    Patriots Rumor A.J. Brown trade rumors heat up - Should Patriots get him?

    I'd rather sign Pierce than AJ Brown. Much younger, ascending, great character. Pierce is hitting the FA market - asking $24M/yr. x 4 (according to Lazar) He's so much more worthwhile than another unknown risk of a draft pick. Pierce (X), Boutte (X, Z), Diggs (Z, Slot), Williams (Z), Hollins...

    Greenard?

    I'm sick of getting all the old DE's on their last leg - Judon, Landry, and rumors of Crosby even. I know everyone will freak out at that. But, Crosby is 29 and had some sort of knee issue. I'm not saying he won't be productive, but paying top dollar for a guy who's probably played his best...

    UFA Pats should consider at Positions of need

    RB - Maybe Gainwell if FA, but best if Larison wins #3 back (he's our Skattebo) WR - I think Doubs would be a great addition to what we need TE - No on those 3, Yes on Likely or Otton

    Breer: Vrabel says the Pats will approach the offseason getting younger, cheaper, & better options

    We can't get much younger or cheaper than we were this year - one of the youngest teams (in terms of playing time on the field) And a lot of contribution from rookie-deal players, or reclamation projects on prove-it deals. So, next step is to get better - both in development from those young...

    NFL News OT: J-E-T-E HC Aaron Glenn falls asleep at Scouting Combine

    Glenn is the Jets version of Mayo. But the Jets are too stupid to fix a mistake quickly, just look at Zach Wilson... and the last 15 years.

    PATRIOTS NEWS Pats Coaching Staff Departures

    That was one of my early points after SB. OL was still one of our weakest units on the team, and I didn't think a 3-headed coaching monster on OL was a great thing. So maybe addition by subtraction. And McAdoo leaving would be a great thing. I can't believe he stuck with Vrabel for a year.

    Patriots Rumor LaCanfora: WR Mike Evans and LT Rasheed Walker Could Be On Patriots’ Radar

    As for Evans - no way. We already wasted a ton of money on JSS & Parker. I'm all in on Pierce - he's like a less-talented mix of Moss & Edelman.

    Patriots Rumor LaCanfora: WR Mike Evans and LT Rasheed Walker Could Be On Patriots’ Radar

    Man, people are so dumb. So over reactionary. It's like if tik-tok had a jump to conclusions mat. Campbell was 22yrs, played next to another rookie (out of position) all year, and went to the freaking SB. He certainly has some holes in his game - which really showed up after his injury +...

    Patriots Player Departure Pats cut Antonio Gibson

    Kinda sad, just because he helped bring veteran stability in a couple really shaky years. But, truth is, he might not be the same again, even though he's not that old. If Larison is RB3, that would be great. Henderson needs to get more consistent and specialized.

    Patriots Rumor A.J. Brown trade rumors heat up - Should Patriots get him?

    Pierce would be a star in NE. I think he'd either take over Hollins' role and allow Diggs to work completely in the slot (making Pop expendable). And letting Boutte & Williams be Z's with occasional X duties. Chism would back up Diggs 1 more year before turning into Edelman :)

    Patriots Rumor The pending UFA: who do we keep? Who walks?

    Must Keep: Hawkins Keep if Cheap: *Chaisson, Lowe, **Tonga - in order *Chaisson was good but not consistently dominant. If we can somehow escape Landry's contract and give it to Chaisson I'd be happy. But if he's going to demand DE1 $$, then we need to find a #1 EDGE (draft rd 1) & Solid Vet...

    PATRIOTS NEWS Kuhr hired as defensive coordinator; Terrell Williams moves to a new role [edit: was Kuhr was frontrunner for the job]

    Pretty cool when guys that hardly anyone knows step in and become instant game-changers. Love it for Kuhr. Hope he sticks for a while. What I'm curious about is the 3-headed dud at OL coach. We thought Marrone & crew were doing great things, but it seemed that almost everybody regressed down...

    We absolutely should sign an LG in FA:

    We have a LG that should have been playing in the playoffs - Ben Brown. He was great in his fill-in duty again this year when Wilson was out. I don't get the hate. He's bigger, stout, mean-streak, now has 2 years of experience here. Give him a shot. We also have Wallace that was inactive all...

    Stefon Diggs: Contract

    I'm on the fence with Diggs. It was a VERY rare situation that a 32yr diva WR was a gold mine. But I don't know how long that can last. IF they can restructure, then it might be nice to have some continuity - he is still a productive vet. But not at $26M. Re-work it to a 2/$36M base +...

    Patriots Rumor A.J. Brown trade rumors heat up - Should Patriots get him?

    Hard to know how long Diggs stays pleasant. All those types turn eventually. And, because of that, I'm not sure how much we could trust AJB being a good locker room guy. Is he all in? Would he and Diggs butt heads? And, it'd be another aging WR that we'd sink a lot of money into. However...

    Semi-OT: Drake Maye, Ilia Malinin, and Will Campbell

    This reminded me of the 2007 SB. The DL just vastly superior to our OL. I do put a lot of blame on JMD and Marrone - they didn't scheme for a quick game at all, nor had their OL ready (+ backs/TE's) to really help that much. I don't think it was Maye's shoulder - it was the pressure and not...

    2026 Schedule Predictor

    Our schedule is horrible! We'll be lucky to go 10-7. (6-2 Home, 4-5 Road) I know that sounds crazy right now, and people will scream at me for being a hater. But it's a complete opposite from this year - the easiest to one of the toughest in the league.

    2026 Season Opener ...

    @Mia or @JAX to start. We have 9 road games, and would like to get one of the Florida games in summer out of the way.

    What should Maye work on next after the Season?

    1. He needs to be able to get tougher on his OL & WR. He's so kind and wants to be best friends with teammates, but some guys just aren't doing their job well enough. 2. He needs to be better. Seeing blitz, adjusting protections and hot routes, and mostly knowing when to give up and duck...

    Improving the left side of the line

    Will was clearly not ready to come back from injury. He got manhandled a lot in the playoffs. But he can improve and gain strength, mobility and quickness with training. Wilson however - is undersized. I get that everyone thinks he's so athletic, and in college he's big enough, but not pros...
