I'm sadly resigned to Cam being resigned

Love it. Especially at the reported numbers



A pretty good day so far.

Bethel was low key one of the best moves we've made in a long time. For now, we have an utter embarrassment of riches at ST, but now we know who's going to take over the Slater role long term. I suppose King could also be in that discussion.

Bill getting back to his sweet spot....special teams ....after jumping the shark with his 1st two moves: Lazy and Lousy

Love it. Especially at the reported numbers



A pretty good day so far.

$2m per year lines up with what Ebner got last year but he didn't count against the comp formula due to lack of defensive snaps. So that makes me think perhaps Bethel falls in that same zone.

Either way, Bethel is probably the successor to Slater when he hangs 'em up in '22 or the year after.

I'm glad our priorities are in the right place. Now about run defense and tight end....

We've been busy the past few days, good signing/ value and special teams hopefully will continue to be a strength of this team.

 

[farn]

Great news. Ravens should've never dangled him...

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

When you have the chance to pay a decent (non kicker) special teamer more than your kicker you have to take it.

 

[Jimke]

A good special teamer. I'm still looking for them to sign a good wide receiver and
a good tight end.

Fantastic news!

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Punt return coverage, with Slater and Bethel, was absolutely the best thing to watch about a Pats game in 2020.

 

[50-yard-line]

Very good news.

Now, go sign Curtis Samuel, Dalvin Tomlinson, Jesse James, Hunter Henry, David Andrews, Lawrence Guy, Corey Davis, Henry Anderson, and Suh...yeah, him.

I'm greedy.

 

[stinkypete]

Great move for a team who best offensive strategy right now is good special teams.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

This is great!

 

[slash83]

Best signing of the day.

I also felt good about Folk. But, yes....

 

[Ring 6]

Fantastic news!

Yes Mrs Lincoln, but about that play.....

 

[Ring 6]

Great move for a team who best offensive strategy right now is good special teams.

We have a human 3 and out at QB so punt coverage is busy work.
