The 1986 Giants may not have been the best defense in my lifetime, but they certainly were the most feared. They were constantly knocking QBs out of the game in a very different league back then. LT, Harry Carson, Carl Banks, Pepper Johnson were all just monsters. The 1990 version might have...

Thanks to all for the education. I wasn't aware they couldn't negotiate with Drake until after the 3rd year. Learn something new every day. Hopefully it gets done the day after his 3rd season ends (next February!).

Pats win an ugly game that is closer than the score suggests. 27-17.

It's hard not to see a scenario where Drake isn't the Pats QB for the next decade. He has clearly made the jump and if the Pats commit to protecting him and upgrading his weapons it's realistic to think this team will again become a perennial contender. I think it's safe to say Maye's price...

Best line on the internet: "It's going to be really awkward if Sanders has to go back to Colorado and choose a different number." Hard pass. Not worth the headache. I thought Jerruh would grab him at 76. Now I won't be surprised if he falls out of the draft completely.

I don't think anyone is saying that, but he's also no Austin Hooper.

Before missing half the season last year, Engram played 16, 15, 17, and 17 games the previous 4 seasons.

Yep, resigning Hooper just took this off the table. I wish they had gone in a different direction. They don't seem interested in improving this offense with any known commodities.

Without watching him much in Jax (other than for FF purposes) I certainly don't think he's ever been a plus blocker, but I don't think he's horrible at it either. That would not be why he was brought in, I agree. Is being 30 a huge deal for players these days other than cowbell backs? I feel...

Hooper is a FA. He might not be here to compete.

Forgot about that one. Still not many.

I feel like this sort of thing almost never happens in any sport in the modern era. Jamie Collins is the only player I can think of right now who returned to a Boston team after being traded (not including guys who signed one-day contracts to retire in a certain uniform.)

This is a reasonable take, and I agree TE isn't a weakness. But that doesn't mean it couldn't be improved upon. Maye is developing now and he needs help. I have yet to see any indication the Pats are going to put decent skill players around him (again). While I love the idea of drafting and...

If you say so. Like I said the guy has never been in trouble as far as I know. I would love to have a player like him on the roster.

They'll bat an eyelid if he gets suspended. Rice has some legal trouble of his own. The Chiefs are no longer an automatic SB champion every year, and they showed last season they needed a ton of luck to win close games. It's unlikely they'll have that kind of luck again in the upcoming...
