I do not know if we can extend him right now because of the cap.
He is a good kid. I do not understand why some members here want him gone like he is trash.
That’s like a dozen guys on the Pats every year. Generic post. Is that why you didn’t put Dorsett’s name in your post?
Agreed. Pretty much the same way they approached it last season and offseason. I really like him a lot. I don't see the production getting much higher than we've seen, though, if AB and JG stay straight and Jules stays healthy.I love the guy -- as two years of posts show -- but I don't see a reason to extend him. Chances are he will mostly be a third down valve down the line with AB getting more integrated and Harry coming back from IR.
Then roll the dice next offseason, let him test FA and see if his market makes any sense to match whatever he gets offered. Fair deal for both sides.
Seems like Dorsett have come a long way good for him... I hope he learns from AB some on the Field and not off it. We know the Defense ain't going to double him with the cast we have now. That said Dorsett is good #4 WR wish him all the best but I hope no Team pays him like a #2 or 3 WR.

Respect. But I'm sorry to say his role will almost certainly diminish once AB gets up to speed. It happened last season when Gordon started maturing in the offense. People are being prisoners you the past two games. I really like him and want him on this team. The guy catches everything. But he's limited. The guys in front of him are, at the very least, far more athletic and can also catch the ball very well. Plus my assessment of him was in regard to this season, not next.I strongly disagree. I don't see how Dorsett should be worth less to us next year because he plays behind Brown, Gordon, and Edelman this year.
Dorsett is good enough to be one of our top 3, playing outside if Edelman is in the slot.
If Belichick can extend him, I suggest that he do it.
Why should we roll the dice next year? Let's start the offseason with Edelman, Dorsett and Harry (and perhaps Meyers).
Media is trying to start a narrative for him to demand a trade

Very valid, Deus.One difference is likely to be that the Patriots will be in a position to use more 4WR sets. Another is that Brady is obviously a bigger fan of Dorsett now than he was before, and that bigger fandom is being earned on the field. So, sure, Dorsett will quite possibly be relegated to WR4. But, in this offense, WR4 should get a pretty good number of opportunities, unless the team needlessly goes whole hog into feeding Brown the ball.
