Patriots Rumor Per Jeremy Fowler: Patriots have their sights set on Tyler Lockett

[Grogan14]

On their radar is not the same as have their sights set on.
This is plan Z

Let's play the 'what if' game... Let's say they move Onwenu back to the left side so they can sign a RG.

Now lets assume they sign Brandon Scherff (the best OG left on the marker) at 5-6M/year
Let's also assume they sign OT Tyron Smith at 7.5M/year

Keep in mind these are likely the 2 best and most expensive players at their position left on the market. Let's say it cost them 14M to sign both. (it won't for year 1... but let's say it does).. they still have about 26M to play with before they need to worry about eating into the emergency fund or draft pick money...

What else do they plan to spend it on if they sign Locket for his estimated 8m this year? That would leave them 18M more to spend... on what exactly? What is left to spend on? What spot is more important... They could always use more help on the DL of course... but who specifically would cost that much that would be better than bringing Cooper or Diggs here? I don't see it.

This makes way too much sense which is why it won’t happen.

Once again kraft super cheap. Patriots trying to find value at WR by dumpster diving

Lockett is completely washed up. What are we doing?

Poor Drake Maye

My guess the contract they offered Diggs, where he said think you for a lovely evening got forwarded to Lockets agent.

This is something we're going to be saying a lot this season

Biggest problem with patriots front office. When they miss out on a quality wide receiver, they simply settle for lesser talent

Why draft Drake Maye if we’re going to spend half his rookie contract not equipping him with weapons at WR or LT?

How in gods name is any of this related to "Kraft is cheap" or "Wolf's vision"? Don't we all know by now it's VRABEL'S vision? How do we know Lockett is demanding significantly less money than his comparables?

I don't think Vrabel wants to go tits up in the division: and the Bills window is slowly closing.

How in the world is it not? The Pats are the lowest spending team in the entire NFL for a decade, one of the worst reviewed franchises by players year after year and have the worst offensive roster in the entire NFL. How bad does it have to get before we are "allowed" to criticize ownership and the FO?

 

[Hyped]

Not the guy he was 2-3 years ago, but sign the beast!

We need WRs...plural!

Lackluster, Nelson Agholar would be more exciting.

What’s next Sanu comes out of retirement for a Workout?

 

[yukon cornelius]

If this is instead of pursuing a trade for Aiyuk or getting Diggs when healthy, I don't like it. If this is in addition to those, ok, sign me up.

that's the thing......will either be healthy enough to even be cleared this season, and how good will they be if/when they are........I'd be willing to bet, based on the lack of real interest in either out of anyone so far, that the answer is later rather than sooner

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Moving Onwenu to the LEFT SIDE didn't work the last time they tried it, even though some clowns think it's "No Problem".

 

[Love The Drake]

Brandin Cooks to Saints.
Is Donald Driver still standing?

Once again demonstrating that you really don’t know what you are talking about. Tyler Lockett is and always has been 10x the receiver Nelson Agholor is.

I think Lockett is a retread duplicate of Bourne.
Why not draft Hawkins of Iowa state in the second round and start out fresh

The Bourne comparisons again glad he has no pictures of me. But has quite few of Patsfans who overrates him.
