"DE" Weakest Link

[rkarp1]

Clowney would be a great veteran addition who can stand up or put his hand in the dirt. He played for Vrabel in Houston and Tennessee. I'm surprised they haven't reunited yet.

Clowney would be my first option if Landry or Jacas can't play this season
but they can
the Pats are paying Landry and Jones, and used draft capital on Jacas and Swinson
they seemingly are very happy with Ponder
I would think Clowney is an emergency only option, and right now there is no emergency

Same here Rain. It's odd because as smart as Vrabel is he knows his edges are lacking. I have 0 faith Landry will be off PUP during camp and may even possibly Retire who knows?? I Mean Bosa even would be a nice veteran addition as well as Clowney. Just weird not more has been added thus far at edge.

are you that silly to believe Vrabel does not have a very good handle on current player injuries?

You realize the Patriots know Landry and Jacas timetable from the doctors to return right?

Clowney is a DE, he also wants starter money and snaps… not to be a bandaid. He might only be a bandaid at this point, but he’s waiting for a great opportunity.

That’s not here and now… if by the end of preseason the Pats or any team look thin at edge that’s when he’ll sign. He can skip most of camp that way and maximize his earning potential. Barnett the same…. not sure who Boston is?

Until Landry and Jacas actually step on the field we are thin at edge no matter how we slice it. Bosa not Boston I corrected that. I have more faith Jacas will before Landry does.

What correlation does that have to who's actually available now? Of course he does he's the head coach! The conversation piece is regarding the depth. Currently we have None with jacas and Landry unavailable.

I’ll wait for camp to start before concern sets in. The team isn’t rushing to sign anyone because they know what the doctors are saying… nobody here does.

It would be really, really great to overpay for Bosa because we are thin on June 26th and have only TWO players who are currently injured and who will likely contribute in 2026. NOT!

If EITHER Landry or Jacas were healthy for Game 1, I wouldn't want us to have spent the money for Bosa.

Consider now much different this is from suggesting that we sign a TE like Smith who would be an upgrade to Dippre.

Or consider how much different this is from suggesting that we sign a veteran backup IOL as an upgrade to Wallace.

or a backup safety as an upgrade to Brown.
