Player Signing Patriots Sign WR Stefon Diggs

[Love The Drake]

Im a big bourne fan but i think so too unless mack hollins is also on the bubble. Gotta figure diggs, boutte, douglas, polk are locks. They might draft someone high who would be a lock. Hollins and baker probably have a better chance to make the roster too

Polk is not a lock to even be in the NFL after least seasonz
We have a better chance hearing his name in the XFL than hearing his name in the NFL in 2 years.

That's the point. The just shelled out a **** ton of $ for a player who will not be 100% for a year.

The Pats know this and made the call. It is what it is.

Yeah this is a 'prove it in 2026" deal, I bet.

 

[TheRainMaker]

It’s imperative new uniforms are unveiled at this point with all these signings.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

You could see how much he was not himself though.

Exactly right, welker started slow in 2010, got better after the blowout loss in Cleveland week 9 and then exploded in 2011. Would gladly take the same timeline with diggs, though diggs is 2 years older than wes was.

 

[KCSVEN]

What does ready mean? Source?

ACLs take a year to recover 100% from.

AP was back in 8 months so you never know
10 months plus from injury to first game is maybe doable for Diggd

We're also 15 years down the road medically.

Sure all I need are more Jerseys,
I have 5 Maye Jerseys all knockoffs but they are very legit.

He's not wrong. This "team" still Sucks; and the same geniuses who over-saw last year's draft will Still be in the building for this one too, ready to try even harder to prove just how darn smart they really are...

My son was 9 last year when Diggs randomly popped up at a youth basketball tournament. Diggs was nice enough to take a pic, and had a small conversation about him embarrassing the Patriots. My son has another reason to be a Patriot fan now. I know he's gotten a bad rap at times, but he was nice in this randomn encounter.

 

[borisman]

For the older crowd he is to The NEP as Andrew Toney was to the early 80s Celtics.

Until Toney blew out his knee

I have no doubt he'll be active in September.

The concern is producing at a high level.

We'll see

 

[TheRainMaker]

The best part of this signing is that they are now playing with house money in the draft. If they land an impact player, it will be icing on the cake.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Great job Vrabes!

He'll be in training camp. Possibly Otas. Structurally the knee should be sound. The year to full recovery a lot of the time involves trusting the knee again.

 

[captain stone]

Yeah this is a 'prove it in 2026" deal, I bet.

Then that's a Suck-Ass deal for the New England Patriots.

26 million for 2 years is a suck ass deal?

Id lean towards him being a lock for this season. Really tough to move on from someone taken at pick 36 no matter how bad he was year 1. He’d probably have to do something really effed

 

[Rdforty2]

Diggs
Boutte
Douglas
Bourne
Polk

Baker
etc

That instantly looks so much better. I bet Drake is pumped.

I kind of wonder if this means Bourne is on the way out. He operates in the same part of the field as Diggs, Polk, and Douglas. Baker and Boutte at least bring some downfield ability.

Don't forget Hollins, either.

Hollins and Diggs, with Douglas are guaranteed. Probably 3 spots left for Boutte, Bourne, Polk, and a draft pick.

For our sakes I surely hope that the newest members of this front orifice take the draft far, Far more seriously than that.
