NE trades for WR/KR Patterson !

[captain stone]

Those four plus Gronk, "All Go!"

Watch the DC's head explode.

Explode with excitement, when Brady's on his ass again unless Bill drafts a top LT.

Cooks, Dorsett, & Patterson..... I think Bill is smoking some Al Davis weed.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

He's a good gunner and returner. With touchbacks so common now, he's not worth the 3 million cap hit. BB will find a role for him or he will get cut before the season starts.

Gotta believe Bill has more in mind for him then just ST, even if it's just a handful of offensive snaps a game, and in game injury insurance.

Can't wait to see his plan to address this. It surely isn't Fleming, or Waddle as a day 1 starter.

Patterson will be
1) our KR replacing Lewis (his stats are similar to those of Lewis)
2) an available receiver replacing Amendola in that role (his stats are similar to Hogan)
3) a gunner, replacing Slater in that role (or a backup if Slater is back)

 

[bormio]

He might fill the same spot on the depth chart as Amendola, but they are night and day in terms of types of WRs.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I give you....... Ben Volin!

Ben Volin added,

No but I do wonder if it affects Cooks...

Does this impact Slater returning any?

Patterson is a kickoff returner, gunner on the punt team and occasional deep threat. So he could affect Matthew Slater’s return. Could affect Phillip Dorsett, as well

Patterson will be our #5 WR (with one of the others being inactive each week), His receiving stats are similar to those of Hogan.

Considering last year's active roster, Patterson replaces both Amendola and a ST gunner, saving an active roster spot (and also a spot on the 53).

Vikings to Raiders to Patriots = Randy Moss 2.0

He can' get open like Hogan or run routes like amendola.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I wonder if he thinks the Asante Cleveland visit affects Rob Gronkowski.....

 

[The_Riddler]

A WR stud in college at Tennessee. Just couldn’t replicate that in NFL. Glad to have him at KR though.

He had no QB in Minny, now he does...Watch out..this kid can run like cheetah, what a steal this was...

Al Davis pushing up Daisies, not Weed.

I'm going to wait to see who we get for LT, but if we go into the season with Waddle there? I'm going to say, I'd trade Patterson and his $3.25m hit to the cap, plus the flip of picks with the Raiders, for the opportunity to pay Solder $3m more this year than we offered.

 

[mgteich]

Agreed, but irrelevant. Edelman will take Amendola's slot role.

 

[Vatahala]

After a extended misspelled journey thru wikipedia and pro football reference my first thought is the new guy needs a nickname.

If CP has a good year and leaves as a free agent, how high a possible draft pick could the Pats recoup?

His track background was pretty impressive its like BB bought Josh a fast car to tool around in 2018 as a way to say thanks for staying.

Calling him similar to Hogan is just wrong. Hogan is a real NFL receiver. Patterson is a gadget guy who is fast.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Good to have a solid plan at kick return “just in case” Cyrus Jones gets cut.

There's gotta be a better solution than that...we just haven't seen it yet. No way Bill under values addressing LT properly. If he does then maybe there is some creedence to him not wanting Brady.

Patterson has 52 and 31 catches, respectively, in his last 2 seasons. That's a lot of gadgets.
