very low bar.

 

[Thunderhead]

You're only going to believe whatever suits your narrative though....

It's based on years of evidence. The Patriots are the cheapest team in the entire league. Fact.

They ceratinly have yet to prove that they can draft WR's. I hope that changes for the better starting with Vrabel's tenure.

Cam Robinson. The other Moore. When those guys are gone, then the OT market is done.
