No interest in Pickens, Pitts is a bummer.

They need to somehow eliminate the franchise tags. It has always been bad for the game.

Agreed. One of the worst things in sports.

Will Pickens show up before Mandatory with the tag on him?

I loved it...

Given NE hasn’t generally used tags often, it probably benefits us to remove it.

Problem is, NFLPA are weak and won’t dig in long enough to get it removed.

Not really franchise tag chatter, but contract chatter.

He does not particularly impress me.

I am not sure he would be great, but I think he would be far better in another system. The Ravens don't seem to use him to the best of his abilities.

They don't... imagine him catching passes from Drake in an offense that spreads the ball around.. he's athletic with great hands and is a good blocker.... I'm sold.. I want likely at TE.. young athletic and can make plays down field..

Can I have em all... .. can I please have the WR to go with it..

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Definitely NOT Pine....

 

[Rob0729]

There goes Pierce for anyone who was wanting him.

Free Agency has become such a non event over the past few years. 90% of players who actually make it to free agency are JAG's, reclamation projects or players coming off injuries. There's hardly ever any really exciting opportunities in FA anymore.

 

[DaBruinz]

TFG on both Pitts and Pierce. Now I don't have to worry about the "Grass is greener" brigade whining about the Pats not signing them..

 

[Grogan14]

Teams unlikely to walk away from high profile offensive playmakers. They have too much value to just wait for a compensatory pick.

2025 free agency definitely was NOT a non-event for the patriots.
