In his latest assessment of the Patriots Off Season moves NBC Boston Patriots writer Tom Curran gives the Patriots an F. He is very bitter that Tom Brady is not on the Patriots anymore. He also rakes the Patriots for trading Rob Gronkowski. Why, they got something for nothing! Gronk was not going to play for the Patriots without Tom Brady. The Patriots made the right choice about Brady. You DO NOT pay $25M guaranteed per year for two years for a 43 you QB.
What if the Cap goes down by $75 next year as projected. The Bucs and a lot of other teams are screwed. The Patriots were in cap jail but still made significant moves with the signings of Allen, Copeland, Lee, Phillips and Vitale.
I like the draft class with the exception of K Rohrwasser. As with all rookie kickers, I will keep and open mind about Rohrwasser.
I love their UDFA class and think as many as 3 or 4 could make the team.
The Patriots have the oldest roster on both offense and defense in the NFL. They have 31 players in the last year of their contracts. It was time to pay the piper and have over $25M in dead money and have another $16M tied up in Franchise tagged Joe Thuney. Thuney is a player you build your oline around and given a choice between keeping Thuney or keeping a 43 you Brady, the Patriots made the tough decision and kept Thuney.
This off season has been difficult, but an F, no way. A solid B- and if these players work out, could be a B+.
