NE trades for WR/KR Patterson !

Interesting! Adds a bit of excitement..
Was just asking about returner yesterday..
BB had a soft spot for him for a while..

How good is he?

Good returner, ****ty receiver.

I can live with this.

Elite KR that could have a Donte Stallworth role on offense. We did struggle on screens last year.

A bit surprised to be honest to take on a $3.25M cap hit for a one year guy who's mostly just a KR. No punts, not a lot of receptions.

A WR stud in college at Tennessee. Just couldn’t replicate that in NFL. Glad to have him at KR though.

30.2 KR avg. Second in NFL history

yep

BB is projecting. No question.

The question is if he will be right.

Interested in this trade. Good KR and can line up opposite side of cooks and stretch the field for us. Opens up middle for gronk, je and the backs.

Hopefully he carves a role on offense as well. Learning the playbook was the knock on him when he was in Minnesota. But when you have his speed, just give him a limited route tree.

So this is why we didn't bring back Danny

I remember during the draft and last years FA, people here were saying he is as dumb as a box of rocks and couldn’t learn the Pat’s offense. 3 mill for a kick returner seems odd, but maybe B.B. could squeeze something outta the guy. We know who our kick returner is though. Not holding my breath he’ll help as a receiver, besides some bubble screens and end arounds.

This is because Danny didn't come back

And seems just for a swap of low picks again. Pleasure watching trader Bill at work.
Maybe he can continue do that even when he retires from HC/GM.
Upgrades Ernie department..

He is a serious threat on 'end arounds". Career 44 rushes for 455 yds ( 10.1 ypc) and 6 TD with plenty of 20+ yd runs....
