I would love for slater to return for 1 more year, maybe even as a player/assistant special teams coach. He was a beast in 2019. After next year, he should be ready to be our special teams coach full time.
How about Bethel?
The Patriots value their special teams units, and the players appreciate it - The Boston GlobeThe Patriots have also made it a point to pounce when an already-excellent specialist becomes available. They signed Bethel to a two-year deal right after the Ravens cut him for roster space.
So Bethel is a free agent too? Do we try to keep him and King? I love Slater, hope he's back
OK CousinsI will throw a few into the mix here;
Kicking-Gostkowski at $3.5mm is too much. Folk showed me enough to bring him back to compete.
Coverage-It has been great. Bethel and Slater are elite. Reasonable deals in FA. Remember Bolden is signed and in the mix. He has value as both ST and some snaps. Ebner might be man out if one had to choose to free up the roster spot
Returns-Gunner might be back healthy but I am looking for more production. I would offer up a third for Any Isabella. The Cards never used him right. 13 targets and he caught 9. He's not a FA but he can certainly stretch the filed..
DW Toys.
So what? Bailey can, and he’s going to be on the roster even if he wasn’t kicking off, so it’s not like you’re burning a roster spot by using him for kickoffs.Slater is still playing a high level.
No to Folk. He cannot kick off
It’s up to Slater whether he wants to play or not. BB is just along for the ride.Slater was great on the field, but I think his steady approach is very much appreciated in the locker room. Let’s keep him.
Both Bethel & Folk were excellent pickups. I hope they retain Bethel.
Yeah really could have used a returner like they had last year with Patterson to give the offense this year more favorable starting position. Every bit helps.We absolutely need a returner. As much as watching our guys just fair catch all year was fun, it would be nice to have someone back there.
I really hope Slater returns.
I wonder if the bears would cut him when he comes in around 6mil per year. He was good but his hands were terrible while he was here. Still did enough good things to be WR5 here though.Yeah really could have used a returner like they had last year with Patterson to give the offense this year more favorable starting position.
