The draft does many things. One of these is to improvements this year's playoff roster. That is just one of the goals of the draft. For me, drafting a much-needed OT, TE, and even OG might not help a lot this year, but are very important for next year I suspect that we could get the most...

I suspect that we all have our favorite TE or S if he is available in the 3rd or from a tradeup from our 3rd round pick. ========================== I thought that I'd ask for our priorities for our 3rd pick. I would think that 1) whether we drafted an OT at 31 doesn't matter much given the...

31 other were competing for free agents. Well, perhaps, a couple were so cap-tied that they couldn't. ================= How successful have the New England Patriots been in free agency thus far? According to Sports Illustrated’s Eva Geitheim, Mike Kadlick and Karl Rasmussen, the Patriots’...

I guess that I need to stop posting about anything but players, rosters and the draft. Almost everything else can colored by political views. And, of course, this is much more common in that there is almost nothing to discuss other than the draft and we have a truly excellent sub-board for...

Someone suggested $20m Were ok because we have several restructures we can do.

THE FRONT SEVEN Who should we trust to decide who fits best, who is good enough and who will succeed as a front 7 player this and for the coming years? I simply don't know why the answer isn't "Vrabel, of course, with the advice of staff and coaches". If it were, there would be little...

We could restructure Williams and Davis. We could extend Onwenu. But, for now, the effective cap space is under $30M per overthecap (their $38M less $9M for Byard's contract).

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE RUNNING GAME 1) AVT - an excellent run blocking LG 2) Gilliam - a top blocking FB 3) Hill - a blocking TE and STer (Vrabel knows him well)

A+ 3 starters at positions of great need ---------- 3/$39M Jones 3/$42M AVT 3/$9M Gilliam (the posts said up to $12, so I guesstimated $9M as reasonable) 3/$90M total AAV evenly spread, the cap hit for all three would be $10M. My guess is $7M will be the case after signing bonuses are spread...

We badly need EDGE rushers. One option is to sign Chaisson and one of the top DE's not named Henrickson. The cost may be similar.

We have about $90M less cap room compared to last year. But a lot could get done. Of course, we hope to be able to choose the BPA's when we draft. As an aside, we will know who has been franchised by EOB today. Of course, we won't know which free agents will re-sign with their current teams...

I don't think that we will be tendering any of the RFA's. 1st round $8.046M 2nd round $5.767M first refusal $3.520M I expect us to extend Gibbens and do nothing with the rest before the March 11 deadline. RFA's Gibbens Austin Roy Durant DiVito

For me, extending this solid 28-year old starter for 3 years can be part of the OL solution. We then have a solid starter for the next 3-4 years. We save more than $10M on the 2026 cap. This could, for example, pay for our backup LT and another player to compete (perhaps Munford). SUMMARIZING...

Last year we had $130M of cap room. This year we have $40M. Last year, we signed 5 players at $10M or more AAV. How many will we sign this year, not counting a Gonzalez extension? ============ BTW, an extension for Gonzalez could be one of the $10+, although Miguel has posted that it might be...

Our 2025 Defense was a top Defense, one of the very best in the NFL. Sure, we can improve. HOWEVER, as a base, we should do no harm and be as good as 2025 in each unit. To be as good as 2025, we need to re-sign or upgrade Tonga, Chaisson, Gibbens and Hawkins. It is really that simple. DL We...

First, I'm more concerned with AAV than cap. Cap management can spread the compensation as needed. Obviously, there will be lot of options regarding might choose to go after. And this is the team's greatest need. ======== CURRENT SITUATION ($24.3M) LG - $1.6M Brown (Wilson wouldn't cost any...

We could go another year with Bradbury at $5.7M if we can't get a better mentor for Wilson. Or perhaps Wilson is staying at LG. ============ It does seem best to sign a better veteran center than Bradbury. Bradbury was OK for 2025. There is little reason to believe that he will get better...

https://sports.yahoo.com/article/chiefs-rb-elijah-mitchell-continues-130552864.html In addition, almost all the Practice Squad players signed futures contracts (excepting Battle who decided to move on to MIA). Also, an OT from the past, Gutierrez will compete again for a spot.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47807175/nfl-way-too-early-power-rankings-poll-2026-offseason-three-words Our SuperBowl team did not all of a sudden become an average team in the NFL. ESPN may over-rate us, but we should still be favored to be a playoff team. After all, if we are better...
