    PATRIOTS NEWS Gronk elected to Pats Hall of Fame

    I have him at #3 I have him at #3, albeit barely, behind Gronk and Coates as well

    What is our plan for ILB?

    yeah. we saw both Spillane and Ellis miss time last year Spillane clearly was not 100% in the playoffs apparently he did not need surgery this offseason. I need to see more of Muma to feel better about the group in general. he couldn't get a single snap in the playoffs. his only meaningful...

    What is our plan for ILB?

    yet Gibbons secured a deal for $7.5m and Muma is on the roster bubble Gibbons played 48% of the defensive snaps and Muma played 2% Muma and Obiazor are nowhere near roster locks. It would not surprise me if the team keeps one or the other yes. thin sorry

    PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots pick up Gonzo’s 5th year option

    understood it is not needed right now the intention is to structure his deal to accommodate other deals, including Maye early is much, much better than late, when manipulating deals

    PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots pick up Gonzo’s 5th year option

    thats where I am coming from. the objective is to not squeeze Gonzo. the objective is to manage the cap that Gonzo is happy, and the contract structure fits well with Maye, WIlliams, Doubs and perhaps Brown the cap is best manipulated early

    What is our plan for ILB?

    I am not telling you any of the 3 are more athletic than Muma. I am telling you, last year they were better football players for the defense the NE pats played. I am also telling you that they are big losses for the defense, due to the amount of snaps they played. you touting Muma for...

    What is our plan for ILB?

    if you are depending on Muma and rookies, then you are agreeing with me. thin
  8. R

    What is our plan for ILB?

    Gibbons played 48% of the defensive snaps. Jennings 28% and Tavai 22%. Mapu 12% from last seasons top 6 players for LB defensive snaps, 4 are no longer on the team thats thin

    PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots pick up Gonzo’s 5th year option

    choices: 1) he can honor his contract 2) he can extend his contract and turn the next 2 years money into a portion of a bonus 3) he can sit out for a better contract
  10. R

    PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots pick up Gonzo’s 5th year option

    why would Gonzo accept that? his salary is now guaranteed for 2026 and 27 for a total of about $21m he could sign a new deal this morning for those two seasons for $65m. fully guaranteed he could tear his achilles getting out of bed tonight and never be the same player. he would be leaving...

    PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots pick up Gonzo’s 5th year option

    According to 2025 estimates from Forbes, the New England Patriots had an operating income (often used as a proxy for profit in these reports) of approximately $222 million. [1, 2] Key Financial Details (2025) Operating Income: ~$222 million Annual Revenue: Approximately $762 million Franchise...

    PATRIOTS NEWS Gronk elected to Pats Hall of Fame

    I thought Francis made some wow plays, and was that rare player in those days that combined elite size with elite athleticism. for me, what separates Gronk and Coates from Russ, was that Gronk and Coates showed that elite level every week. With Russ, we got flashes. I also thought Russ's...
  13. R

    What is our plan for ILB?

    I think he is a very athletic player with very good speed I thought players like him were what the team wanted last year, but we saw players like Tavai, Jennings and even Mapu get lots of snaps (out of necessity maybe?) perhaps Obiazor gets it quickly, and is on the field on certain downs and...

    PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots pick up Gonzo’s 5th year option

    if traded, Browns deal is 1/$29m with $4m in dead cap if cut year 2

    PATRIOTS NEWS Gronk elected to Pats Hall of Fame

    Gronk was clearly elite I would say Coates was as well Russ was not elite imo, but very good. agree or not, who do you have as #4 for the all time TE's for the Pats?
  16. R

    PATRIOTS NEWS Gronk elected to Pats Hall of Fame

    congrats Gronk extremely deserving but I also wish to offer shout outs to Mankins and Welker, who I feel strongly deserve both red jackets and gold jackets

    What is our plan for ILB?

    Junior College: During his two seasons at Iowa Western Community College (2020–2021), he played at the safety position. TCU: When he first transferred to Texas Christian University in 2022, he played as a nickel safety before switching to linebacker in 2023. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The Patriots drafted...

    What is our plan for ILB?

    perhaps Vrabel does perhaps additional moves are coming? clearly they targeted Hill early, and gave him pretty good money Muma imo is not even a roster lock. could not get on the field last year. no guaranteed money owed. Obiazor is an unknown. again, I am saying "thin", not "bad"
  19. R

    What is our plan for ILB?

    I was commenting on your "one of the top units in the league" mention. last year, they were. this year, 4 players are no longer on the team from that top unit. regardless if Ellis is good or bad, that last years top unit is now missing 4 of the 6 players
  20. R

    What is our plan for ILB?

    no one said the LB's were terrible the LB group is thin last year the unit was very good, but they then lost Gibbons, Tavai, Jennings and Mapu. that's a lot of snaps/tackles/pressures that left the group. the new players may or may not work out.
