PATRIOTS NEWS 2016 COMBINED: Pats Roster Transactions

[DaBruinz]

Backman released and Baby Gronk re-signed.

 

[Mack Herron]

White, Lewis, and now Foster is a lot of little RBs.

I'm surprised baby Gronk hasn't been promoted, but I guess he hasn't learned the offense yet. Wouldn't mind him as the 3rd TE, he does have some talent. Can run as a FB and catch like a TE.

 

[Clonamery]

White, Lewis, and now Foster is a lot of little RBs.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

 

[DaBruinz]

I think I have the roster moves updated with Gronk going to the IR, Backman's release, Baby Gronk, being resigned, Foster being signed to the PS and then the Pro Roster. Which leaves an open spot on the PS by my count..

 

[Love The Drake]

im sure were trying to bring Backman back

Looks like Backman is not coming back.

The New England Patriots worked out rookie WR Dez Stewart on Tuesday
Stewart spent training camp and preseason with the Washington Redskins after he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He most recently was on the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. Stewart, an Ohio Dominican product, ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash with a 1.52-second 10-yard split, 36-inch vertical leap, 10-foot, 2-inch broad jump, 4.30-second short shuttle and 7-second 3-cone at Toledo’s pro day in March.

The Patriots also hosted G Chris Watt and C James Stone on visits Tuesday. Watt was a 2014 third-round pick by the San Diego Chargers who was waived off the PUP list last month. He started eight games in two seasons with the Chargers. Stone started 10 games in two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons after going undrafted out of Tennessee.

Looks like they gave up on TEs. But they sure like to bring in OLs.

Let me put this here .. a reminder of a transaction that BB maybe would like to have back ..

I totally wanted him back and thought BB blew it. His deal from CHI was totally reasonable for a guy that big and talented. Brown/Branch/Hicks/Valentine would have been the best DT rotation in the NFL.

Wasn't the report that Hicks had an offer from here and chose Chicago for playing time?

 

[The Gr8est]

I remember reading on a Colts messageboard, a couple of years ago, that some Colts fans thought that Whalen would be a perfect fit for the Pats.

And of course, in addition to PR experience he can also play QB in a pinch.

Didn't see an offer, but more PT.

I heard that but not 100% I believe that was THE issue. He is playing a ton in CHI. I don't think he leaves the field.

I had heard that the Pats offered a 3 year deal which was around $3.5m per season and a bonus south of what he got from CHI.

He impressed the hell out of me here. With that said, to BBs credit he found Valentine who might be next year's Hicks.

China is going to to kidnap BB when the NYJFL* force teams to play in China.
