Hopkins Headed to Tennessee

[Schmo]

I blame the bacon in the clam chowder.

I blame the income taxes.

DeVante Parker - injury prone WR3
Juju Smith-Schuster - zone beating WR2
Kendrick Bourne - WR3
Tyquan Thornton - unknown

Five straight years without a number #1 option. Not a serious group of pass catchers for a QB in the third year of his rookie deal IMO.

 

[MrTibbs]

Welp, that sucks. Time will tell if the Pats really missed out or dodged a bullet.

Hope the Pats are able to make use of their cap space in a way that helps the team now but that seems unlikely.

Bill still thinks it's the system and wasn't Brady. Mac needs actual TALENT around him. Thanks for the memories Bill but his ways are so outdated. hand the reins to Billy O.

Better than the Chiefs. I wonder if he’s thinking the East is too competitive. The south really only has JAX to compete against

It’s a solid enough group, but one without a star and also one with zero margin for error. The latter is the most concerning, especially considering that injuries at that position was such a significant problem in 2022.

All the Madden-players on here sure are disappointed. Relax, folks.

Let’s put this in some perspective: it’s July 16th and Hopkins had a grand total of 2/32 teams interested in his services.

 

[Grogan14]

Now they can afford to bring in Dalvin Cook

 

[RobertWeathers]

Titans will probably win more games than the Patriots, they play the Texans and Colts twice for a start.

They also play the NFC south who all stink.

Jags beat the Chargers and made it interesting vs KC in the divisional. They are on the way up.

They don't stink.

I wanted D-Hop but he made his choice.

We can move on now good luck being insignificant D-Hop. As bad as Mac played last season he still have more upside than any Tennessee QB right now. Would love to hear the contract details. We can bet Vrabel Over paid. Really hope you don't blow your knees out D-Hop I would really shed a tear.

Quite a bit of jilted lover syndrome on display here.

Solid I could buy that, certainly aren’t scaring any DBs or defensive coordinators this season. Health is a major factor, who knows how JuJus knee is, Parker is prone to injury I’d be shocked if he plays 17 games, Thorton im not yet calling injury prone but his health is concerning a bit. Is the team ready to move forward and play KB after what happened last year?

So many question marks with this WR core. Bill hasn’t put Mac in a position to succeed for two years now, very disappointed.

 

[RobertWeathers]

It's not my money but seems high for a player who is 31 and has missed almost 1/2 the games the last 2 years....

 

[Grogan14]

Not at all unexpected. Definitely tells you that BB does not really think the team can seriously compete for a top spot in the AFC this year.
If this is the case, its a good decision to not throw cap space out the window for a non difference maker.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

Lmao through contract wasn't even that expensive!

Of course the Pats still wouldn't get him. Geez

 

[cupofjoe1962]

Well at least we can carry the available $16,932,000 into 2024.

We are going to have a boatload of cash available for 2024 with very little quality free agents available in 2024.

This is going to be interesting
Just hope we don’t overpay for mediocre “juju type” talent.

I would rather roll with UDFA, than another JuJu signing.

It's only a solid enough group if you don't go look at the pass catchers other teams are fielding. How many NFL teams don't have at least one player better than our best receiver? Are there any?

 

[Thunderhead]

What a ****ing joke. Pats are a 7 win team.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

Hopefully the Patriots can draft another greatest of all time type QB soon so Belichicks nickel and dime approach to building a roster doesn’t result in a long stretch of 8 win seasons
