The Patriots need a respected, competent placeholder at QB if they expect to be attractive to offensive free agents regardless of money. Brissett would be fine in that role. Someone has to hold down the fort until the next QB is drafted and ready to play well. This offense needs to be stabilized...

One of Eisen’s 5 is Daniels is QB2 in this draft.

Based on what’s on the books now, they’re going to need to pay out roughly $600 million over the 24-26 seasons just to meet the 90% spending floor, they’re not going to do that building through the draft and resigning their current good players. They’re going to spend because they have to. I...

They spent $150 million something in 2021 (signing bonuses and future salary guarantees) coming off a year in which they lost all of their stadium revenue because of Covid.

Was listening to Florio and Simms on the way to work Friday morning. Rodney Harrison was on set with them. The conversation turned to the QBs in this draft class. Neither Simms or Rodney were impressed with Drake Maye at all. Both think Daniels will be the 2nd QB taken and Maye is not worthy of...

Flacco is a statue. Brissett has some mobility and is big enough that blitzing DBs have a hard time bringing him down alone. The Pats OLine is very likely going to be a work in process early next season. Just upgrading personnel is not enough. OLines need to work with cohesion and that takes...

JJ McCarthy was not on my radar at all until I was watching Michigan’s last home game. It was Senior Day and one of Michigan ‘s senior offensive lineman (RG I think) went down with a leg injury. The serious type that stopped play for several minutes. While they were stabilizing the leg, the...

First thing is I could care less about my “credibility “. I’m just a fan who uses this forum to say what’s on my mind from time to time. You’re the one who seems to have a problem when people disagree with you. Droning on irrationality about Robin Grazer being a lawyer honor bound to rat on...

They’ll probably release Jackson tomorrow. But, if he is of sound mind and body and wants to continue his career, you’d think the best place for him to do that would be here. A restructure with a minimal salary and NLTBE incentives might be an option to an outright release.

Nonsense like this further reduces the chances of Belichick or Carroll even getting interviews in the future. Why invite being a party to a lawsuit if you chose not to hire the elderly coach you interviewed? Florio can be informative, but he sure likes to stir up sh*t.

You’re reading way too much into this. Her professional ethics only apply if the Krafts or whoever is her client. That’s not the relationship here. The Patriots are her employer. That’s her position here. Her lawyer status is incidental to her employment position. Most of the CFOs in the...

I wonder who’s going to fill the whipping boy role for you big, bad emotionally overwrought Mac haters once he’s inevitably gone? Will it be Mayo? Maybe, it will be AVP? Or, the QB draftee when he doesn’t immediately resemble Brady or Mahomes overnight? FanDuel needs to post odds on this.

https://www.patspulpit.com/2024/2/14/24072716/troy-brown-opportunity-stay-with-patriots-rumor This article quotes the Reiss piece about Troy Brown being offered a position. But, to me, it seems to say the position Brown was offered might not be the WR assistant position. The same source in...

And Bedard had been a critic of the process up to this point. Some people just chose to be angry or sad. I don’t understand it.

The salary cap in 1999 was $ 57,288,000. It was $224,800,000 in 2023. The salary cap has roughly quadrupled in that time. A $4 million salary for a top CB would be the same $16 million today which is about right. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cba/ Then, as now, the cap was tied to revenue. Still...

Greg Bedard reported today on “Boston Sports Journal” (behind pay wall) that the Patriots interviewed Packers DL coach Jerry Montgomery on Saturday. Presumably, he interviewed for the same position with the Pats. Hope this thread is open to front office news as well. Bernd Buchmasser of “Pats...

How many of those 214 failures were drafted to be backups or camp arms and never got the reps to develop or an opportunity to start a game much less play enough to establish themselves? Were Rohan Davey, Matt Cassel, Kevin O’Connell, Brian Hoyer (UDFA), Zac Robinson and Jacoby Brissett drafted...

I heard somewhere last off season that Marrone is really close to Bill O’Brien (on Alabama staff together in 2021?). My take is that doesn’t help the cause of those who wants him on the Pats staff.

How do you know coaches are hesitant to come here? Alex Van Pelt didn’t take an interview with a playoff team whose QB was his QB for two seasons with the Browns to accept the Patriots OC position. So, Zac Robinson chose to go to Atlanta with their new HC with whom he was on the Rams’ staff...

Perhaps, this doesn’t belong here. Forgive me if that’s the case, but Colin Cowherd had a report yesterday that Caleb Williams does not want to play for the Bears and that Williams wants to play in Washington which is where he was born. Perhaps, there’s something to that report and explains...
