Pats possibly looking at Courtney Upshaw

[reflexblue]

Interesting, i thought he had more production though.

er a league source, the 49ers and possibly the Patriots represent other alternatives for Upshaw, who started 15 games in 2015 and, in all, 55 games in four seasons — including Super Bowl XLVII.

49ers, possibly Patriots, could enter pursuit of Courtney Upshaw

NE all over the place in last few days. I like it.

His stats are not great but his value could go beyond numbers. He can set the edge in the run game.

I'm really not sure why they are looking at bringing him in. Hes so-so.

You have Shea Mcclellin signing yesterday to help with ILB and a little of OLB.

I am openly wondering if the team is doubting that it can sign High AND Collins AND Butler.

 

[Kontradiction]

Captain Stone will be happy to hear this.

Well the only guys that they've signed for longer than one year are Hogan and McClellin. In all reality the Cooper trade, Long and Bennett will leave the Pats with the same holes next year, assuming they are gone after a year. So there is a ton of room to sign whomever they want.

I'm not buying it. He'd be a really weird fit in a 4-3, given his complete inability to get to the QB. I think I'd just rather put Easley there in situations where they want a little extra run-stuffing ability.

 

[Deus Irae]

He was awful last year.

Possibly. If they want any shot at keeping all three I think they need to sign two in the next ~months and use the tag on the other in 2017 as I think one of the three is hell-bent on hitting the market.

What ever happen to Aldon Smith?

What ever happen to Aldon Smith?

Still suspended and, while any team can sign him, he's not eligible to return until November.

Suspended Aldon Smith is free to sign, but not to play

He's in Oakland which is odd because he should be in San Quentin...

He's slow and his technique is poor. He looked good in college because of his grown man strength and being able to toss around those OL like rag dolls.

Oh I thought it was'da same.

That would be a first.

That will make him a hot commodity on this board. If they can sign Smith, Gordon, Blackmon, and Bryant they Will be one OJ from a monster off-season.

That's a dirty lie. Captain Stone is never happy.

We don't need him until December.

We don't need him until December.

By then Logan Airport and MassPort will have made the appropriate security preparations.
