Way too early look at where things stand with the Patriots’ impending 2023 free agents

 

[Mike the Brit]

The only ones I really want are Meyers, Cardona and, if healthy, Cajuste (a not-too-expensive backup tackle would be great). It's time to say goodbye and thank you to McCourty and Slater and I fear that Damien Harris and Jonathan Jones, much though I love them, will be too expensive.

Jon Jones needs to be paid. He will not be that expensive after the JC Jackson disaster signing.

I think Jonathan Jones has been a perfect team guy and he has Belichicks full support.
I think he stays.

 

[Toofy]

I am thinking

Jonathan Jones 3 years 25 with 15 guaranteed ?

Meyers 4 years 50 with heavy incentives more like 10 million a year and 25 million guaranteed ?

 

[resdubwhite]

I think Harris and Jones have a great shot at staying. theres plenty of money available.

 

[Mike the Brit]

I love JJ but I wonder about how much football he has left at the very highest level. When he came out of college he had 4.33 speed, but I think his injuries over the years have affected that.

 

[resdubwhite]

Meyers 4 years 50 with heavy incentives more like 10 million a year and 25 million guaranteed ?

That a bit high by a factor of 20 to 30 percent. I know the receiver market is a bit crazy but he's not a prolific TD scorer?

Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith contracts should give you an idea.

Agholor had just 1 phenom season to get 2 year 22.

Meyers can block , has super safe hands and is super consistent, those players don't come cheap . Do you trust our draft to find another wr. We can't live with just a wr 1. We don't have a davante nor do we have Brady/Rodgers. So middle of pack guys are what Mac needs .

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Jon jones will be 30 next year so probably wont demand a ton.Id do 2 years 16m

Meyers we’ll have to pay out for but think he’s worth it. Hopefully a team friendly deal.

Mccourty and slater, not sure but thinking they retire.

Cardona and cadjuste should be easy keeps hopefully.

I think were in good shape overall and will have plenty to spend after taking care of meyers/jones.

Agholor 50% resign lost me right there he stole enough $$$$ already.

My god you want to give that much money to a WR who is slow and allergic to the endzone?

You call him “middle of the pack” but you want to pay him like an all pro?

I thought all pro receivers were 20 million now. Very good ones are at 15 and upper middle class is around 10-13. .

There is no way Meyers is getting anything less than 12 million AV . He will hit around 1000 yards /5 TD and his price will skyrocket.

If tyquan develops into a true wr 1 , you will start to see the value of Meyers . He will start breaking out like Edelman.

 

[upstater1]

Lost in the whole JC Jackson stuff is the fact that Belichick offered him $14m to stay. Belichick is not adverse to paying CBs a reasonable amount.

 

[JerseyShore99]

Meyers easily the top internal priority, I don't see Harris coming back unless on a 1 year prove it deal

Wynn should be a goner unless he too takes a prove it deal, Cajuste offers cheap depth, and Cardona is fine

D-Mac I'd like back to hopefully help groom his successor and transition the D

Shedding Agholor will be big, maybe they can shed Smith somehow if they can't figure out how to use him

I would be stunned if Wynn is here in 23. I look for an overhaul of the OL next offseason.

Brown, Andrews, and Onwenu are all playing well and Strange is developing...Overhaul may be too much

Let me rephrase. An overhaul of our offensive tackles.

Look at what hill or Diggs or even what's his name the Jags WAY overpaid last year get. 12 million per Is NOT all pro money. Its above average starter money which jakobi 100% is. It's not his job to score TDs his job is to get 6-20 yards down field and get a first down. Which he does very well. 70-80 catches for 1000-1200 yards is pretty damn valuable. I would happily sign that deal suggested and consider it a huge win. I think 14-16 million per is more realistic for what he eventually signs for somewhere else. All it takes is one idiot to drive up the price.
