Report: Patriots Signing WR Kenny Britt

^^repeats same info and credits Yates, so this is not necessarily corroboration

 

[Brady_Moss]

Or this could be due to the Branch injury...while they bring back Vincent instead of Mitchell

 

[Kdo5]

Interesting. They've given up on Dorsett? Don't expect Mitchell to return? Both?

I'll take it, let's see what he can do.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

I guess we need to merge threads

Britt would be an interesting signing. If he can get on the same page as Brady he offers the Pats some height and could really help in red zone. Not a positive sign for Mitchell or Dorsett.

Seems like bill's not happy with the offense. I hope that knee's good.

Sounds like a 2 year deal through 2018.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

done

Imagine if the NFL referees were as good as our moderators?

Wow, things must be much worse than I thought if they are bringing that sack of garbage in

I'm betting both.

Bill must be suffering withdrawal for not signing a Rutgers player in the last 72 hours.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Most reports on him discuss his good size (6'3", 225), good route running, decent hands, and lack of top-end speed.

Concerning is that the many systems he's been in, since Rutgers anyway, don't seem similar to ours. He has KO return experience also.

If I remember right, Bill was naturally "on him" during that draft, had interviewed him and worked him out, but he went #30 overall.

In Bill I trust.

The guy had over 1000 yards last season. He has had injuries in his career.

 

[TBR]

Odd and unexpected. Must mean Valentine is coming back instead of Mitchell.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

OK so he has played for the Browns and the Rams... Can he learn the PATRIOTS play book... QUICKLY?

 

[IllegalContact]

too late in the season for mitchell to get up to speed.....hogan and dola are beat up....dorsett os ok, but with cooks, he's too much redundancy and 2 of them on the field doesn't fly with the system here

good signing low risk

Like I said....BB is interested in talented players who work hard, are good teammates and can help the team win.

He is not interested doling out justice or enforcing some ethical or moral standard.
