PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 10

A trade after 1 Jun 27 is a $3M dead cap hit. ( iirc from OTC )
I think that is a solvable problem if he doesn’t end up with more than 500 yards in 2026.

And maybe by end of season he figures it out and is worth keeping in 27.
OR who the hell knows, maybe he figures it out by Sep-Oct.

You can’t trade a dude you just signed to a big FA contract. Terrible optics, and good luck getting other FA’s to sign

One thing I don't like is Jennings immediately jumping in at RB3. I had some interest in him last year at this time, but compared to Larison/Miller/Monty, he doesn't have half the burst, athleticism or moves that those guys have. Let alone threat in the pass game - which we need in that RB3 role.

Perhaps staff think that he is better at picking up the blitz, the #1 requirement of RB3.

You look for burst and pass-catching ability.

Your requirements many be different from that of the team.

Personally, I like Miller.

In any case, the team can simply be giving him reps so that they can better make decisions.

The best WR room in years and you guys are looking high and low for ways to gut it. This is why we cant have nice things.

Hear, hear!!

Has marcellas dial done anything? I was hoping he could be the boundary back up

He hasn’t done much. Prunty is the leader at this point on the outside.

Yep…Jennings is probably the best blocker out of the backups but he’s slow. Montgomery has burst, Miller has a nice jump cut and can get tough yards.

2027!!! PUUHHHLEASE. Get real with your fantasy objections. IF Pats give him a whole 15 months to get with the program and he can’t & THEN They trade him post 1 June 2027. how the heck does that = Bad optics.

If they did it Sep 2026 (which they can’t financially), …..MAYBE bad, But IMO you could still sell the „optics“ as …. ‚hey, we BOTH made a bad choice. Thought it would work in our system…..but this is best for both the player and our team. ‚

When did Phil Perry turn into such a prick? He asked Drake today about his contract for next year and phrased it "are you concerned about your contract extension talks for next year based on what is going on with Gonzalez". What a stupid question to ask Drake and the way he phrased it was so unnecessarily drama filled. Of course, now it is the entire first spot on Boston Sports Tonight. I can't stand the Boston sports media, even the good ones eventually turn into click bait, rage baiting ass holes. Except for Mike Reiss who I respect for not going down this path. There used to be a distinction between Boston Sports Talk which has always been this way and other journalists but with Social Media they all act like this now. Journalism is dying a slow death not just in sports and it is not healthy.

I noticed this with Perry last year.
Stirred up Diggs drama without much basis.
He's another on the path to full douchebag.
Tip for ya Phil, you aren't important, never will be, now go eff off.
