What to Watch For At Pats Training Camp/July 25 Training Camp Day 1 Thread

More likely he'll be traded.

Let's re-visit this in due course.

More likely he'll be traded.

He won't get traded.

I just left my job I absolutely hated. The stress and anxiety just lifted and it has been amazing.

Good move, to much stress can kill.

More likely he'll be traded.

If Duke Dawson can step up...

Random thought, but watching Watson back in a Pats uni after all this time will feel very bizarre.

In the time that Watson was gone, Rob Gronkowski has a Hall of Fame GOAT career, not to mention Hernandez’s saga. Mayo went from his rookie teammate to being presumed de facto defensive coordinator.

Thanks for all who posted updates today!!

Really intrigued by the wide reciever position. Going to be pulling for a good camp for my binky Berrios.

He won't get traded.

If others who play his position better who are cheaper and play STs well hes gone

 

[RobertWeathers]

Let's re-visit this in due course.

OK lets revisit the Matt Slater comparisons as well as right now hes not close to that level of excellence.

More likely he'll be traded.

With both Patricia and Flores familar with his value and others I'm sure Pats will have multiple suitors when it comes to releasing their players.

More likely he'll be traded.

Sad to agree with this, but yeah. It's good that he's pumping up his own trade value. Maybe the team is deliberately putting him in situations that make him look good during practice. The more likely scenario is that he's just that good; if he stays there is 0 chance anyone takes his job.

No question.

In HOU, TN, DET, MIA and to a lesser extent TB (Licht) all desire players who know the NEP system.

I would suspect he'll want to route players to the NFC

And to top it all off, 5 more Super Bowl trips with 3 rings to show for it.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I have been running all over the place.

Sorry about that. It was super-mean of me to pull out my laser pointer.

More likely he'll be traded.

Maybe but that would depend on Williams or Dawson to make substantial progress. Jones is a solid player for us and has the experience. If they’re not confident in those guys or someone else he will stay the season. Gilmore, McCourty, Jackson and Jones is a good group of DBs.

More likely he'll be traded.

I wouldn’t want to see Jonathan Jones traded. He’s here on a cheap (ish) one year tender and you can never have enough good DBs.

Just as importantly, what would they be able to get for him? What’s a guy like JJ hauling in terms of draft comp, lately? A 6th rounder? Maybe a 5th?

After watching FlyboyPatsfan footage and just my personal feeling my receiver binkies are Maurice Harris, Gunner Olszewski, and Ryan Davis.

All off season, which seems like forever, have argued that as fans we do not know what we had in Danny Ettling.. he did travel with the team and carry a clipboard.

Guess now we now know, a WR project who has little chance of making this team.. my argument just officially crapped the bed. Guess BB wasted another 7th round draft pick (#219)... (sighs heavily)....

Olszewski is my binkie. Poor guy. That means he’ll be cut next week.

Absolutely. If Dawson falters JJ most likely stays. Keep in mind Jason Mc played a ton in the slot as well. I expect JC to never leave the field this year and Jason and his salary need snaps. We'll see

If another "boundary" CB emerges W
