Player Signing Romeo Doubs Signs

I feel like AJ Brown is still on the table. Could be close to a draft day trade. I don't think NE cut Diggs just to sign Doubs.

Edge, OT and WR are my guesses for the 1st 3 picks in the draft.

All about value.
I would certainly add LB, DT and TE into that 3 round mix.
 
When I discussed this with you you said Boutte was the same player as Doubs. Even though Doubs has better stats.
Now you are saying Doubs is no way a 2 and is a 3. And say Boutte is the 2. How can that be when Boutte has worst stats. If Boutte can be a 2 with inferior stats. Why can’t Doubs be the 2 with Superior stats
At the end of the conversation you said now that he is only making 17 million I’m good with the money and agree he is a 2. Your all over the place

The stats don't lie. How you feel about them are irrelevant.
 
It’s true the stats don’t lie. Doubs had better stats.

Marginal in every one except catches.

I realize you think Boutte is a 2 but he ain't.

It's not all over the place to say that if Doubs is worth 17 mil than so is Boutte and no way the pats are paying him that. Zero chance.
 
I think what some are missing is when you sign a young FA often times you are signing based on potential and not past production. They do not sign young guys and say we want you to do exactly what you did last year.
 
My argument was we have a 2. We need a 1.

Is that not clear for you? Is that too convolted? You can make an argument that we have three or four number twos.q
I believe you just said Boutte was a 2
Was it not?


The problem isn't the player. It was the contract. The contract changed from its first reporting. I'm fine with 17 mil a year.

He probably will get the same contract. It just won't be here.

You already said Boutte is a #2. If so then 17 million a year is in line with a #2 receiver as they payed Doubs to be a number 2. And yes next year we may pay Boutte 17 million because he plays a different depth on the field than Doubs. You need good recievers in all phases of the depth chart whether you call them 1’s,2’s or 3’s. Since we are not paying any 30+ mil players at WR. Then it certainly has a chance

Boutte is our number 2. We're not paying him 17 mil to be OUR 2. Or did I miss something?

Are you arguing that we should pay both Doubs and Boutte number 2 money while one of them would be our 3? Is that the argument?
 
Let’s wait for the contract details before we start forecasting how him and Boutte fit on the cap sheet. It’s kind of odd that the guaranteed amount didn’t come out yet. Usually agents leak that in… unless it’s unimpressive and the contract has a phony number total to look better. For all we know of the “up to” $80M in the deal $35M of that could be in the last year with no guarantees making this reported number a total bogus figure.

Yes I would pay them to be a 2 or 3 because it means you have 2 good players at 2 depths of the field. Stop getting so hung up on what WR # he is.
I guess the big guestion is why to do keep contradicting yourself. But please don’t answer because you’ll just spin something else.
I don’t mind learning from someone else’s opinion but your opinion is like Sudoko to a toddler

You'll be alright once we get our number 1. You'll thank my vision then.
 
I love everything about this signing except the guardian cap lol

And as best as I can figure, your vision is that Doubs is a terrible WR1, even though he won't be a WR1 after we land AJ Brown, which is definitely happening. Is that about it?

I don't think he's terrible. I'm just not convinced he's going to produce more than any of the other guys we already have.

In theory he should. He is better than the rest of them.

As long as this isn't the last WR added to the team I think we'll be alright.
 
I'm not here to tell anyone what to do. That seems like maybe more your thing?

You're not new here. You know how opinions work.

Brown is going to be a Patriot. I've been saying it for months and months and months all the while taking downvotes left and right over my claims that diggs would be gone in his place.

Halfway there.

Not sure why you or anyone else are concerned on why I think Doubs is a 3 over a 2. It ain't that serious.
I think the problem is you keep stating that’s he’s not a #1, we all know that. Who has called him a #1? I agree with you on Brown being a Patriot.

People keep forgetting that I stated that when I THOUGHT he was getting 23 mil a year. That turned out to be fake news.

If Brown is here then Brown and Doubs is a pretty decent sized upgrade over Diggs and whichever of the other pats you want to crown as the number 2 last year.

Steve Smith says something that is really encouraging.

Doubs shows up for the big games on the big stage.

We had another guy like that.

What was his name??

Oh!!

Julian Edelman.
