This stuff drives me crazy. You play who you play - this isn't college where the difference between a good team and a bad team is 40 points. One of the reasons the Pats had an "easy" schedule is because teams playing them were 3-14 against them. Seattle had a pick and a fumble, starting their...

That's what I was thinking.

Agreed - it's not like they're drafting a guy they think will be in the mix for 5+ years. Good post, Wozzy.

Yeah, I know that - just surprised they'd go to a minor signing for clickbait.

Saw a story on FB that the Pats had signed Wyatt Teller. Have seen no confirmation.

Question for my fellow posters: if the price were the same: AJ Brown or Max Crosby?

I don't agree with that - too strong. But yeah, that Pats' LB corps could be upgraded. I'm still stunned they didn't go hard after Lloyd or Chenal (I'm biased - loved Lloyd's game an Chenal was a binkie in the draft)...but they've earned a bit of trust, yes? So, we'll see.

Like others here, I'm confused and suspect something has to be coming. Chaisson signed for low-mid money elsewhere. Jennings wasn't expensive. Tavai wasn't expensive. Don't get me wrong: I think Jones is better than either of the edge guys - best traits of both and he's bigger and more violent...

Makes that "failed physical" claim seem rather ridiculous. They were obviously talking with Hendrickson before deciding to dump the Crosby deal. That's an absolutely crap move by them.

Yeah, I love Lloyd and he didn't sign for an outrageous amount, either. They have to do something with that LB group - Tavai is gone, Spillane is old and was banged up. Chenal? That's my #1 hope they sign guy right now. Those great Patriot teams always were strong at the second level of the D...

? Who are these guys? Pierce went back to his team. Evans? Just no.

I seem to remember the Patriots saying (reportedly) that they could fit both Diggs and Brown onto the team if Diggs would renegotiate. Is this the type of deal, with less years, they meant? Certainly they didn't expect to get Diggs for less than 18-20 a year. So perhaps that's the thing here -...

Sure, but when the other guy is out with a concussion and he isn't...Olave should have worn this since college.

I love this time of the year. It's a GDT every hour for a week! Not what I wanted for the Pats...hmm...well, what did I want? Pierce? Nope, staying in Indy. Tyreek? Still out there. I heard he started walking again the other day. That would be super high risk - plus, he's an ******* I would...

Very surprised by this. Thought for sure they'd be going for a stop-gap here with Bitonio. High risk, very high reward... Given where they are and where they're trying to go, I'll take it. When he's healthy AVT is great. Let's hope he's put that injury bug behind him.
