The Patriots are releasing wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, according to NFL insider Jason La Canfora. Knee issues have dogged Mitchell since his playing days at Georgia and are the cause […]

They can move him around to create matchups in the slot where he logged about 50 percent of the Titans’ snaps last year when the opportunity avails itself.

And Dorsett, this summer is getting in a lot of work inside. Both he and veteran Jordan Matthews are working in the slot as well

The loss of Edelman for that first month of the season, where the Patriots are normally slow starters is a big loss, there is no getting around that.

Matthews is 6’3, 212 pounds and excelled in the slot role with Philly averaging about 70 catches a year before an injury-plagued campaign with the non-throwing Bills.

Getting both Julian Edelman and Malcolm Mitchell back from IR, neither played in 2017 will be a huge boost. The team also drafted Braxton Berrios from Miami

The feeling here is that the Patriots drafted Bentley is a bit of a statement saying they expected more from Roberts. Training camp should prove to be interesting.

Julian Edelman has been on the field for the OTAs and looks like he hasn’t lost a bit of his quickness. Coming off of a serious ACL injury that caused him to miss all of 2017, that is good news

According to most reports Edelman looked as strong and quick as ever, appearing to be back to his explosive shifty self during his limited time on the field.  Edelman only took part in individual drills but from how it went, it’s good news

With the right coach and the right system, Samuels can line up anywhere and be a factor on offense. As a running back out in the flat, as an H-Back, or in the slot. He will probably become a core special teamer immediately.

Patterson averaged 28.3 yards per kick return for the Raiders last season, the previous two seasons with Minnesota, he averaged over 31.

His teammates call him “Danny Playoffs” or “Playoff ‘Dola” for his penchant of big-time catches when the stage is the biggest.

Mitchell has decent speed but isn’t a burner. He’s a move the chains kind of guy who can make the tough catches against man coverage.

Dorsett, like Brandin Cooks, has 4.33 speed in the 40. He also ran a 6.70 time in the 3-Cone Drill so he has the short area quickness as well

The Patriots on Saturday have swung another trade. They’ve traded QB Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts for WR Phillip Dorsett.
