Defensive guys from the Ravens make me nervous but if we sign him I will be all for it lol.

Interesting. Seems this guy will be a big ticket signing. Would probably compare to Trey Flowers contract. Similar production.

What Patriots Are Getting In Free-Agent Tight End Signing Jonnu Smith

The Patriots spent big at one of their positions of need when they agreed to sign tight end Jonnu Smith to a four-year, $50 million contract.

nesn.com

Smith was one of the best and most complete tight ends on the open market. The 25-year-old athletic tight end has 114 catches for 1,302 yards with 16 touchdowns in four NFL seasons. Smith, who’s 6-foot-3, 248 pounds, is coming off of his best NFL season when he caught 41 passes for 448 yards with eight touchdowns with the Tennessee Titans in 2020.

Smith is a versatile player who also is one of the better blocking tight ends in the NFL. He has three career carries for 57 yards and a touchdown, as well.

"north of $10 million, perhaps north of $13 million"

Good to know that they're not going to have to come close to his $20 million asking price.

It’s interesting how the end of his Patriots career really overshadowed the rest. For the first year and a half (until he got his to-be-career-ruining injury in 2008), he was exactly as we had hoped. If a number of things happen / don’t happen in the game-that-shall-not-be-named, I think there’s a very solid argument that he should have been MVP. But obviously he returned in 2009 as a shell of himself and with his suddenly shifted attitude over being benched (remember he was the guy who printed out Humble Pie t-shirts for the team in 2007), became the poster child for that team’s problems. Probably the only real team mutiny attempt in the BB era, fortunately enough core guys like Brady were still around and in charge so it never happened.

top PTP edge on the market - i just cant believe it

Sorry, but can‘t find the tweet source, but I read that Judson is the 5th best in the NFL for QB hits in the last 3 (5?) years. Might not be elite for sack totals, but that’s right up there.

Setting the edge was one of the biggest problems for the Patriots last season.

38 sacks in 5 seasons. But holding the edge was an even bigger problem for us. 3 down player.

No coincidence that the most active day 1 of free agency BB has ever had comes in the year when he has the most cap room to spend.

I was surprised we didn't draft him back in the day. We could have used them over the last few years. I'm not sure how I feel about him as a person (threatening to air dirty laundry isn't really a great mark in his favor IMO), but from a purely football perspective, I'm all in.

Bill, you magnificently aggressive son-of-a-b*tch!

Normally for Pats fans things only getting interesting in FA after 48 hours. It’s going to be so boring in 48 hours time
