Who returns punts for the Patriots in 2017?

[long distance]

He's perfect as a 5wr here. We don't need a superstar. Just someone reliable who can fill in. It seems like a no brainer

Experienced outside + slot WR + KR +PR w good character and attitude . that could come in for Jules .. I wonder where I heard that before?

Keshawn Martin Most Likely Patriots Receiver To Fill In For Julian Edelman

Last minute injury lead to not so nice divorce last Sept. but that shouldn't be a problem.

Reiss seems to think that it might be. I would guess more on Martin's side of things than on BB's side.

Lol.

Unless BB is supremely confident he can do better than Martin if he is not at practice today or tomorrow I think it's an upset.

Makes way too much sense.

Martin needs a job. That's his only problem at the moment.
There are worse things than signing w SB champs ready to repeat . sharing a grind w some old friends Id guess..

Huh? Reiss thinks Martin is bitter and holds a grudge?

TBH I wondered why they didn't sign him last week.

Maybe Martin has a beef w BB?

IDK. Reiss merely indicated that he thinks there may be some "bad blood." Beyond that, you'd have to ask Reiss himself.

Well, that might explain the reason he is not on the team now or after today.

Well, he was still in competition in DET and Cyrus was still making a strong case as Pats PR..

I got the impression that the disagreement may have been more about the injury settlement. If so, BB himself would have had nothing to do with that aspect.

that's a non factor in this situation . Reiss is a nice, sensitive guy..

You are right. He was cut on the 28th.

True but the question is if Martin is stubborn and doesn't want to play here

My guess is Martin might be the least sensitive guy from the three of you . which is a slight surprise..

I've been married for 20+ years and have 3 daughters.

I have to be sensitive.

Just sayin': one guy we know is available who (reportedly) caught every punt in practice is...Vince Wilfork.

C'mon guys! It's so simple!!!!

If BB decides to fill the PR slot from the players currently on the roster, then Will Likely might have a decent shot. He was a pretty good one in college. Also, with his size (5-8, 175), the only logical spot for him is at slot corner, where his main competition, Justin Coleman, was just traded.

Can we just call Dante Hall out of retirement??

Jonathan Jones plays the slot CB position as well.

WR Travis Rudolph from NYG becomes available (but has to go through waivers)
