I think what was meant that the amount due to Diggs is going up in 2026.

The money's not an issue. Like Teddy KGB said:

I think we're pretty much stuck with Landry for another year - if I'm reading the structure correctly. Which is *fine* if he's a rotational piece, not fine if he's a fulltime starter.

I think we can get a deal on Chiasson. And he's still got room to grow.

Hawkins is ok...again, I'd like to see him more in a depth role than a starter, but you could do worse, I suppose.

Safety is the hardest position to judge on this team IMO.
Our pass rush is not good, and our LBs are way below average.
Add those two things up and the safety play can look worse than it is.
No one is mistaking Hawkins for Ed Reed, but I think he has shown improvement, and could be a better than average starter if the front 7 was more stout.

What do you think of the Colts Alec Pierce 6'3, 211 consecutive over 800yds seasons. He came out that year we drafted Tyquan. Need some other young buck to go along with Kyle Williams and the Chis.

Find it hard to believe Colts let him go.
If so, Pats should have interest but always hard to talk about Free Agents until just before free agency. Almost all the good ones, not over 30, end up back with their team.

I love that movie.

me too and John M is a great actor....however his Russian, or Albanian (or whatever it was ) accent in that movie was not his best work!

The only thing Pierce does better than Boutte is being tall.
Nice player, seems redundant here.

I think he's an upgrade on Boutte and Mack Hollins. Not a huge upgrade but an upgrade.
I'd be interested but not laying out big cap space for the guy either so depends on the cost.

 

[TommyD4207]

I agree with @KCSVEN and @DoubleDeluxe
You're both correct.

I think Pierce is a slight improvement over Boutte and Hollins, but not nearly enough to break the bank for.

I really liked Pierce coming out in the draft.
He was pretty disappointing his first couple of years, but really hard to blame him with Indy's QBs.
His last two years have been much better, and with a downfield assassin like Maye, he could explode.
I wouldn't be against it, but I do like what we have, and feell both Boutte and KW are in the infancy of what they could be, especially KW.

FYI: you can't get any young player going into their prime for cheap. Alec Pierce is going to have a decent market.

Now you're talking he'll be 26 and getting better imagine him with an Elite QB like you know...

retweet.

The expense is going to be Gonzo. You have to figure they'll resign Gibbens, Tonga, Chaisson and Hawkins. Lowe is up, you'd probably get him for good back up money, unless someone else is desperate. Boutte is worth an extension, but he's not someone I'd pay open market pricing for. So do you go for a guy like Romeo Doubs or try to improve the defense?

We don't need any more WRs..

All the players you mentioned are all worth resigning.. every last one of them could see team friendly deals IMO. With a new culture built these guys are part of it and are still in thier primes. I believe we add on defense to strengthen the pass rush and depth. Doubs would be a nice option as well. Resigning Boutte absolutely. He's a David givens type player IMO.

I'll remember you said that.

 

[festy1986]

Patriots aren't breaking the bank for fee agent WR.

You're not getting a difference maker at that position unless one of these guys is forcing their way to you.

Which will happen.

Absolutely correct.

Absolutely correct.

I'll take what I can get but Jefferson is prime for the taking within the next year.

Now we are talking.. with JJ.. seemingly a bust in Minnesota.. it won't be long before JJ grows weary..

I'd rather retain Boutte and add pitts at TE.

Yeah let's get a guy with known concussion issues Puffy helmet Doubs: let me choose the WR's Steve. Stay in your lane.
