I like Gesicki, but he can't block a lick and neither can Hunter Henry, so it'd probably be a bad allocation of resources, those two guys are redundant players (even though I think Gesicki is better as a receiver).
They did. They signed one of the best corners in FA to a really good deal for them.
God I hope he retires. The meltdown from Jest fans would be too delicious
They should show no urgency to sign bad deals. I know everyone like flashy names but every dollar you overspend is a dollar you are short follongbother needs. The key is balancing patience with what’s available, not urgency to just do something even if it’s wrong.
This FA class is kind of crappy, which it seems made the two you mentioned skyrocket in value. That's a big risk on Edmunds, particularly since Buffalo's D around him was so good - makes his job easier.

He wants to get paid, something that's not going to happen here... Pierre strong Jr. Is my choice...
Roquan is the trade/extension I WISH the Pats had been able to pull off. He's worth every penny in the right D. This might sound counterintuitive, but when a guy performs on an otherwise mediocre defense, I see that as special (Smith in Chicago). When a guy performs well on a well-oiled defense (Edmunds in Buffalo), I discount it just a bit.
The organization needs to do something to get us relevant and back in contention again. Something is brewing... I feel like some sort of trade is going to happen.. BB is making these moves for a reason.. as you said patience is the virtue..

It's incredible how every big money deal is somehow bad. Was Gilmore a bad deal? A lot of people at the time thought it was too much money. Was Judon a bad deal?
That seems relevant.Report: Jets working to sign Allen Lazard
Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner suggested there might be some package deals in place if his team lands quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team is reportedly working on making one happen despite the fact that Rodgers has yet to reveal his intentions for 2023.
Judon's deal wasn't bad at all. 4/54? (EDIT: When the Pats signed him, I was ecstatic and said I thought he was the best defender in the FA class, and I stand by that.) The guy was great in Baltimore. Every game I watched, he was in the backfield making havoc.
Who said every big money deal is bad?
Judon was a two time Pro Bowler in Baltimore who had never reached 10 sacks in a season. He was a good player, but he became a better player with the Patriots and now his contract seems like a bargain, even if it wasn't one at the time (mostly fair value). It's fine to spend, it won't kill you. Maybe they didn't have a glaring need for Edmunds, but what about Bates? They have no free safety on the roster. Again, it's fine if you don't value Bates at that money, I just really dislike this mindset that every time a team gives big money to a free agent they're being dumb and overpaying or compromising their roster building. A lot of times it works out. Are people making fun of Christian Kirk and Zay Jones' contracts right now?
You said they shouldn't show urgency to sign bad deal. Why are those deals bad? Those are just big money deals. What makes them bad?
