Have you all forgotten about Mr. Crable? ;-)

yep, and I would argue that even if we draft a DE, Wright will see a lot of action there.

The huge unknown is OLB.

I bet Wright will start opening day while a rookie develops.

I do expect a rookie to start from day 1 at OLB, or Shawn Crable I guess, lol.

Crable is a myth. The dude doesn't exist.

Warren--Wilfork--(unknown)

T. Banta-Cain--Mayo--Guyton--(unknown)

Butler--Meriweather--Sanders--Bodden

Only two starting spots on defense to fill and there's a long time to opening day. Looking good.

That actually looks a lot nicer than I thought it would. Anyone know what the heck is going on with Shawn Crable btw?

Hopefully now that this is done the Pats will finally start making some moves in FA...we now have all of our main free agents protected...

say what now

More like Made of Glass Crable. I think BB will give him one more shot in TC.

Ninkovich I think over Crable.

McKenzie next to Mayo inside. Guyton moves back outside. Wright at DE.

I'll be very, very surprised if Chung does not make a big jump in year 2 and supplants Sanders. Though I love so much of what Sanders brings, Chung is going to be a player.

Ninkovich I think over Crable.

I've been saying since he came to the team that Ninkovich is a player. He can set the edge and he plays smart and seems to be around the ball. I'll bet he plays a big part in the defense this season.

I just got back from the gym. Is this legit or not!?

Re: Lombardi: Pats have re-signed Bodden [Agent: "Rumors are premature at best"]

According to Reiss, Adam Shefter is reporting that Bodden has agreed to a deal in principle but no contract has been signed. According to Bodden's agent nothing has been signed and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest.

Agreement in principle. The agent is protesting it's not a done deal, but it's everywhere.

So, contract guys, what does this mean? Are they haggling about guaranteed money?

Where's everywhere? Any links?

I thought his real identity was "The Invisible Man."
Apparently "Shawn Crable" is his civvie identity.

That is huge. That improves our prospects markedly.

It's legit, Schefter is reporting they have agreed in principle and he's never wrong about this stuff. Lombardi jumped the gun and/or worded it poorly with his Pats have re-signed Bodden statement. There's a difference between re-signing and agreeing in principle and Bodden's agent took exception.

Seems close to confirmed.
