PATRIOTS NEWS Mandatory Minicamp 6/9-11

[Raccoonsuit]

Romeo Doubs just turned 26 a couple of months ago.

I almost **** a brick seeing Romeo posted as 31. Why did they sign him over diggs and wasn't he in the same draft class as Christian Watson zoomed thru my head before you corrected them

 

[Borg140]

Doubs will be part of the long-term solution here. His contract will be a bargain by year 3.

He’ll be better here than in GB imo.

Yeah, well, I read that he's 36 so let's squeeze as much juice out of this lemon as we can.

 

[Family]

I'm in the camp to NOT trade Boutte for a 5th under any circumstances.

I also don't want to give him what I think he wants.

Some team will be desperate soon enough.

The WR room looks really good.

You guys will have to bear with him. He’s obviously a bit rusty & getting acclimated with two new receivers. He should be better with time…

 

[PatsFanInVa]

True. But for the life of me I will never understand that attitude.
These are highly insecure people

I’m not insecure. You’re insecure.

When is the mini camp for the Pats’ defense?

I want to see how Maye does when there’s a pass rush. I hear Swinson is ready to go!

 

[TommyD4207]

Hope so, he turns 43 in a few weeks, so I'm hoping there's still some room for improvement.

I heard he was 62!

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Not sure if this was posted already - worth seeing.

How to confuse a covering corner:

 

[mgteich]

Also, may I add, a hamstring “procedure” is WAY worse than just a hamstring injury. Pretty pissed off about this one, they traded UP for the guy for god’s sake. Didn’t they check out his medical ? Plus, they passed up a ton of guys in the draft, TEs, edge rushers, etc.

why don't you think that the team didn't check the medical stuff?

 

[captain stone]

Hollins makes 4.2 million a year. That's what a #3 WR makes.

Boutte probably wants close to Doubs like 2 years 25-30 million.

If the Patriots thought Boutte was a #2, they probably could have had him for less than Doubs.

Right or wrong, the board has to accept that the team has decided Boutte is not a #2, and that's where Boutte wants to be paid.

I don't think he's a #2 either but at the same time I don't want to be rid of him just yet; not until either the end of TC or somebody like Diggs is signed... Too bad the team didn't draft even one WR to soften the blow of a possible early Booty departure...

 

[captain stone]

Disappointed he didn't realize that already.

 

[captain stone]

Liar.

 

[BobDigital]

Liar.

I honestly like the edge group. Is it elite? No. Is it good? Yes. Landry got hurt early last season and was never the same. He is a good player. Jones is an upgrade compared to Chaisson. Add in Gabe Jacas and that is a pretty good 3. Not to mention Ponder should improve and if Swinson has anything that be a bonus. I still have hopes for him as a pass rush specialist. The talent is there. The upside is there
As is a very solid floor. I think our edge rush will be middle of the pack.
