Patriots Rumor Tracker / FA Signings (Updated: Signings in OP - 4/7)

[PatsFan2]

I said Diggs only if he takes a paycut
And I wanted Pierce but not for that $.
Obviously what Eagles want is out of the question.

And we know he was never going to agree to do that.

I think a lot of people are overlooking the possibility that there could have been a "come back to us after June 1st" for AJ Brown from the Eagles.

It just makes no sense for them to an extra $20m hit when they can wait a couple of months and actually save cap space if they trade him after June 1st.

 

[reflexblue]

That doesn't make sense. Diggs is primarily in the slot and medium range. Pierce is a deep ball guy. Also different sizes. Would love to see them re-sign Diggs but obviously the contract needs to be fixed.

Never say never

 

[TommyD4207]

And we know he was never going to agree to do that.

In a couple of weeks, he might not have a choice.

 

[Rob0729]

And there goes Oweh.

Much better player and deal than Mafe, but still looks to be an overpay.

True. i'm just not keen on giving up a first rounder in what's looking like a very strong draft next year.

 

[Hugepatsfan]

Would make some sense for us...

Teams by that point would have filled needs via free agency and the draft. So Eagles would receive significantly less compensation if they wait.

Really nice player.

 

[manxman2601]

There's still plenty of time to go, but we might be looking at some compensatory picks next year. When was the last time we had those?

He's terrible

I'm not counting on that.

What have the Pats actually Lost?

Hooper - 3.25M
Tonga - 7M AAV
Lowe - 6.125 AAV

Dre'Mont Jones - 13.16M AAV
Gilliam - $4M AAV.

Holy ****.

Ok now I’m sure Chaisson gets a bag.

 

[Brady85-23]

Resign chaisson now

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

I’m thinking Chaisson will be gone. Unfortunate. Sign Hendrickson for short term.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

I’m thinking Chaisson will be gone. Unfortunate.

They aren’t paying him $15MM/yr

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Good question. On that note, they just released the list for this year’s draft.



edit - 2023 draft, one of which was traded and the other got Pop Douglas.

The Patriots have received 48 comp picks since the NFL began the system in 1994, which is the fifth-most among all teams. New England last received comp picks in 2023 when the team received additional fourth- and sixth-round selections, which turned into guard Atonio Mafi and corner Ameer Speed (the comp pick was traded to the Raiders for two selections) and wide receiver DeMario Douglas (drafted in the sixth round).

New England Patriots receive no comp picks, enter 2025 NFL Draft with nine selections

The 2025 NFL Draft order is set, and the New England Patriots are set to bring nine selections to Green Bay in late April.

Why are we interested in signing another 3rd-4th WR we have plenty of those

Its smart to check in on all options. You need to drink less caffeine me thinks
