Darrelle Revis signs with Pats​


March 13, 2014:
Patriots officially announce the signing of 28-year old All Pro free agent Darrelle Revis, which had been reported in the media the previous day.


​



CB Darrelle Revis Joins Patriots Defense

One day after losing their starting number one cornerback to the Denver Broncos, the Patriots went out and made a splash in free agency that should hopefully see them be able to improve their secondary heading into next season.

Patriots sign cornerback Darrelle Revis to one year, $12 million deal

The Patriots have signed Darrelle Revis to a one-year, $12 million contract Wednesday night, just hours after the five-time Pro Bowl cornerback was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Revis Island is now located in Foxborough.​

The Patriots made a large splash in the free agent market by signing Darrelle Revis to a one-year, $12 million contract Wednesday night, just hours after the five-time Pro Bowl cornerback was released by Tampa Bay after the Buccaneers were unable to trade him.​



Patriots sign veteran CB Darrelle Revis -- Patriots.com
During his seven NFL seasons, Revis has played and started in 95 regular-season games and has registered 344 total tackles, 21 interceptions with three returned for touchdowns, five forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries. He has also played in and started in six postseason games, tallying 23 total tackles and two interceptions.​

He has been selected to five Pro Bowl (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013), earned three first-team All Pro honors (2009, 2010 and 2011) and was named AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 after finishing the year with 72 total tackles and six interceptions.​



Patriots bow to inevitability, sign Darrelle Revis to one-year, $12 million deal

One way or another, Darrelle Revis was heading back to the AFC East. (David Drapkin/AP) From the moment it was rumored that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were
www.si.com
From the moment it was rumored that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were thinking that they'd rather trade or release cornerback Darrelle Revis than pay him $16 million for another season, and from the moment that the Denver Broncos signed former New England Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib to an enormous six-year, $57 million deal with $26 million guaranteed, the drumbeats around the NFL spoke to one seeming inevitability: Revis was heading to Foxboro to replace Talib and become the newest jewel in Bill Belichick's defense.​



Darrelle Revis agrees with Patriots

Cornerback Darrelle Revis and the New England Patriots have reached agreement on a one-year, $12 million deal, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
www.espn.com
While Revis' deal has a cash value of $12 million this year, as reported by ESPN, the sides added a second year to the pact. The second year is worth $20 million, a sum so large it makes it unlikely the Patriots would pay it, thus making Revis an unrestricted free agent again in 2015.​

The second year helps the team spread the salary-cap charges for Revis over two seasons instead of taking one $12 million cap hit in 2014. It also eliminates the chance he could be given the franchise tag by the Patriots in 2015.​



How Darrelle Revis helps the Patriots

So the Patriots have added Darrelle Revis. How will he make them better? Let’s explore a few ways.
www.boston.com
Surely the Patriots’ postseason failures in recent years partially motivated their pursuit of Revis. The memories of damage that Mario Manningham, Anquan Boldin, and Demaryius Thomas did to New England’s Super Bowl dreams in recent years still linger. Revis can go a long way toward neutralizing the potential for a playoff letdown. He has six games of postseason experience with the Jets, but twice lost in the AFC title game. So he, too, will be motivated to succeed on the NFL’s biggest stage.​

It’s a dagger for the Jets​

Revis was the pride and joy of the Jets — and their fans — in his six years there. At one point, there was talk that he would be a Jet for life. But that marriage fell apart when they dealt him to Tampa Bay last year. And surely, in sending him to Tampa, the Jets must have wanted to keep him as far away from the AFC East (and especially New England) as possible. But now he’s back, and wearing the colors of the Jets’ hated rivals. It will be a bitter pill for Jets fans — who’ve already watched the Patriots march to five straight division crowns — to watch him bolster the résumé of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick next season.​



Stars aligned for Patriots, Revis

The Patriots had the flexibility to react swiftly and land top CB Darrelle Revis.
www.espn.com
Consider that ...​

Another team had to blow away free agent cornerback Aqib Talib with an offer because the Patriots planned to be competitive to retain him within what they felt was reasonable. The Denver Broncos went above and beyond.​

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, under a new general manager/head coaching regime, had to come to the conclusion that Revis wasn't going to be on their roster.​


That was just the first step.​

The next was seeing if there would be a willing trade partner for Revis among 31 other teams. There wasn't, in part because Revis wasn't willing to restructure his $16 million-per-year salary. So the Bucs released him.​

Then it came down to what the open market would bear for Revis and what was truly important to him at this time. Long-term deal? Short-term? Another $16 million-per-year deal?​

From a pure dollars standpoint, could the Patriots be competitive?​

And even if the Patriots were in the mix, would Revis really be interested in coming to New England to play for a coach he dubbed a "jerk" while playing a word-association game on "SportsCenter"?​


Finally, could the Patriots absorb the significant salary-cap charge?​

It's almost like the X's and O's in a football playbook for a play with a high degree of difficulty -- you draw them up and it might look good on paper, but it won't work unless every little thing is accounted for and every player follows through on his responsibility. The margin for error is slim.​

In this case, the end result was made even more stunning by the sudden change that preceded it.​



With Revis move, Belichick breaks Gang Green nation’s heart again

The last thing the Jets wanted is the nightmare scenario that unfolded swiftly Wednesday night, the Great White Shark lurking off the free-agent waters in New England, the bloodthirsty Bill Belichi…

Lonie Paxton​



Happy 48th birthday to Lonie Paxtion
Born March 13, 1978; from Corona, California
Patriot long snapper, 2000-2008; uniform #66
Signed as an undrafted rookie free agent on April 19, 2000
Pats résumé: 9 seasons, 141 regular season and 14 postseason games; three super bowl championships; Pats All-Dynasty Team


Lonie Paxton's father was a Rams season ticket holder, and he took his son with him to their games. Their seats just happened to be right above where the long snappers would practice during a game. The younger Paxton became a two-way lineman and long snapper at Sacramento State. The Patriots signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2000, nine days after releasing veteran long snapper Mike Bartrum. Lonie Paxton went on to become an incredibly dependable special teams player for the Patriots, missing just three games over nine seasons. Paxton snapped on many game winning field goals for Adam Vinatieri and Stephen Gostkowski with the Patriots, and earned three super bowl rings along the way.



The iconic and often repeated image of a player making a snow angel after a game winning score began in the Snow Game, aka the Tuck Rule Game. The player making that snow angel was Paxton, and he repeated the scene a few weeks later in the Silence of the Rams super bowl victory - in confetti this time, rather than in snow.

Paxton has kept busy since retiring from the NFL. In 2003 he established the Active Force Foundation, a non-profit organization that designs and donates special sports equipment to physically challenged athletes, has has worked with the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Sacramento, and he later worked as the Mass Sports Marketing Manager for GoPro cameras. Paxton is now a partner with a consulting/venture capital/private equity investment firm called The Critical Co in southern California.


On a side note, I just discovered that Paxton married a Taunton native named Meghan Vasconcellos, and they have four kids. The attractive woman briefly dated Tom Brady - but dumped him because she was more into Paxton and his biceps.



Lonie Paxton recalls origin of his snow angel celebration

Former Patriots long snapper Lonie Paxton stopped by the media workroom today at Gillette Stadium and told some old stories. Paxton is in town because the Patriots are honoring the 22 players who won three Super Bowls with the team a decade…

Lonie Paxton Retiring As A Patriot; Reflects On His Famous Snow Angel Celebration

A career as a long-snapper in the NFL is a truly unique one, and Lonie Paxton is ending his where it all began.
www.cbsnews.com
Paxton will forever be remembered for his post-victory snow angel on the Foxboro Stadium field after Adam Vinatieri booted a game-winning 23-year field goal against the Oakland Raiders in the 2001 AFC Divisional Round. Vinatieri's kick was the final play, ever, at the old stadium, and is immortalized with a plaque at Patriot Place where Paxton's snap landed in Ken Walter's hands, setting up the franchise-changing kick that snowy Saturday evening.

"Snappers got to do something to get noticed other than screwing up the play," Paxton said with a smile Tuesday down at Gillette Stadium. "It's been a fun thing to continue to talk about. We have a monument in Patriot Place that signifies the spot where it went down, so that's pretty special to be part of Patriots history with some of the greats of all time."

10:19 interview:







Dec 4, 2005: Adam Vinatieri become the Patriots' all-time leading scorer, passing Gino Cappelletti's previous record with a 34-yard field goal in the final seconds of the first half. That kick gave Vinatieri 1,131 career points, passing Cappelletti's mark of 1,130 points. That total had stood as the franchise record for 34 years and 349 days (533½ games) since Cappelletti - one of the original Boston Patriots - retired following the 1970 season. The Patriots beat the Jets by the score of 16-3.

Julius Adams​


March 13, 1971:
Patriots sign their second round draft pick, Julius Adams, a defensive tackle from Texas Southern.

Jules would proceed to hold the franchise record for most games played, until some guy named Tom Brady came along.

He is a member of the Patriots All-1970s Team, All-1980s Team, 35th Anniversary Team, 50th Anniversary Team, and Patriots Hall of Fame.





1971 Patriots Media Guide, page 65:
The 27th player selected by the pros in the entire draft was the Patriots second round pick, 6'3", 258 pound Julius Adams, a defensive tackle from Texas Southern University. Adams is typical of the many high draft choices coming from small colleges in that he is a relatively unknown to the fans but highly regarded by the pro scouts. "We have him highly rated as a defensive lineman," said John Mazur, "as a very strong boy who should help us inside and gives us youth for a good future up front."

Joe Bellino​



In memory of Joe Bellino, born on this date 88 years ago
Born March 13, 1938 in Winchester
Died March 28, 2019 at the age of 81 in Bedford
Patriot HB/KR, 1965-1967; uniform #27
19th round (146th overall) selection of the 1961 AFL draft, from Navy
Pats résumé: 3 seasons, 35 games; 215 yards from scrimmage, 1 TD; 7.8 yard avg on 19 punt returns; 21.0 yard avg on 43 kick returns



Bellino was a college sensation, winner of the Heisman Trophy in 1960. The only reason he was drafted so late was because of the four-year commitment to join the Navy following graduation.


1965 Wire Photo: Joe Bellino reports to Boston Patriot's coach Mike Holovak​


Ten Questions: Joe Bellino | HistoryNet
What can you tell us about playing pro football with the Boston Patriots?​

BELLINO: That was the summer of ’65, and I accepted a contract at Patriot camp, resigned my active commission from the Navy, but stayed in the Reserves.​

I played with the Patriots for three years; but unfortunately, the first two years I had a broken ankle. My last year, I was healthy and did very well on punt returns and was also a wide receiver and running back. In my third year, I was picked up by the Cincinnati Bengals in the expansion draft, but at age 30 I was not keen on moving my young family to Cincinnati.​




Joe Bellino | Heisman
Joe Bellino, the “Winchester Rifle” is the first Naval Academy football player to win the Heisman Trophy.​

Born and raised in Winchester, Mass., Bellino was a three-sport star for Winchester High. He was good enough in baseball to be offered a contract out of high school by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he chose to play football for Navy despite offers from Notre Dame and several Big Ten schools.​

After a year in prep school, Bellino became an instant star for the Midshipmen. In his three years at Navy, he scored 31 touchdowns, rushed for 1,664 yards on 330 carries, returned 37 kicks for 833 more yards and altogether set 15 Naval Academy football records.​

In 1960, Bellino rushed for 834 yards and 15 touchdowns and scored another three TDs via pass receptions. He was a unanimous All-America selection and also the winner of the Maxwell Award. He won the Heisman handily over Richie Lucas of Penn State, totaling 1,929 points to Lucas’ 613.​

In addition to his football exploits, Bellino was an outstanding catcher and outfielder on Navy baseball teams. He hit .428 in 22 games in 1959 and led the Eastern Intercollegiate League in stolen bases. He had a .320 average in 1960 and was the baseball team captain in 1961.​

Bill Belichick can draw up a play from 1959 from memory because of course he can

Belichick sat down with Leslie Visser and Joe Bellino to talk about his father and Navy football
www.cbssports.com
In a segment for CBS Sports Network produced ahead of this weekend's Army-Navy football game, Belichick sat down with Leslie Visser and former Navy halfback (and Heisman Trophy winner) Joe Bellino, and Belichick drew up the exact diagram for Navy's 27 F Trap, from memory, complete with the route Bellino would usually take -- through the seven hole, then to the outside, then up the field -- when running the play.​



Some Bellino memories from our own PatFanKen:
God I'd love to hear the rest of clip from that show.​

I have one Joe Bellino Story though. When I signed with the Quincy Giants I had to go Joe Bellino's office to do the paperwork. In his office he introduced himself to me and shook my hand, and then pointed out his Heisman Trophy. It then took about 2 minutes to finish up and I was out the door with the next guy coming in. He seemed like a pretty nice guy, and it was many years later before I met him again. But I still remember walking out the office with a copy of my contract (which paid me $250/game) and remembering him pointing out the Heisman so proudly and thinking to myself, "what a douche" ​

I can't recall ever seeing him again that season, or for over a decade. Joe lived in Winchester and so did one of my weekly poker buddies. One night Joe showed up for poker night and he was great. Great stories, Great laughs, and he was a bad poker player. Since then I've always felt a little bad for my initial reaction that summer night in August of 1969...​







USNA Class of 1963 - memories
Half a century ago, few players caught the nation's fancy like Bellino, a modest little plugger who, at 5-feet-9, looked like anything but America's best. Yet there he was, the nation's No. 2 scorer (110 points), darting here and feinting there and scuttling for touchdowns with a spontaneity that drove opponents nuts.​

"He runs like a berserk butterfly," Sports Illustrated wrote of its cover boy on the eve of the 1960 Army-Navy game.​

Red Smith, sports columnist for the New York Herald Tribune, wrote that Bellino "wriggles like a brook trout through congested traffic."​

"All I know is that I was quick," Bellino said. "I wasn't big in the shoulders or waist, but my legs were stocky and I was built low to the ground. I could run straight, or sideways, without losing any speed, and I had lateral movement that let me bounce in and out (of jams)."​

Bellino appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Two days later, he won the Heisman Trophy in a landslide vote over college stars like Mike Ditka (Pitt), Tom Matte (Ohio State) and Billy Kilmer (UCLA).​

"I was in engineering class when I got the news," Bellino said. "Someone said the (Naval Academy) Superintendent wanted to speak to me. I thought, 'Geez, I'm in trouble academically.' "​

Afterward, a reporter asked Bellino what else he hoped to accomplish.​

"Well," the All-American said, "another guy from Massachusetts did pretty good this year and I'd like to meet him."​

Within days, Bellino found himself having lunch with that "other guy," - President elect John F Kennedy - in Georgetown. Kennedy, a former Navy Lieutenant who served in World War II, attended the Orange Bowl, where the Midshipmen fell to No. 5 Missouri, 21-14. Playing with a broken collarbone, Bellino made a diving, 28-yard TD catch that he still calls "the best play I ever made."​

He and Kennedy stayed friends.​

"In June of 1961, I was picked to deliver our class yearbook to the President," Bellino said. "He invited me into the Oval Office, where we sat for an hour, just two guys with Boston accents talking football."​

Thread 'Joe Bellino Passes Away at 81'

Belichick grew up idolizing this guy. I can see why:

-In the meantime, does anyone else think about BB drafting Edelman back in '09 and saying to him, 'We don't know where we're going to play you, but you are a football player and we'll plug you into several positions' think he was summoning visions of Bellino?

Does this from the above link sound familiar?

March 13 news from the 2000s​


March 13, 2000:
- ERFA Sean Morey is re-signed. The Marshfield native and Brown alum was a 7th round pick by the Pats in 1999, appearing in two games. Morey was a WR/ST ace who ended up spending 2000 on the Pats practice squad, then spent most of his career with Pittsburgh abd Arizona.

Sean Morey of Marshfield retires from the NFL

Former Marshfield High and Brown University football star Sean Morey has retired from the NFL after nine seasons with four different franchises, including the 2007 Super Bowl Champion Steelers.
www.patriotledger.com


- Free agent John Munch was signed. The linebacker was a two-time D3 All-American at Illinois Wesleyan. He was originally signed as an undrafted rookie by the Jets in '98, and had also previously spent time with Washington, St Louis and the NFLE's Frankfurt Galaxy. The Jete stain apparently never wore off; the Pats cut him on August 22, ending his pro football career.

March 13, 2001:
Patriots release Henry Thomas and fan favorite Larry Whigham

Thomas, Whigham terminated -- Patriots.com
Long-time special teams standout Larry Whigham and defensive tackle Henry Thomas had their contracts terminated by the Patriots late Tuesday. In addition, the team re-signed exclusive rights free agent Garrett Johnson and waived wide receiver Tony Hamler.​

Originally a fourth-round draft pick for Seattle in 1994, the Northeast Louisiana product had four interceptions and deflected 10 passes for the Patriots. Three of his picks came against future Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino.​


Whigham was also a clutch player for the Patriots. In the AFC Championship game against Jacksonville on Jan. 12, 1997 he tackled Jaguar punter Brian Barker at the 4-yard line. The play set up a New England touchdown in the 20-6 win. Whigham had two years remaining on his contract.​


Long rumored for either a contract restructure or termination, Thomas recorded 21 sacks in four seasons with the Patriots and led the team with 6.5 in 1998. He recorded a single-season high and led all defensive linemen with 87 tackles in 1999, good for fifth on the team.​


The 6-0, 185-pound Hamler had been allocated to the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe, but now the Patriots lose their training camp roster exemption for him.​

The New England Patriots on Tuesday released two former Pro Bowl selections, nose tackle Henry Thomas and special teams star Larry Whigham.​

Thomas, 36, is a 14-year NFL veteran who has registered 1,061 career tackles, including 93? sacks, with four interceptions, 20 forced fumbles and 11 fumble recoveries. The two-time Pro Bowl selection was originally drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 1987.​

Whigham, 28, played seven seasons with the Patriots and recorded 120 career tackles and four interceptions as a safety. He also had 97 tackles on a special teams career that included a trip to the Pro Bowl in 1997.​

Also yesterday, former Boston College lineman Pete Kendall chose not to sign with the Pats, agreeing to a five-year, $18 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals.​

Kendall, one of the top free agents offensive linemen available, has played all five of his NFL seasons with Seattle, and has started for the Seahawks in their last 73 games. He visited the Patriots last week, and was also considering Cleveland and Cincinnati.​

It wasn't all bad news for Patriots fans, however -- the team did re-sign free agent nose tackle Garrett Johnson, who played well in reserve duty last year.​

As their spring harvest of unrestricted free agents continues, the Patriots are bringing in the Hayes.​

The more important bundle would seem to be 6-foot-4, 208-pound former Panthers wide receiver Donald Hayes, who started 30 games and caught 118 passes for 1,523 yards and five touchdowns over the last two seasons. He is expected to be the fast and rugged deep threat the Patriots have been looking for to replace the disgruntled Terry Glenn, whom they traded to the Packers on Friday.​

The smaller bundle is former Jets reserve safety and superb special teams performer Chris Hayes (6-0, 206), who would replace Matt Stevens, lost to the Texans in the expansion draft, as Tebucky Jones’ backup.​

The Patriots released linebacker Chad Brown today. Brown, who was signed to a two-year contract prior to the 2005 season, was due a $200,000 roster bonus on March 22. His release saves the Patriots about $1 million on the salary cap.​

The Patriots also released offensive lineman Ryan Krug.​




March 13, 2007:
Patriots sign former Bengals WR Washington -- Patriots.com
The New England Patriots signed free agent Kelley Washington, another deal in an offseason overhaul of their receiving corps.​

"I am happy to be part of such a great franchise and to have the opportunity to help them get back and win another Super Bowl," Washington said in a statement released by his agent.​

Washington has 72 catches for 893 yards and nine touchdowns in four seasons with Cincinnati.​


The Patriots have also signed free agent receiver Donte' Stallworth, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, and acquired Wes Welker from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a draft choice.​

Washington and Stallworth were teammates at Tennessee.​

 
I really liked Aqib Talib, but him leaving two consecutive AFCCG's was the nail in the coffin for me. Even though Revis only played one season, it was the right move.

Loved Larry Whigham and was sad to see him go in 2001.

Henry Thomas was a great pickup in 1997.

Though the Patriots have yet to make a splashy move in free agency (free agency opened about four hours ago, so not to worry just yet), they did apparently re-sign one of their own free agents: linebacker/special teamer Niko Koutouvides.​

According to NFLPA records, Koutouvides is on the books for $825,000 in base salary for 2012. Since the NFLPA website is not updated instantly, it’s likely Koutouvides’ deal was done within the last day or two.​

The 28-year old Purdue product had 8 tackles on defense and 9 special-teams tackles in eight regular-season games, plus one tackle, one quarterback hit and one special-teams tackle in the postseason.​





March 13, 2013:
A few hours after slot receiver Wes Welker departed for Denver in free agency, the Patriots replaced him by signing Rams receiver Danny Amendola to a five-year, $28.5 million contract that included a $6 million signing bonus, and $10 million guaranteed.

Patriots Sign Unrestricted Free Agent WR Danny Amendola -- Patriots.com

Danny Amendola agrees with Patriots

The New England Patriots moved quickly to replace Wes Welker, agreeing to terms with wide receiver Danny Amendola on a five-year contract, league sources tell ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
www.espn.com
Amendola's agreement comes hours after Welker left the Patriots for a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos. That deal is worth $12 million, sources told Schefter.​

The 27-year-old Amendola finished last season with 63 receptions for 666 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games for the St. Louis Rams.​

He missed virtually all of the 2011 season after dislocating his left elbow in the opener, and then injuring a triceps muscle after returning to practice. In 2011, Amendola played under then-offensive assistant coach Josh McDaniels, who is now the Patriots' offensive coordinator.​

Amendola has 196 receptions for 1,726 yards and seven touchdowns in 42 career games. He previously has been compared to Welker because of their elusiveness and ability to play in the slot.​

In New England, Amendola has big shoes to fill in Welker, who had 672 receptions over six seasons (an average of 112 per season) with the Patriots. Welker had a team-high 118 catches for 1,354 yards and six touchdowns last season.​

Patriots announce re-signing of Chris White

The linebacker, whose main duties with the Pats have been on special teams, re-signs with a team in a development that was reported earlier this week.
www.patriotledger.com
The New England Patriots announced today that they have re-signed backup LB and special teamer Chris White.​

White, 26, has spent the last two seasons with New England after originally joining the team in 2013 when he was claimed off waivers and awarded to the Patriots from Detroit on Sept. 1, 2013. The 6-foot-3, 238-pounder, entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick (169th overall) by Buffalo out of Mississippi State in 2011. He was traded by Buffalo to Detroit in a trade for QB Thad Lewis on Aug. 25, 2013. White was released by Detroit on Aug. 31, 2013. Last season, White played in 13 games and finished with nine special teams tackles. He played in all three postseason games and tallied four special teams tackles.​




March 13, 2017:
Patriots sign free agent DL Lawrence Guy -- Patriots.com
The New England Patriots announced that they have signed DL Lawrence Guy as an unrestricted free agent from the Baltimore Ravens.​

Guy, 27, is a veteran of six NFL seasons with Green Bay (2011), Indianapolis (2012-13), San Diego (2013-14) and Baltimore (2014-16). The 6-foot-4, 305-pounder, has played in 67 regular-season games with 19 starts and has 128 total tackles, 6½ sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. In addition, he has played in five postseason games with one start and has seven total tackles and one fumble recovery.​

Guy originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick (233rd overall) by Green Bay out of Arizona State in the 2011 NFL Draft. After spending his rookie season on Injured Reserve, he began his second season on the Green Bay practice squad before being signed to the Indianapolis 53-man roster. Guy was released by Indianapolis in October of 2013 and claimed off waivers by San Diego. After playing in three games with San Diego in 2014, Guy was released and claimed off waivers by Baltimore. Last season, Guy played in 16 games with 10 starts and accumulated 28 total tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.​

Slater, who turns 35 in September, has been the Patriots' special-teams captain every year since 2011. The eight-time Pro Bowl selection is an inspirational and spiritual leader. Coach Bill Belichick has him address players and coaches after every victory.​

Patriots use second-round tender on Jakobi Meyers ahead of 2022 NFL free agency, per report

The wideout will likely be staying put in 2022
www.cbssports.com
Fresh off a career season as the Patriots' top wide receiver, Jakobi Meyers will likely be staying in New England in 2022. A day before the start of the NFL's legal tampering period, New England has used a second-round tender on the pending restricted free agent.​

Undrafted out of NC State in 2019, the 25-year-old Meyers emerged as the Patriots' steadiest player at his position over the last two seasons. A second-round tender would pay the receiver a projected $3.98 million in 2022, a notable raise from his $850,000 payout last season. Meyers will still be free to negotiate with other teams, if he chooses, but the Patriots will have the opportunity to match any offer he gets, as well as receive a second-round draft pick as compensation in the event he signs elsewhere.​

Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images As first reported by his children, Devin McCourty is returning to New England for a thirteenth season with the franchise on a reported one-year deal…
www.patspropaganda.com
Positivley speaking, Devin McCourty is one of, if not the top leaders of this team, he’s one of the most tenured players on the roster and certainly checks off that worry I had about if there would be enough locker room leaders to help the team forward. Alongside his duties as a captain, DMac still can still play a role on defense, in a unit which is slated to include him, Kyle Dugger, and Adrian Phillips.​

The downside to this is that $9M is a fair bit for a declining veteran who we all saw slow down last season, I think this could be his final season as a pro, let’s hope it’s a good one!​



Also reported this afternoon was the decision that the team have decided to let Fullback Jakob Johnson test out the open market, not a surprise given how much of a salary increase the lowest tender would have cost. Don’t be surprised to see Johnson back with the team next season though, especially given that the Patriots now have an international market in Germany.​

The Patriots have reportedly agreed to re-sign outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings on three-year deal worth up to $24 million.
www.boston.com
The Patriots have so far managed to retain a number of familiar faces in the early stages of the NFL offseason. Anfernee Jennings’s name is set to be added to the list. Jennings, a 26-year-old outside linebacker, is re-signing with the Patriots on a three-year deal worth $12 million (with a maximum value of $24 million). Originally a third-round pick by New England in 2020, Jennings has appeared in 45 games over three seasons, totaling 113 tackles with three sacks. He missed all of 2021 due to injury, but began to emerge in 2023 following the season-ending injury of Matthew Judon.​


Patriots add to defensive front with former Steelers lineman

The New England Patriots are adding to their defensive front, signing former Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Armon Watts.

On Wednesday afternoon, the New England Patriots made a move in free agency to bolster their defensive line. They are signing defensive lineman Armon Watts, according to multiple reports. Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald later reported it's a one-year contract for Watts. The deal is worth up to $3 million. In New England, Watts will add defensive line versatility depth behind players like Daniel Ekuale, Keion White, Jeremiah Pharms, and Sam Roberts. That group should help make up for the loss of Lawrence Guy, who was released prior to the start of free agency.​

patriotswire.usatoday.com
The New England Patriots are reportedly signing former Tampa Buccaneers offensive lineman Nick Leverett, per the Boston Herald's Doug Kyed. Leverett didn't see much action at all during the 2022 season in Tampa Bay, but the former undrafted rookie out of Rice University started in 10 games and played in on 94 percent of the snaps in 2022. That number dipped to no snaps on offense and only four special teams snaps last season.​

The Patriots clearly need help at offensive tackle, but it's also important for them to fill out their guard positions. Mike Onwenu is listed as a guard, but he might have to continue playing tackle. There's also the fact that Cole Strange missed a significant chunk of last season due to injuries. Sidy Sow should factor into the mix, but the team clearly needs depth to ensure they have the right reinforcements if the injury bug decides to bite for a second straight season.​



March 13, 2025:

Patriots Parting Ways With Long Time Captain | PatsFans.com

There will definitely be some changes when the Patriots take the field in 2025, and it appears one of the staples on their offensive line won't be a part of it.
www.patsfans.com
There will definitely be some changes when the Patriots take the field in 2025, and it appears one of the staples on their offensive line won’t be a part of it.​

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the team is reportedly parting ways with veteran David Andrews, with the club set to now make a change at center heading into next season.​

Andrews appeared in just four games last season, with the veteran suffering a shoulder injury in San Francisco during the team’s 30-13 Week 4 loss to the 49ers.​


With Andrews out of the line-up, it only added to what was a tumultuous year for an offensive line that was arguably the worst in the NFL in 2024. They struggled at both tackle positions all season, and up until his injury, the long-time veteran was one of the few bright spots in a group that had a difficult time finding any continuity.​

While he was sidelined, the club ended up turning to Ben Brown, who New England snagged off Las Vegas’ practice squad. He went on to start every game and play every snap for 10 straight weeks, filling in admirably and being one of the few consistent players on a Patriots offensive line that was ultimately never able to fully get it together.​

When Cole Strange finally was healthy enough to play, he saw time at center over the final two weeks, and the belief is that he’ll potentially be a candidate to take over, with Jake Andrews being another player who is thought to be in the mix. He’s another player coming off a torn meniscus, with the former Troy standout suffering the injury last summer during training camp.​

Needless to say, things will certainly look a little different next season.​


Patriots sign K'Lavon Chaisson

Patriots reportedly sign pass rusher K’Lavon Chaisson to 1-year deal

The Patriots are reportedly signing edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson to a one-year contract — further beefing up New England's defense.
www.boston.com
The Patriots are reportedly continuing to beef up their defense this offseason.​

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots are signing edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson to a 1-year, $5M deal, giving New England another player capable of putting opposing quarterbacks under duress. Chaisson, 25, is coming off a solid 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders where he recorded 32 tackles, five sacks, eight quarterback hits, and forced two fumbles over 15 games (four starts).​

It was Chaisson’s most productive season to date in the NFL, with the former LSU Tiger struggling to generate much traction after being taken 20th overall by Jacksonville in the 2020 NFL Draft. Chaisson recorded just five sacks over his four seasons with the Jags before carving out a new role with the Raiders.​

Chaisson stands as the latest in a long line of free-agent signings in New England centered on defense, joining a group of new additions that includes defensive tackle Milton Williams, outside linebacker Harold Landry, linebacker Robert Spillane, cornerback Carlton Davis, and defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga.​

Loading up on players who can get after the quarterback like Landry and Chaisson stands as a clear offseason objective for the Patriots — with New England ranking last in the NFL in 2024 with just 28 sacks on the year. Chaisson stands as a potential replacement for veteran defensive end Deatrich Wise, who signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday. Wise, much like Chiasson, recorded five sacks during the 2024 season.​





March 13, 2026:
After losing an assistant coach to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Patriots have found a replacement.​

According to a source, the team is working to hire experienced offensive line coach Jonathan Decoster. He comes from the University of Florida, where he spent the last two seasons as the Gators’ assistant offensive line coach. This move comes after the Patriots lost assistant line coach Robert Kugler, who was named the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight ends coach.​

The Patriots had three offensive line coaches last season, and it now appears they will have the same again. The team returns offensive line coach Doug Marrone and assistant offensive line coach Jason Houghtaling. Last season, Mike Vrabel said he thought the three offensive line coaches worked well together.​

Happy 47th birthday to David Terrell
Born March 13, 1979 in Richmond, Virginia
Patriot wide receiver, 2005 offseason; uniform #10
Signed as a veteran free agent on April 5, 2005
Pats résumé: one offseason, training camp and preseason

Terrell is the player that Ron Borges infamously whined that Bill Belichick should have drafted rather than Richard Seymour in 2001. He was se;ected eighth overall by Chicago and was a bust with the Bears, averaging 32 receptions for 400 yards and 2 TD in his four seasons with the Bears. After Chicago released him, he remained a free agent for five weeks until the Patriots signed him on April 5, 2005. Tom Brady, who played with Terrell at Michigan, allegedly lobbied for Belichick to sign him.

The wide receiver dealt with a broken foot and a carousel of quarterbacks in Chicago, then suffered a staph infection in Foxborough; as a result he did not play in either of the Pats first two '05 preseason games. He entered in the second half of week three, with one incomplete pass thrown his way by Doug Flutie his only notation in that game. Terrell then started in preseason week four - which is often not a good sign - and had three receptions for 21 yards. After being released by the Pats he then signed with Denver, but played in only one game for the Broncos, finishing his NFL career in Denver for their 2007 training camp.


Terrell reunited with Michigan teammate Brady

Talented but underachieving WR David Terrell, released by the Bears on Feb. 28, has reached agreement in principle on a one-year contract with the Patriots.
www.espn.com
Talented but underachieving wide receiver David Terrell, released by the Chicago Bears on Feb. 28, has reached agreement in principle on a one-year contract with the New England Patriots, a deal that provides the Super Bowl champions with an intriguing deep threat. Terrell was entering the final year of his original contract in Chicago when he was released.​

Terrell, 26, was courted in free agency by several other teams, among them the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Bucs. Key to his signing with the Patriots, beyond the chance to resuscitate his career with a winning organization, was the opportunity to reunite with quarterback Tom Brady, a former University of Michigan teammate. Over the past few weeks, Brady has urged New England officials to sign Terrell.​

It is not known if the acquisition of Terrell will preclude New England from re-signing wide receiver Troy Brown, released last month by the Patriots for salary cap reasons. A longtime fan favorite in New England, and a player who subjugated his own individual numbers by playing cornerback in 2004 to help the team cope with injuries in the secondary, Brown remains in the free agent market. There has been considerable speculation that Brown might re-join the Patriots at some point. The Patriots lost No. 3 wideout David Patten, who defected to Washington as an unrestricted free agent, and Terrell may be able to replace him as a deep threat.​


David Terrell: 'I would have cut off both my balls' to play with Cutler

After he was named the biggest draft bust for the Bears, former receiver David Terrell made his protests about the ranking.
www.cbssports.com
During his tenure in Chicago the quarterbacks the Bears employed included Jim Miller, Shane Matthews, a 38-year-old Chris Chandler, Henry Burris, Kordell Stewart, Chad Hutchinson, Craig Krenzel, Jonathan Quinn and Rex Grossman. So, not the most Hall of Fame-worthy bunch.​

“Then my third year I couldn’t play because my foot was just broke and they had my time limited. ****, then the last year, I led the league for like the first four games with Rex Grossman at quarterback. Until Rex Grossman breaks his foot against Minnesota. Did you forget that? I think you must have forgot about that. Man, I led the league in like every category basically until Rex broke his foot. When Rex broke his foot, after that, the season was over. I had nine different quarterbacks after Rex Grossman. I caught a ball from nine different quarterbacks in one year. Did you forget that?”​


Situation pans out for Terrell

David Terrell isn’t bitter that the New England Patriots cut him before the start of this season. Terrell, a receiver for the Denver Broncos, was just happy to get out of New England with his health and his career intact. Terrell, the eighth overall pick of the 2001 draft by the Chicago Bears, said he spent 10 days in a hospital during training camp after a staph infection in his left leg. He has a scar on his shin, which is how his problems started.​

Terrell said this summer he was running stadium stairs at his University of Michigan alma mater and missed a step. He cut his leg when he tripped. About a week-and-a-half into Patriots training camp, the wound hadn’t healed properly. A team doctor made an incision to help drain the wound and Terrell got in a hot tub not long after that. “That’s when I got the staph infection,” Terrell said.​

He made a trip to the hospital and a hole was cut in his leg to drain the staph infection, which is caused by bacteria entering the body. He spent plenty of his 10 days in the hospital wondering what the long-term damage would be. “I didn’t know,” Terrell said. “It was scary for me.”​

Football wasn’t Terrell’s biggest concern, but the tough reality was New England’s other receivers were in camp and passing him on the depth chart. New England had taken a chance on Terrell after four disappointing seasons with the Bears, and didn’t have any strong ties to him. Terrell missed New England’s first two preseason games and didn’t do enough in the final two preseason games to win a job.​

“I was missing games and they were going to go on without me,” Terrell said. “There wasn’t anything I could do. It wasn’t like I had a thigh bruise. I had like a 4- or 5-inch hole in my leg. “I couldn’t leave until the infection was totally out of my body. It was pretty bad.”​

Terrell landed with the Broncos after New England cut him. Terrell hasn’t played in a game for Denver because he was behind other receivers and had to learn the playbook. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said he wasn’t sure if Terrell would be able to play against New England today or when he would be active on game day. But he is making progress. “He’s learning the system,” Shanahan said. “He’s getting better. He’s proving to us that he’s a football player.”​

Terrell said he’s feeling good, he’s happy to be in Denver and he isn’t upset with the Patriots or coach Bill Belichick for cutting him.​

“Not at all,” Terrell said. “I don’t hold anything against them. They did what they felt they needed to do.”​

Byron Young, 28 (March 13, 1998)
Draft Pick Trade

This is an under-the-radar contender for worst trade or worst use of a draft pick during the Bellichick era. On April 2, 2022, the Patriots sent their 2023 third round draft pick, #77 overall, to Miami for DeVante Parker and the Dolphins 2022 fifth. Miami traded that pick to the Rams - who used it on Young, who was a Pro Bowl OLB for LA last year with 82 tackles and 12 sacks. Parker was a bust, while that fifth round pick was used to trade up four spots with Kansas City to draft . . . Tyquan Thornton. Ouch.




Jo-Lonn Dunbar, 41 (March 13, 1985)
Boston College
Linebacker played in 103 games from 2008 to 2015, mostly with New Orleans. He won a super bowl in his second season with the Saints, but his best year was 2012 with the Rams, when he had 115 tackles, 16 TFL, 4½ sacks, two picks, five pass deflections and two forced fumbles.




Bill Kennedy (March 13, 1919 - Dec 29, 1998)
Born in Lee Massachusetts; Boston Yanks
Kennedy's 23-game NFL career was brief, with three years of military service in the marines during WWII sandwiched between one season for the Lions and one for the Yanks. Following his pro football career Kennedy returned to Michigan and took on a part-time role as head football coach at St. Francis de Sales High School in Detroit, serving from 1949 to 1966 while maintaining a full-time career as a sales representative for Cyril J. Burke, Inc. During this time he built a successful program at the Catholic high school, guiding his teams to Detroit city championships in 1953 and 1959, and winning Coach of the Year honors in 1959 and 1961.




Brian Saxton, 54 (March 13, 1972)

Julius 'Julie' Archoska was an end for the 1930 Staten Island Stapletons





Spike Staff (March 13, 1892 - Feb 14, 1970)
Born and raised in Brockton; Brockton High School; Brown University
Edgar Jonathan 'Spike' Staff played briefly at guard for the Providence Steam Roller in 1925.




The Providence Steam Roller team, taken on occasion of the Steam Roller game with the Chicago Bears, December 9, 1925. Four men, Jack Spellman, Spike Staff, Bert Shurtleff, and Fritz Pollard were Brown Alumni. Pollard, at that time player/co-coach for the Akron pros, playing in this game with special permission.

George McAfee (March 13, 1918 - March 4, 2009)
College Football Hall of Fame, 1961
Pro Football Hall of Fame, 1966
NFL 1940s All-Decade Team
NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team

National Football Foundation - George McAfee
He could stun an opponent with a single play, often striking panic into unsuspecting enemy teams. George McAfee was a quick-hitting speed merchant with a definite talent for deception. Sleek and slender at 6-0, 175-pounds, McAfee and fellow Hall of Famer Eric Tipton formed the one-two punch of the great Duke teams of the late 1930s. There was no more "perfect" regular season than logged by the Blue Devils in 1938 when they rolled through nine games unbeaten, untied and unscored-upon, winning the Southern Conference title before suffering a heartbreaking loss to Southern California, 7-3, in the Rose Bowl. McAfee was a game- breaker that year, prompting sports writers to nickname him "One play McAfee."

The experts were particularly impressed with the lefthander's ability to employ the halfback pass with outstanding accuracy. During McAfee's three varsity seasons, the Blue Devils won 24 of 29 games, with 17 of those decisions coming by shutout. However, McAfees' star was only beginning to rise. In 1940, he joined the Chicago Bears and made All-Pro honors in 1941. His career was interrupted by active duty in the U.S. Navy during World War II, but McAfee returned to play for Chicago for five more seasons, switching to defense as an outstanding safety.

From the start McAfee established himself as an explosive game breaker, the kind of back that was a threat to go all the way every time he had the ball. In his first exhibition game, George returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown with just seconds remaining to defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers. In the 1940 regular-season opener, he ran back a kickoff 93 yards and threw a touchdown pass in a 41-10 Bears victory over arch-rival Green Bay.

In the historic 73-0 rout of the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL Championship Game, McAfee contributed a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown. Eventually, to be compared to McAfee by Halas was considered the highest compliment.

McAfee's pro career was not particularly long – limited to just eight years before and after World War II service. While his career statistics are not overwhelming, they do show that he did just about everything a player could do with a football. He was a breakaway runner, a dangerous pass receiver, and one of history’s best kick-return specialists as evidenced by his record-breaking 12.78-yard average on 112 punt returns.

George also played defense and recorded 25 interceptions during his career. George, whether running wide or up the middle, either as a pass receiver or a decoy, was known as "One-Play McAfee," and a constant headache to the opposition. McAfee also pioneered the use of low-cut shoes, which he believed improved his speed and elusiveness.
