Player Signing Patriots sign Raiders LB Robert Spillane

[Hugepatsfan]

LB Spillane
Box Safety/Small LB Dugger
SS Peppers
FS Jevon Holland or Cam Bynum (SHOULD BE NEXT SIGNING)
CB Gonzo
CB Davis
Slot MJones

I think that could be a good, fast playmaking back end to the defense.

Throw Mapu in there somewhere too.

Well Defense has certainly gotten better quick. My only concern is age - a lot of guys pushing 30.
But, Bentley coming back - with Landry & Spillane & Elliss instead of Uche & Taki & Tavai - is a major win.

Him and Pettus backup Peppers/Dugger.

 

[Clonamery]

90% of the board will need to look that up.

Some might remember him from the Miller Lite ads.

Some might remember this reference.

 

[Wozzy]

Jag who made a lot of tackles on a terrible defense and team. They should continue to play Christian Ellis ahead of him.

LB really was a sneaky bad spot

It was horrible

 

[vicspats]

Middle class signing, yes, but he'll definitely start.

Tells ya a lot doesn’t it ..

Didn’t bently blow a bicept?

yes, its been bad for years. When Bentley is your best LB, then you are in trouble.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Underrated signing. He's going to improve the overall team speed. This isn't that half assed attempt Bill did in 2022.

This guy is a playmaker.

Who was available who is a better ILB? What are your thoughts on better alternatives?

They already have him, Christian Ellis if he keeps improving is a better player and athlete.

 

[rkarp1]

I wouldn't forget about Mapu either.
he is the type of LB that Vrabel covets

Nah, he's getting pushed out of the mix.

Maybe this was already discussed, but it does feel like Bentley and Spillane are a bit redundant.

Do we trade Bentley? Feel like he could maybe fetch a 5th or so. Still a good player in a now thinning LB market. Just feel like Spillane is a bit better as a similar type of player.

I think there's still a role for Bentley give Vrabel all the linebackers

 

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

It was in this moment, Verbal knew he wanted Spillane.
A 224lb UDFA shoots the gap on the goalline and runs over his star Derick Henry putting him on the ground.

Does Vrabel know anything about linebackers?

lol. I’ll trust his judgement on that topic.

You'd think this, but Mayo didn't seem to have a clue.
