I really wanted Keenan Allen. And he only went for a 4th!

We need to at least get more help on OL.

I can't believe I'm saying this... I kind of hope we at least re-sign Trent Brown.

It's more important to clean out the negative vibes, even though the thought is tempting.

 

[RxJock1120]

Let's post about all the players we won't be signing...

 

[RxJock1120]

I can't believe I'm saying this... I kind of hope we at least re-sign Trent Brown.

At this point we might be better off starting a rookie or give Strange snaps at LT.

What's the point of a stop gap for a team that won't be competitive in the new league year.

And yes I fully understand that this will be taken as a negative post, but it is simply the reality.

We are coming off an abysmal 4-13 year and we haven't signed a single difference maker, not even close to it.

Maybe the draft will change that, but until then...

Top 101 NFL free agents of 2024: Micah Hyde, Ryan Tannehill among best available

Gregg Rosenthal's ranking of the Top 101 free agents of 2024 has arrived! Who are the best players available in this year's class?

www.nfl.com

Outside of Tyron Smith there is barely anyone left. Williams is debateable but with his injury history not sure he’s worth it obviously.

Barring a trade I would expect:

• The pats carry over ~35 million in cap space next year
• The rookie QB doesn’t play

Buckle up

Yeah, I want Smith but will take Trent Brown at this point.

I want Williams, even knowing he's probably the second coming of Juju's knee. We can line him up with Bourne and Juju and have the gimpiest wide receivers in the game.

if, as expected, we draft a QB at #3, there better be a decent OL to protect him and at least one difference maker WR1 for him to throw to. Other than that, he may be running for his life.

We're not starting the rookie. Not with this supporting cast.

 

[Big Bucks]

The race for #1 is on... Let's Go!






That's 2025 #1 incase you didn't notice the elephant over there.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

any stud WR or LT in the 2025 draft? just carry over the cap to next year, draft the QB they like at #3, let him sit and learn all year while Jacoby starts, pick top 5 in 2025, draft said stud WR or LT, and spend the cap in next years FA class

at this point there is no reason to start the QB this year unless they want to kill his confidence

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

That one will be frustrating until we do land a wr1. To me it was the ideal bridge situation while we also draft a wr for the long term. only 1 year at 18 m so it keeps your 2025 and beyond cap space high (unless we decide to re up) and if our rookie qb does end up on the field this year he would help immensely.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Wake up and Keenan Allen went for a 4th? 6 out of 8 seasons of 97 or more receptions. Would of been nice.

[mike_usagisan]

I liked Lazar's recent mailbag where he compared building a football team to building a house. The WR is your granite countertop. They're the last thing you add after getting the foundation and framing and everything else done. Build the Oline and QB first. WR can be found later when you're making a run.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

We're not starting the rookie. Not with this supporting cast.

Then you drafted the wrong QB.

You don’t play the rookie if you think he is not ready not because of the supporting cast.
