NFL News Official 2025 NFL Free Agency Thread

[ScottishPatriots]

Wow we really can’t get guys wtf

They don't want to pay the going rate.

They aren't shopping for the top tier free agents, if you're willing to go to Carolina you're willing to come to New England if you get the money you want.

 

[Joey007]

Move the team to New Hampshire . Only way. Sell the area around foxborough.

Can’t we just tell people to move just outside the state? Or does it not work that way

 

[TomPatriot]

MILTON WILLIAMS TO CAROLINA HAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

You’re happy about this? Why are you here?

 

[mike_usagisan]

I can't believe that I'm putting all my hopes on Cam Robinson.

 

[JohnJH]

This organization needs a makeover
Start by Kraft selling the team

Just as long as whoever buys it has Mega-Bucks, is a Fan, and agrees in writing to not move the team out of New England.

No. It's not based on "years of evidence". It's based on years of worthless opinion that isn't supported by actual FACT.

- Pats spent to the cap for most of Belichick's career. This was confirmed numerous times by PatsCap.
- Last year was the first in memory that the Pats had such a large carryover.
- The Kraft Organization built the current stadium without Seat Licensing. I won't say W/O public funds because that's a misnomer. They get all sorts of Tax breaks and incentives..
- They've regularly updated the Stadium since it's completion. Some good. Some to the fans chagrin.
- They added the Team planes, a first in the league, in 2017. The completely refitted 767s. Just because they didn't drop $450M on two planes right off the assembly line doesn't mean they didn't spend tens of millions for the planes.

You seem to be conflating the Patriots with the fictional Cleveland Indians of the movie "Major League".

Cash spending is a better gauge than cap spending.

No one care about stadium expenses.
The plane was ranked worst in the NFL.

Listing ways he tried to spend money to make more money rather than putting the best team in the field hurts your argument rather than helps it.
We carried a lot over from 23 to 24 also

Bentley clone?

Tavai's replacement?

Bentley is a 3-4 ILB coming in at over 250 lbs. Bentley is not a sideline to sideline guy.
Spillane is a 4-3 MLB coming in at around 230lbs. Spillane is a Sideline to sideline guy and a sure tackler.

Bentley and Tavai are likely OLBs in the 4-3..

Holy ****ing overpay Batman. Dude made more than Stanley. Making $20.5M per year for four years, a full $50M guaranteed:

 

[TB12TheGoat]

but I was told for the last couple of weeks that the Patriots big focus was on Godwin and Williams!

lol at this ****. the Krafts and Wolf can’t get out of here fast enough

 

[JohnJH]

I can't believe that I'm putting all my hopes on Cam Robinson.

That is pretty sad Dude. I feel your pain.

 

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

The Jets play in New Jersey.

Haha. I was wondering that when I typed but to much going on RN to want to Google it. Well about NJ. They are right there next to NY in regards to income taxes. With a millionaire tax of their own.

This year, 3 of their road games will be played in states with no income tax. Nice little bonus for some of the players

Not gonna lie but I want to put your entire post in my signature block

 

[slash83]

What a joke this franchise has become

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Milton Williams to Carolina.

Krafts are cheap, tell me how Carolina is a destination, Patriots left at the alter again.

What a ****show.

Charlotte vs Boston?

All things equal…Charlotte every time. Plus, again, lower taxes

 

[festy1986]

I’m telling ya. This will look a lot like 2001 offseason with a LOT of castoffs and Jags with hope that Vrabes can get something out of them.

What’s interesting is that the REASON is very different.

2000 team was in cap hell.

This team has a veritable bank vault that they can’t give away

The difference is and it's a HUGE difference, that 2001 team already had its core in place.

If the Patriots went into this off-season with the roster that 2000 team had, we'd be sitting pretty.

 

[Froob]

I can't believe that I'm putting all my hopes on Cam Robinson.

He’s not good lol. He might not even be better than Lowe

 

[PaulThePat]

Been out of the loop for a few days but if we can get Ronnie Stanley, Chris Godwin/DK Metcalfe and Milton Williams, it's a game changer.

 

[Thunderhead]

Patriots homers defending/justifying this joke of an off season is going to be endlessly entertaining

 

[stelfans]

Holy ****ing overpay Batman. Dude made more than Stanley. Making $20.5M per year for four years:

yikes!! thats some big big bucks for such an average player.
