Patriots Rumor Tracker / FA Signings (Updated: Signings in OP - 4/7)

[Ross12]

When was the last time we saw a 2-for-1 trade? Send 1 pick for 2 players? I'd shoot them one 3rd for both guys.

 

[DaBruinz]

Why would the Pats want Addison? He's got loads of legal troubles and has already served a 3 game suspension because of it..

 

[Ross12]

I'm a yes to both - although Addison does have some baggage I wouldn't be thrilled about.

Addison definitely has some baggage, but I think playing for a coach like Vrabel may help to sort that out. KOC is a very good coach, but different type of personality obviously. Addison would also be out of JJ's massive shadow.

Greenard just makes sense. He has declined a little but still a good player, this staff could use him well.

I would take Pierce and Greenard over Brown and a free agent. I can't see the Pats trading for both a WR and DE. Too much draft capital.

 

[Steve102]

I wonder how much of gauging interest is them seeing what the price range is for guys.

This Filet Mignon WR costs $XXX, this this Ribeye TE is $XX, this NY Strip steak WR is $X, half the money and 85% of the production. Money ball type stuff.

 

[Dec54]

More, more. I want MORE

would be a better addition if he were a X

not sure we need another wr2

I would Trade a Second for Jordan Addison and throw Pop Douglas in the deal.

 

[Ross12]

FWIW, Jordan Addison's "legal issues" are not in the ilk of stuff that usually leads to big problems with the league like domestic violence or drugs. He had a 100+ mph speeding charge and then trespassing or something like that. Obviously he was being stupid but IMO this is more about a guy just needing to get smart and get his priorities together instead of messing around vs. being an actually bad person, necessarily. That's just my take, though.

This upcoming season??

Of course you would.

 

[PatsFan2]

Of course you would.

Are you saying Addison sucks?? He has solid numbers with good QB play: JJ McCarthy struggle last year thus his sub par numbers.

IF you think there's more to Pop Douglas I have a piece of the Brooklyn Bridge to sell you.

A 2nd on top of Douglas is an overpay for Addison IMO.

 

[PatsFan2]

A 2nd on top of Douglas is an overpay for Addison IMO.

Would Pop even see the Field of we had Addison?? I don't think so: time to move on.

 

[Dec54]

Will be very disappointed if Pierce doesn't end up at Foxborough

 

[TommyD4207]

A 2nd on top of Douglas is an overpay for Addison IMO.

It's a ridiculous overpay. It has nothing to do with Turfseeker Douglas.
It has to do with SOMEONE having zero value for draft picks (1st for Justin Fields comes to mind).

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Would Pop even see the Field of we had Addison?? I don't think so: time to move on.

You can move him in a separate deal for pick not as some
damn sweetener on top of a 2nd.

 

[TommyD4207]

If the number really is 30 million, there is no. ****ing. shot.

Driving 140 MPH in a 55mph.. He plead down.
Suspected DUI that he pleaded down
Trespassing.


The first is, most definitely, a big issue. As is the 2nd..
