WR Rishard Mathews requests release from Titans.

If the Patriots sign Matthews, they're going to cut somebody at a completely different position because there are way too many red flags in his past few months to assume he's automatically an upgrade.
 
Matthews just got released. Get ready for him to sign with the Pats in 3,2,1.

Can he sign with anyone immediately, or does he have to go through waivers? In other words, is he a vested veteran?
 
It might be Patterson but what has Hogan done

Hogan is WAYYYYY better than Patterson. His problem is that he's being guarded by the other team's best corner and is playing outside of his natural role as the #3. With Edelman and Gordon, he'll suddenly start making noise.

Hogan is not at risk. Dorsett should be renting.
 
Hes returned a few punts at the NFL level.

Not sure who I would cut. Not sure it would be a WR

Gordon
JE
Matthews
Hogan
Dorsett/Patterson

That isn't too bad.

It would be Patterson if they're going to cut a WR at all.
 
I'm happy with Gordon and Coleman but I would take Matthews over Dorsett and Hogan and Patterson.

I'd like to keep Patterson for kick offs and some jet sweep plays for cheap yards. The problem is, defenses aren't concerned with the run or pass so they can sniff out those plays with Patterson.

I'm not sure. Since he wanted to be released, I'm thinking he would be free to go anywhere.

You are right. Hogan hasn't done anything and that's only because he's just not a #1 WR . 7/11 is closed when he attracts the the best DB on the other team. He is more effective as the #3rd option at best. His effectiveness goes up when the amount of options the Pats have goes up. Adding Matthews, Gordon and Edelman would make me feel a lot better moving forward.
