PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 22

[The Gr8est]

Sigh……


You know he will cost us more than Gonzo in a couple of years.

I think that is the wrong was to look at it, if you don't have a known quantity at the thin positions, you may need to carry more bodies there so you have more options on who to use.

But they need to be worthy of carrying. We know the receivers are worthy..

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

The only two "promising" WRs are Williams and Chisim at the moment.....all of the UDFAs are long shots, and everyone else is a know entity.

I have never lobbied for any of the UDFAs to make the 53.
Williams is on the team, it’s not even a question.
Chism if Boutte is traded is on the team.
It gets interesting with Chism if Boutte isn’t traded.

No one is allowed to make more than Gonzo apparently.

 

[PatsFan2]

Who??

 

[DaBruinz]

I have Never seen a Team carry 7 WR's on a Active Roster: 6 might even be a stretch. The expanded Taxi squad gives Teams some flexibility.

Yes. You have. The Patriots have done it before. I pointed this out to you when you made comments about it last year. Yes, it was brief, they have.

 

[DaBruinz]

Pats will need to make 2 corresponding moves with the signing of Haack and Conley. My guess is that Dalcourt will be one of those sent packing. Possibly one of the WR or Possibly Casey Rogers or Pharms.

 

[Water Boy]

Why the hell would he feel good about an offense that was 2nd in the league in scoring & added not only himself but also an All-Pro receiver, young emerging TE, improved OL, a top FB…with a young MVP runner up at QB??…
Strange..

Especially given our lack of depth according to Debbie Downer Vrabes.

 

[Uptown]

Christ!…You see that f#cking spin move??? Freeney vibes. That’s a baaaad man…


20-0

See I kinda disagree, if you have a starter at a position, but no backup you feel good about, you may need to carry two so-so guys to try and cover that backup spot. You are hedging your bet that one of the two backups can at least play at a NFL level.

It would suck to have to waste a roster spot on a unqualified guy, but it happens all the time.

Fair enough. I understand your perspective. Certainly makes sense..I guess us finally having an excellent WR corp has me (us) selfishly wanting to hoard them all.

IF Doubs learns our Offense we're going be a Tough out. I really like his size.

Great route runner.

 

[PatsFan2]

Great route runner.

TD machine too.

No way they cut him.

He's one of the best development players they have on offense.

Today those players sit on the practice squad all the time, and are simply called up on game day.

It depends on the situation. The Patriots might keep Jacobs and Obiazor as two backup linebackers even though they might be so so now, because they are developmental players.

But no need to keep a JAG veteran on the 53 anymore.

IF Nick DeG is the real deal would losing Chism matter?? Not that I'm advocating it: but it's a risk I would probably take. Chism is not a boundary Receiver he's more Slot: Teams are not going to sell out to acquire them. I love his improvements but it's no mystery Pop Douglas has had a better camp and is a better overall player. Six WR Chism to our PS.

 

[rochrist]

Then look at Maye, way off to the left all by himself.

He won't make it to the PS. Multiple teams will claim Chism.

Josh Allen would have a field day with a receiver like Chism. He could play the Beasley role well.

I don't know about Nick D, but I suspect he would be claimed too, Everyone's so afraid that a JAG at a weak position will be claimed, but teams are going to see the WR situation, and perhaps take a chance. Every team will assume Chism was cut because of a numbers situation, not because he was a Muma or Hudson. Chism is automatically gone, if unprotected.

So we might lose a WR no matter how many we keep, but I wouldn't worry at all about other positions, except Morton.
