Patriots sign Lance Kendricks

Froob · Jul 24, 2019

Hmm seems like a decent signing. If Ben Watson falls off a cliff or re-retires we are awfully thin.

It's evident that Lance Kendricks can catch the football among this current group he could be more than just a camp fodder.

Interesting McDaniels drafted him when he was with the Rams.

Desperately needed. A proven veteran, low money, low risk.

My top 3 available TEs until a few days ago were in order Ryan Griffin, Jermaine Gresham & Lance Kendricks....If you ain't first you're last, but in this case I'll settle for 3rd...Any legit competition for the thoroughly execrable Matty LaCost is a good thing.

Next up please: Allen Hurns (or Michael Crabtree...or Kelvin Benjamin...or Dez?)

Allen Hurns would be a better option, wouldn't he?

Smoke 'em if you got 'em...

Former Packer, Badger Lance Kendricks given probation for marijuana possession

Free agent TE Lance Kendricks pleaded no contest to misdemeanor marijuana possession stemming from an arrest in 2017.

He appeared in court last week. The charge, which resulted from a traffic stop in September of 2017, will be dismissed if Kendricks completes eight hours of community service with at least half of that time spent at four Milwaukee high schools.

I would be happy with adding Crabtree....I think it isn't question of talent/age, but a question of money.

Happy with the Kendricks' signing.....the more competition, the better....

Worth a risk. At Rams he did not have opportunity to prove his worth because of Bradford made of glass and other unproven QBs. I do not know what was going on with him after Rams departure but I believe he still can catch the ball.

You're right, I forgot about his recent release and have now updated my post.

By my count, seven players responsible for 66% of the 2011 Rams’ receiving yards have spent time on the Patriots roster.

Please.

Signing a 31 year old journeyman TE the vet minimum is not desperation.

Actual desperation would be giving up a high pick and/or overpaying for a vet TE.

Re: the journeyman label: You might be surprised to find out that this is only Kendricks' third NFL team. He lasted quite a while on the Rams, although we know how poorly managed that roster was over the decade.
