PATRIOTS NEWS Your 2025 AFC East Champion New England Patriots

[Steve102]

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

You’re not GMing any team I’m watching, that includes a fantasy team.

 

[Lansdowne]

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

Retaining Boutte would be nice if the price is reasonable. Pass on Pitts, you’d be paying for his 166-yard, 3-TD game, which made up a significant chunk of his 2025 totals. He was merely okay this season otherwise, and didn’t see a spike in production until Drake London got hurt. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Falcons tagged him anyway and took him off the market. Also we still have Henry under contract for 2026 and he’s been great. The way I see it, the Pats should make a trade for A.J. Brown or Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason. Otherwise run it back with the WR group as is and hope Kyle Williams takes the next step in his development.

I get it you don't trust me.

I get it you don't trust me.

I don’t want 52 WRs.

You forgot forgot the 13 Practice Squadders one can't be too careful.

I hear you and I see your points. AJ has always been my favorite player at WR and who i want. So hear me out on Pitts. His WR skills, speed and athletic abilities. He's still young and hasn't reached his potential. Now picture him with the current group of WR we have being coached by Josh at OC and Drake throwing to him.. I really think he could be a huge addition at TE..

AJ Brown was unhappy about touches on a championship team. I don't want a guy who is more concerned with being " The Guy" than he is with winning championships. Maye doesn't need divas who can't handle being part of the team,

I honestly think it’s a bit more complex than just “wanting to the man on a championship team.” Yes, they are winning, but he & Smith seem to be disgruntled with how inept the offensive system is. There’s no reason the Eagles should be scoring 13 points, 12 points, 16 points etc with all that talent/experience. Also, Hurts has been super lackadaisical getting the play calls in & getting the team out of the huddle; resulting in not being able to fully diagnose the coverage. They’re lining up like 4 seconds before the play clock runs out. Even their own lineman Jordan Mailata literally said this a few weeks ago. It’s been an issue all season. AJ Brown is no diva & never has been. If you say he is, then you must also call DeVonta Smith a diva, since he shares the same sentiment as Brown. They’re not; just fed up with the coaching & Hurts’ ineptitude at times. Also, and most importantly; Brown is both a Patriots & Vrabel fan, so he’d relish the chance to play with us. No issues at all; and we all know Maye & Brown would feed families! He’s already a top 2 MVP candidate without a receiver of Brown’s caliber. There’s honestly a great chance he’s a Patriot next year. I’m telling you, nobody will be complaining if he’s a Patriot next year. He’ll be on his best behavior & game with Maye & Vrabel. Book it…

The fact that you don’t want him makes him off season priority #1 as far as I’m concerned.

 

[PatsfanTN]

Yeah but he does lmao

Diggs is still under contract. Hollins is 33, he'll be affordable.
If they're smart they can talk Boutte into a team-friendly 2-3 year deal since he's still only 23.

According to Spotrac Diggs pay next year could go up to 28 million.

Hollins won't expensive, but he'll get more than he did this season.

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

Yep. But I was wrong about Boutte. I thought he was a free agent this coming offseason and he isn't, which gives them more room to maneuver.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Good. Step on their throats. Poetic way to end their cute little run.

They are going to try and throw the game to impact the playoffs, just as they did the draft last year. The league should notify them that they will lose their first round pick in 26' if they throw that game.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Let's hope the Chargers see value in being the 5th seed, and play their starters and shock Denver next week.
We take care of the Dolphins.
Then we don't have to worry about playing anyone in the first rd!

The Chargers are sitting Hebert.

Do you think they will want to pay him $28M for a soon to be 33 year old? I'm torn. Recently I was leaning towards no, but he's really come on the last two weeks. If he goes off in the playoffs and they make a deep run (even winning the Super Bowl), I will lean towards yes they pay him as a thank you.

Considering the bargain they got him for this year - and the fact that they can afford it.

They will...

A decent chunk of it will be likely to be earned bonuses for playing time and receptions, and I'm really not sure if they will want to pay him that much.

DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE!

Diggs is under contract. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/16872/stefon-diggs


At the time we signed him we needed him and he needed us. I like that he's Under contract 2 more seasons and still has his game. Precision route running, excellent hands and his leadership abilities that go far beyond the white lines.. he also just bought a house in Easton. Who else lives in Easton?? Vrabel!! Diggs wants to be here. I can see us redoing his current contract giving him more guarantees and upfront money. He's more than worth it.

This WR position has been absoulte **** for production prior to Diggs and McDaniels coming back. Diggs has been a large reason Drake is the likely MVP. They are sensational together. I'd expect him to be even better next season as it's said the 2nd year after an ACL a player typically feels closer to pre-injury.

Then we look over on the west coast at a player like ayuik with the same injury who's not what you're looking for as a professional hasn't even played i don't believe?

Is Easton the new North Attleboro?
