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

[TommyD4207]

Pats should sniff around here, if the pick is low enough pull the trigger.

I kinda agree, but he's 100 and always injured.

 

[Ross12]

Would've liked to have had him

Read that Mike Evans plans to sign elsewhere. I'd be excited about him coming here if it was 2022 but now... eh.

Liked Pierce and obviously he played his cards right with all his comments to get the most he could out of Indy. Truthfully I want OL and TE first. The TE’s are very important in Josh’s system. We have Henry as the receiver type TE. We need the blocking/receiver type in FA. I do believe Wilson is going to play Center. Go get a good Veteren LG to sandwich between Will and Wilson. A good swing lineman is much needed incase of injuries, but that could be via draft.
Probably get some WR via trade because I am not sold on the FA crop. I hope DE also even after Dre’Mont Jones which is more OLB/DE which was a need

Ooof.

Highest paid FA RB in NFL history.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

He killed us in the Super Bowl.

But the season to season production wasn’t as heavy as I thought. Not sure what level he’ll be going forward.

I’d rather they have him than Jeremiah Love.

You get better cost control if you use the top 10 pick on a more premium position than RB i guess, Walker getting 28m guaranteed over 3 years.

If they can hit on a player who can play at good level at CB for example they're much cheaper and get more assets that way rather than than keeping McDuffie and drafting Love.

They desperately needed a RB but I doubt this makes much of a difference.

That team is cooked.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

FWIW, Zo just got a text that made him smile. He said there may be news locally by 1PM.

Zo always wants to feel relevant which he is not. The text probably said your 3 martini lunch is waiting

lost in their celebration, they just lost both of their starting CB’s.

Depending on the money why not? Still a huge target and would be a great Redzone threat which we lacked last year

Yeah Zo has a poor track record of breaking anything

Shame although 30m per is a lot.

 

[Wozzy]

I agree he’s ancient, but started 16 games and played the third most offensive snaps on his team last season.

 

[gobesmug]

A poor man's Mike Evans

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Now that would be interesting

 

[TommyD4207]

A poor man's Mike Evans

I'll say this.
I'd rather have Pittman than Pierce. Straight up.

 

[Ross12]

The Panthers signing an Eagles DL just to be scooped by the Patriots? It'd be funny if that happened...

Dremont at half 3-39 looks really good to me. Grab Mafe and we could have two pretty good pass rushers for that 30 mil price tag.
