I’m having a hard time being excited about the future…

Mills Judon Have been our best Free agent signings.

Bourne is cheap so whoever the OC is he should at least be at camp.
I’m my mind it’s Thornton and a whole bunch of new guys.

I wouldn't go higher than even $10M per... Unless I'm really Really under-estimating the WR marketplace for the Spring of 2023, which I admit I could very well be doing...
meyers is a top 3 wr free agent this year and since WR Position is paid like hell in FA i expect him to get more, like JerofMayo said maybe around 15, i wouldn't pay him that, i would rather draft a slot wr on day 2 of the draft, an edelman/welker type who are really quick, leave thornton/parker and some free agent on the outside.

i would not resign agholor, trade bourne away, not resign meyers. our WR Corp needs to be overhauled completely
 
Sweep the house clean (sort of) and I'd get excited.
HC-Flores
OC- Kingsbury (if he gets fired)
DC- Mayo

Let them build their staff from there....but do it right after the season ends in order to maximize the offseason process.
Use the higher draft position to get a CB1 and OL help. FA help for DT, and WR.

What happens to Steve Belichick? Is his dad going to demote him?
 
2022 draft is being really overrated. Jack Jones and Marcus Jones were good gets. We drafted an average guard first round, a low skilled WR in the 2nd, and a couple decent running backs. Not really moving mountains.

Okay cool, so then what when Mayo and Kingsbury get HC jobs in 2024? Flores failed three times at putting together an offensive staff in Miami, and most of his defensive connections are still employed elsewhere. This looks like an okay setup for a year and then an absolute nightmare beyond that.

Okay I'm not at "blow it all up" stage yet, and I'm sure I will come out in favor of it the day Kraft announces he's doing that. That said... "That's bold!"

At least the guys you want to get have had some success.

Now that said, it's a dream team of ex-Patriots of one stripe or another, so we start out knowing and liking their names... I mean, I'll bite, but out of even more ignorance than when guys yell the name of a receiver they wish they had in fantasy as a personnel move.

My feeling is, what a great overhaul, and frankly I'm probably too lazy to ever ague too hard against it (my main thing would be my bias in favor of the 6x SB-winning coach (and 9x AFC championship coach)

Already covered, above, but in this world, the new staff can evaluate him without any shade of nepotism, and we can determine his strengths and weaknesses. There are some issues BB clearly displays, and the loyalty jones-nepotism tendency is one of them. (Though when trying to think about moving on, we display the same questionable "dynastic" tendency
 
No one on the team is helping increase their market rate in FA, but Meyers will likely command $15m/year or so..

Would love to keep him on the team, but not if we have to pay him like a #1 WR to do it, because hes not a #1 WR
I like Myers, and more often then not it's been he and rhamondre that have been the offense this season.. Unless he's with McDaniels I believe he's stays. He's a guy you want to keep. Undrafted, great hands, runs great routes always open.
 
Yep, as long as there's even one Belichick in the building, there is No Future in Foxborough.
Sometimes when your accustomed to doing things a certain way your reluctant to change.. I believe BB is a very,very intelligent man. He's a football historian he knows everything we know watching this offense this season. To me, he knows change is needed!! The difference I feel is ownership will have a lot of say of course on how those changes will happen.
 
Come on man, this would be at least entertaining.

Agreed! However Thornton is skilled , he has elite speed. His acclimation to the NFL was hampered by injury and the dysfunctional offense. He'll need to add some weight in off season and continue to study defenses. Jack Jones has the attitude, the foot work, the mettle that it takes to be a good CB in the NFL.

Marcus Jones phenomenal athlete, a speed demon, a Jack knife weapon for the team. Harris and strong are skilled backs who have great burst and quickness. Them with Rham are going to be a problem for opposing defenses going forward.
