Stevie Johnson likely to sign with Pats [3/17 update: signs w/ San Diego]

[Deus Irae]

Have no issue with the Pats bringing Johnson into the fold....though I'd prefer Shorts or Crabtree

Regardless we need the depth because between inconsistencies and injuries that seem certain we are not very deep at the position just somewhat...wouldn't surprise me if they got a Day 1 or Day 2 wideout from this years class as someone to give Garoppolo to grow with in the offense

Shorts is signed. He'll be in Houston, with Big Vince.

A very promising day has turned to ****.

F*ck

Not really sure why everyone is going crazy about this guy. He would be nice depth but I'd rather either Tyms or Dobson, who both have something we are lacking in height and deep threat ability, have more reps in practice.

Yikes. You'd rather have Brian Tyms than Stevie Johnson?!

 

[RIpats88]

this Free agency has been a disaster so far. imagine if we let McCourty go to the eagles. Apparently we are going to keep the 12+million in cap space and not spend any of it...

but, just because he hasn't signed there doesn't mean he wont

I wouldn't rather have Dobson either...

lol, good thing you dont run the Pats. Are you happy with Butler over Revis too?

 

[FCB02062]

Krafty probably offered to pay him minimum wage hourly....

well, i wont go that far.

if he signed with Eagles...maybe we would have resigned revis...maybe we wouldnt have resigned revis but spend more money elsewhere.

my only concern, albeit huge, is who the heck is playing cornerback for us next year. rookies dont come in to the NFL at corner and dominate.

 

[Marqui]

They hell happened to "very likely" to sign?

 

[patsinthesnow]

@McClain_on_NFL: Cecil Shorts III two-year contract is worth $6 million.

 

[Jimke]

Johnson will sign with the Jets tonight.

 

[Gronkowski123]

dont worry we will solve or cb/wr problems in the draft.

I feel like somewhere between these two reactions, the truth lies.

 

[Joey007]

FFS. Do we want to sign anybody? ?? 14 million in cap room for nothing.

 

[BobDigital]

I hear still very likely but leaving without a contract does not make me feel good about it. For now I will put it as 25/75 till I get more news. Might still come back if other offers aren't much better.

Not likely in this century.
