2021 Patriots Roster Discussion Thread

Supply of FAs will be UP as more than usual # of team's trim to the cap.
Demand for FAs will be DOWN as cap decreases "unexpectedly" leaving more than usual # of teams somewhat more cap constrained.
Unless one of 31 other GMs irrationally falls in love with one of our guys, offers will be less than in normal cap growth years.

i can see Flores going after guys like James White and Adam Butler, and Judge going after Wise. But overall I think you are right and there are many variables at play the next couple of offeseasons.

If I remember correctly, I had a brief look at him and thought he was slow and soft

Slow and soft will fit in nicely.

You can be successful in the nfl as a slow receiver, if you know how to get open.

Can anyone explain how the Pats were the top team at getting pressure in 2020?

because we had such a terrible defense that needs to be blown up; ask our posters.

That column is for hurries only, so plays where the defender gets close enough to affect the QB without knocking him down or sacking him. Winovich, in particular, was tied for the league lead with 24 hurries, but only tied for 64th in knockdowns and 51st in sacks. More hurries are better than fewer hurries, but ideally you'd want to see more of those hurries turned into knockdowns and sacks instead.

And it wasn't because they blitzed more than others. Interesting that the Bucs and Chiefs are Top 10.
