Monday starts the Legal Tampering period where teams and players can exchange proposals and essentially agree upon new contracts that can’t be executed until Thursday, the offiical start of the NFL’s new year.

We’re one day away from Apple+ releasing the next two episodes of “The Dynasty,” (they’ve been coming out on Thursday nights as of late) and apparently Matthew Slater ends up pretty honest in episode eight when it comes to Bill Belichick’s relationship with Tom Brady.

While the New England Patriots are obviously trying to figure things out at the tackle position heading into free agency and the draft, it’s entirely possible they may actually already have at least one potential solution in-house.

Yesterday was the deadline for teams to make a decision when it came to making certain designations for players, and New England ended up using the transition tag on free agent safety, Kyle Dugger.

According to Tony Pauline, the Patriots have reportedly left the door open to bring back recently released defensive back J.C. Jackson once the embattled player gets “his off-the-field issues in order.”

Heading into the 2024 season, the Patriots currently find themselves without a starting tight end on their roster, making this an obvious need ahead of both free agency and the draft.

The Patriots need to make sure if they move on from Henry that whoever they bring in is truly an upgrade. 

While Jayden Daniels has been the name most people in New England have been talking about in recent weeks, Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy remains one that is worth talking about.

Sitting with the number three overall pick has the Patriots in a position to select much of the top-end quarterback talent heading into April’s draft, but any thoughts of moving back could certainly have a massive ripple effect.

The Underwear Olympics has been completed!   The Patriots had a slew of representative at the combine including Head Coack Jerod Mayo and Director of College Scouting (defacto GM) Eliot Wolf.  Both spoke to the media last week, an obvious departure from Bill Belichick, and gave some insight into the new draft process.

“You don’t want to game plan for me. You want to game plan with me,” Drake Maye said at the NFL Combine this week.

Whether it’s Jacoby Brissett, Joe Flacco, or someone else who the club brings in as a possible bridge quarterback, it sounds like Mac Jones may not be in the mix in 2024.

Heading into this offseason, the key question was clearly going to be centered on how the Patriots would shape their quarterback room heading into 2024, and what the plan would be as they prepare to begin a new chapter under new head coach, Jerod Mayo.

According to multiple reports, the Patriots have parted ways with the embattled cornerback J.C. Jackson, ending his tenure with the club less than a year after making a deal with the Rams to bring him back to New England.

Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston had former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer on his podcast this week, and Hoyer provided some incredible insight into what was obviously a fascinating/frustrating season in 2022.

With both Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels being potential targets for the New England Patriots, both guys sounded pretty excited to possibly be the next QB up here in New England.

One thing that was interesting to go back and look at was the 2018 NFL Draft, with the duo of Eliot Wolf and Alfonzo Highsmith both doing the heavy-lifting under GM John Dorsey in handling the reboot for the Cleveland Browns.

One interesting bit of news on Wednesday is the fact that it appears that former Patriots tight ends coach Nick Caley was the guy they ultimately wanted to hire as their offensive coordinator.

Wolf said on Tuesday in a separate press meeting with the local media following his earlier press conference that the club hasn’t made a decision yet on J.C. Jackson’s future.

Tuesday night reportedly saw the Patriots meet with the first of several quarterback prospects, with NFL Analyst Ryan Fowler reporting that New England was among several teams who were set to meet with LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels last night.
