Good, good.. curious about Ebner..

Splash.

Par for the course, lock up the ST players and fill roles when you can.

Thirteen to go including all the biggies.

Could mean the end for Slater, Ebner, maybe both. Who knows?

Not sure how someone is disagreeing with a post that doesn't take a position.

Hey guys every safety under agreement is more of a chance to take Richards off the roster.
In that context
Amazing Signing!

Awesome, print those super bowl tickets....

I'm curious where that supposition comes from. Since they all played together in the past it's not as though King would be taking Slater or Ebner's slot.

Well, y'know, the FO guys can only handle a limited number of these UFA re-signing ceremonies each day, what with the balloons, confetti, party hats, noisemakers and open bar. So, maybe Ebner this afternoon, if they've rallied.

You don’t start with big name role specific signings, you start by filling the positions that require the player to fill the many ST roles that need to be filled. This is standard operating procedure for the Patriots.

I am still puzzled why other teams dont try and snag Patriots Patriots special teamers. Brandon Bolden would seem to be a valuable piece for a team like Detroit, especially with all their Pats connections, but nope he signs for a little over the veteran minimum.

When Belichick is asked good football questions he gives good answers. I learned a lot listening to him discuss the loss of Ebnervand how may roles had to be filled in his absence. It really demonstrated why he values the players who can fill multiple roles in the team.

The other thing is, I'd bet that guys like this are a lot easier to negotiate with than everyone else. Their leverage is much more limited. Might as well get Bolden and King out of the way while they deal with much tougher negotiations with the big money guys in Solder and others.

Oh, I get it. Brady is the only guarantee, and King still has to prove himself.
