Tomlinson and Watson.

I don't understand why Bill couldn't have just known exactly which rookies would be performing well after 6 games and taken them instead??? I think he should be fired

I hate the Patriots still being 10 games away from the consecutive wins record even after the past weekend!!!!!

Who are Pats releasing to make room for both TEs?

One takes Johnson's place. LaCosse hasn't been released, so someone else needs to be released to make room for 2nd TE, no?

Hoping for LaCosse to IR. He's basically just one of our lower WRs on the depth chart in terms of skillset.

Yup.

I would take Mike Reiss' reporting over I-an Rappin' Part everyday, and twice on Sunday.

Was just about to say maybe Watson considered it and then decided to stay retired. But sounds like both are being signed. Jacob's to IR and then with Lacosse being hurt, I'm guessing he will be cut and possibly return to the PS (assuming he clears waivers and is eligible).

Agree, but everything I've read says he's liable to miss a few weeks, so not sure what qualifies to be IR'd

@Dexter posted it in another thread first but probably worthy of its own thread



What’s this guys deal? Does he block?

I thought he was a vet. This is his 4th year so not sure if he's PS eligible, probably not.

Good. Keep your brain and body intact, Gronk!

Been saying this for 2 years. 2018 & 2019 drafts were loaded with excellent TE’s, not getting one in the top 4 rounds was a huge mistake (for the future).

One of those TEs will be cut next year and Bill will have himself the TE version of Danny Shelton.

well when Rapsheet says LaCosse is about to miss several weeks, I assume he goes to IR

You are probably right, I am lacking in knowledge on PS eligibility. I just googled it and it says 3 seasons on the PS. IR'ng him would suck. No guarantee the newbie gets the Offense, although it sounds like he will be mostly blocking, and/or Watson staying healthy at his age. On the bright side, I doubt teams will be beating down the door to sign Lacosse when healthy in four weeks.

 

[Nunchucks]

Jordan Richards can be cut.

 

[ivanvamp]

Well I think even though Tomlinson isn't great, he and Watson represent a pretty decent upgrade at the position over what they've had.

[Vatahala]

Strange neither WEEI or ESPN's Mike Reiss has a Tomlinson story yet.
Pats are dropping some young hoe from the practice squad maybe Tomlinson ends up there.

 

[Pats2000]

He looks like he can rush the passer tho

They dropped kicker from PS, so maybe send someone from roster there, but who?

Or the QB like you say.
