Strong deal for Connor Barwin in Philly - 6 years, $36M, with the chance to earn a max of $40M including guarantees.

What about the Seabirds, seems like resistance to them is futile too.

U Mad Bro????

That's a lot of money to be paying a back-up. If he can regain his rookie form gives philly another good rusher, will see.

Very disappointed the Pats didn't try and get Barwin.. Would have been an excellent bookend to Jones.

Leon Washington and Patriots reached agreement on a one-year deal.

There is our return man. However i cannot think of a more meh signing.

Would've really loved this a few years back after he broke his leg.

Hopefully still does well returning, and brings a good vet. presence to the locker room.

He was 2nd in the NFL on kickoff return averages.

He's pretty good as a kick return man, and certainly an upgrade over McCourty.

I'm more happy that our starting safety will hopefully no longer be returning kicks

Vikings beat writer Tom Pelissero notes, the receiver market "appears to have cooled." Wes Welker and Danny Amendola both took roughly $6 million per year, and Jennings isn't drawing strong interest since Mike Wallace signed. One NFL personnel man believes $8 million annually might be "stretching it" for Jennings, at this point. Another personnel director guessed that Jennings will end up signing for between $7 million and $8 million per, perhaps on a two- to three-year deal.

Come on Bill, make an offer 2 years/15 million

If thats true, the Pats HAVE to let Lloyd go and sign Greg for 7.5 mil a year.....

Why let Lloyd go?

Gronk
Hernandez
Lloyd
Jennings
Edelman 2.0 a/k/a Amendola



There's your starting 5 across, you draft a tall burner, and that's a good start to rebuilding the receiving corps.....

Why in the world would you have to cut Lloyd in order to sign Jennings?? I see those two issues as independent from each other.

That'd be great, idk if we can afford paying 3 WRs 18 million with the TEs though. A Lloyd cut saves us 3 million doesn't it?

Not bringing back Lloyd would save money against the cap, but would require a replacement, and the trio shouldn't cost anywhere near $18m against the cap.

I could see them dropping Lloyd, but I don't see the logic unless the replacement is going to be an upgrade.

Works for me.

Realistically/Hypothetically, what would that leave us $$ wise for the D?

Hopefully still does well returning

He's the guy that got Seattle in good field position to setup the winning drive Seattle had against the Pats.

Free agent Greg Jennings was reportedly asking for $11 million per year when the signing period opened on Tuesday.
As Vikings beat writer Tom Pelissero notes, the receiver market "appears to have cooled." Wes Welker and Danny Amendola both took roughly $6 million per year, and Jennings isn't drawing strong interest since Mike Wallace signed. One NFL personnel man believes $8 million annually might be "stretching it" for Jennings, at this point. Another personnel director guessed that Jennings will end up signing for between $7 million and $8 million per, perhaps on a two- to three-year deal. Jennings is entering his age-30 season.

2-3 years at 7 mill? I would do that..but nothing more


Oops..already posted. But it seems like every move we want the pats to make..they make the complete opposite..so i still don't see jennings here. We all want him..same with reed..aka probably not going to be here
