It looks like the Pats are done making any major movements, waiting for the draft. I dont see them signing anyone except JAG's to fill camp roster spots. Though I feel we could use a running back or wide receiver (all of our receivers are over 30),I don't see us drafting or signing one. I think all our next big moves will come during the draft (maybe a trade ?). What do you ladies and gents think ?
 
I think their waitin on Draft to see if who they want is still available or trading up/down. BB knows there's still holes to fill. I think moves will made not sure exactly what our cap space is but I think their in pretty good shape to get players they will need.
 
I don't think there are any big FA left to sign. From what is left they may sign another one year deal UFA post draft depending on what unfolds over draft weekend and any UDFA's they land. Probably the one guy you could see signed is Koppen if they don't target or land an OG/C and he doesn't find a better landing spot and his price or terms become in range as a result. And there could be a veteran RB yet added to the mix for competition/depth depending on how they feel about the kids once OTA's start.
 
Unless you don't consider a guy like O.J. Atogwe or Yeremiah Bell a JAG, then yes, they're done with big name FA's. Oh, also if Andre Carter counts as a JAG then we're done.
 
What big free agent would they sign? Who's out there?

I wouldn't be shocked if the Pats traded for a significant veteran. I doubt it will be a big time player, but it could be an impact player. That is the only way they will add a bigger named veteran at this point, but I wouldn't hold my breathe since I don't know if there are any significant veterans available that the Pats may want.

I think the Pats will add several veterans after the draft. Many of these veterans might not be free agents at this point and will get cut sometime after the draft.

I think its almost certain that will happen.


Also given Lights status there could be some money freed up if he retires.
 
If the Browns pass on Trent Richardson, he probably won't get past the Rams at 6, who will then be looking to move Steven Jackson. Depending on how much new money is in his contract for this year and next, he could be a good pickup, for maybe a 4th.
 
There are no big FA's left. So yes they are done
