Brady’s name has been dragged thru the mud one time too often and he, and the organization won’t have to take it lying down.

NE shells out a 10.75 million payout if Gronkowski records 90 percent playing time, 80 catches, 1,200 receiving yards, or is named to the All-Pro team.

Football, like, he had a concussion last year. He has concussions, pretty much. I mean, we don’t talk about it,” Bundchen added.

Confidence is high as always in New England. And for a team that has won 10 or more games for 14 straight seasons, why should there be any other feeling?

New England Patriots superfan Fitzy shares his thoughts and analysis on how the team performed at the 2017 NFL Draft.

The NFL will publish the full 2017 schedule of games tonight.

Consider this: from their inception in 1933 through 1971 the Steelers made the playoffs only once. Pittsburgh had a total of only seven winning seasons, and managed only four years where they were two or more games above .500.

The intrepid warriors at 345 Park Avenue have apparently been busy the last few months. Moving on from their color rush uniform campaign that left television viewers temporarily blinded, the quest for yet more revenue from apparel sales has ventured onward. Now it is new and unique hats for all 32 teams, to first be worn in public at the upcoming draft.

New England natives have strong opinions on Dont’a Hightower, with crucial plays from Super Bowls 49 and 51 etched in their memory. As the linebacker makes his free agency tour, how do writers and fans view the potential of seeing Hightower wearing black and gold at Heinz Field?

The Patriots have plenty of quickness at WR but not a ton of speed. Cooks will fix that. He has blinding speed and had TDs in 2016 of 98 and 87 yards.

With the start of the 2017 National Football League year just days away, below is a list of key dates for NFL and Patriot fans. Even though training camp is four months away, crucial decisions in the upcoming free agency and next month’s draft will have a critical impact on next season’s success for all 32 teams.

Depending on the source, Garoppolo is a shoo-in to the be the next QB for the Browns, 49ers or Bears….or not being on the trading block at all.
