Patriots Rumor RUMOR: Alex Highsmith?

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Lol if they don’t trade him. Gonna pay a rotational guy $20m then, a guy who’s gonna want a raise too from the front office who has caved in multiple times to defenders past their prime asking for more money.

I'd much prefer to keep Boutte and get something, anything, for Hollins, Douglas, or both.

I'd rather have Hollins and all his scars.

I personally don't want to trade Boutte because we need solid depth and he is still improving.

And he isn’t depth, he is one of our top 3 WRs and we use 3 WRs as a base

Why?

Barmore is signed through end of 2028. His contract is easy to cut after 2026 though. Is that what you meant?

Yes correct Ross thank you! I meant his guaranteed money for 2026-27 I think it's what 10,12 million? I know the team had an option to pick it up this offseason and I believe in March it was done. His health battle he went through of course not his fault at all.. and that was likely why he had so many pulls during the regular season.

Like I said… sounds like preemptive negotiating.

@TheRainMaker wolf is the guy who gave him the contract not so sure what's preemptive about it?

Barmore is great player.....with caveats.
His disappearing act goes back to his days at Bama and why he dropped to the 2nd rd.
Did you see him the college playoffs his last year? He was a one man wrecking crew, literally unblockable, but motor and want to has always been a question with him.
The fact that we still talk about this years later is why he's not talked about as one of the greats, and he certainly has that ability when he wants to.
Then add in the legal issues he's had, and he's still proving to be immature and entitled.
Great player, needs to grow up once and for all and be a full time pro.

I didn't get to see his last season at Bama.. I know Saban loved him.. he had some knee issues in college and some other concerns are likely what dropped him to the second round.. your summary of him is accurate.. kid came from a tough neighborhood in Philadelphia and had to overcome alot.. you'd think on the maturity level having a mother that's a retired police officer would have had an affect on his maturity. We need to see 2023 Barmore that was the player who got the extension..
