Some Patriots news on this Wednesday:<\/p>\n

No Serious Offers So Far<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With all the talk of the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> potentially trading down, and Eliot Wolf admitted he’d gotten calls during his press conference last week, reports on Tuesday revealed nothing serious enough to move the needle had transpired just yet.<\/p>\n

According to Mark Daniels of MassLive, despite what interest they’ve received so far for the #3 overall pick, he cited a source who characterized the offers as “laughable,”<\/strong> <\/a>with the club reportedly still waiting for what it would consider to be a “serious” offer.<\/p>\n

It’s not hard to figure out.\u00a0 This is a group of players who most believe will likely be viable NFL starters, which the Patriots would have to potentially walk away from in order to move back.\u00a0 That means for any team looking to move up to this spot, especially knowing New England’s situation, they absolutely have to make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Still, according to Daniels, another source said they weren’t sure if another team would indeed make an unprecedented enough offer to entice New England to move down.<\/p>\n

The landscape could also be changing ahead of tomorrow night.\u00a0 Reports seem to indicate that the Falcons could be on the verge of being penalized for tampering in the Kirk Cousins negotiations.\u00a0 If that were to occur, it sounds like rather than swap picks with Minnesota, the league may instead bump Atlanta from #8 down to #32 overall.<\/p>\n

That would change things from a trade standpoint.\u00a0 It would make Minnesota’s picks slightly more valuable, while also removing a player from being selected ahead of what would now be selections at #10 and #22.<\/p>\n

The buzz locally is that the Patriots are fond of North Carolina QB Drake Maye, whom the Vikings appear to also be coveting.\u00a0 But whether or not they’re willing to put together a package worthy enough to get the Patriots to make a deal is now the key question ahead of tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

Big Trade With Chicago A Possibility?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One interesting notion from Ben Volin was initially somewhat dismissable, but comments from Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles are enough to make you wonder if it might be a possibility.<\/p>\n

In Volin’s Sunday Notes column<\/strong><\/a>, Volin wrote that it’s possible that the Bears could get aggressive and be in the mix with New England.\u00a0 He suggested that after taking Caleb Williams at #1 overall, they would then package together a deal on a trade that would see them move to #3, ahead of Arizona, and take Marvin Harrison Jr.<\/p>\n

That would essentially see them grab both the best quarterback, and pair him with the best receiver, with the Bears essentially providing a massive injection into an offense that has forever been its Achilles Heel.<\/p>\n

In this proposed deal, the Patriots would acquire the #9 and #75 pick (Round 3) this year, along with a 1st and 3rd round pick next year (the Bears don’t have a 2nd round pick this year).\u00a0 The thought would then be New England could take J.J. McCarthy at #9.<\/p>\n

Poles was somewhat coy speaking to reporters on Tuesday when asked about who they’re taking tomorrow night.\u00a0 While most believe it will be Williams, his overall reaction during his press conference was interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, it’s one of those things I think everyone\u2019s got to tune in on Thursday to watch and figure out, but I feel really good about our process and where we are and where we\u2019re headed,\u201d Poles said, smiling<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cSo we know what we\u2019re going to do, but everyone is going to have to wait until Thursday to go there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poles smiled and shifted in his seat as he answered, almost as if he was trying to contain himself a little bit.<\/p>\n

The Bears are in an interesting spot.\u00a0 They absolutely do need to make a splash, especially given what they have going on in the background.\u00a0 A report on Wednesday revealed they’re set to request more than $2 billion in public funding<\/strong><\/a> ahead of what will be a $4.6 billion stadium project, with the club planning on an enclosed venue to replace Soldier Field.\u00a0 That money breaks down into $3.2 billion for the stadium itself, with $1.4 billion needed for the infrastructure around it.<\/p>\n

The fans also currently pay for a personal seat license, which, if past stadium projects are any indication, will potentially see an increased cost from where they are now.\u00a0 One would believe in order to avoid a massive backlash, their ongoing woes can’t continue.<\/p>\n

Grabbing Harrison Jr. would seemingly allow Williams to hit the ground running while also hopefully seeing the Bears turn things around in a big way.\u00a0 It would also instill serious confidence into a fan base that hasn’t had a whole lot to cheer about, and is about to see its tax dollars spent on the club’s massive stadium project.<\/p>\n

Whether or not there’s any smoke to Volin’s suggestion remains to be seen.\u00a0 But, in the meantime, it adds another layer to what’s already been an interesting – albeit tiring – storyline ahead of tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

Odds and Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported on Tuesday<\/strong><\/a> that the Patriots worked out veteran linebacker Cam Gill.\u00a0 The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent previously played with the Buccaneers and appeared in 12 games last season, finishing with 12 tackles, including a sack and a forced fumble. … Scott Zolak believes the club is going to make a trade, with Zolak saying his thoughts haven’t changed and won’t ahead of tomorrow night. “Yes,” he said bluntly.\u00a0 “I’m not changing until Thursday night.”\u00a0 However, the more interesting part was the fact Zolak shot down the report by Dianna Russini<\/strong> <\/a>suggesting that Jonathan Kraft is involved in football decisions.\u00a0 Zolak said he was told otherwise<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 “I was told he is not involved,” said Zolak.\u00a0 “Jonathan Kraft is not involved in football.\u00a0 Football decisions are made by the football people.\u00a0 Eliot Wolf, Matt Groh, Jerod Mayo, and the football staff.\u00a0 Where I thought they would get involved was that, ‘OK, hey, this team is calling Mr. Kraft – or Jonathan Kraft – and they want our pick at #3.’\u00a0 This is where I thought, they’re not going to get involved in telling you which quarterback to take or who we’re trading back to get.\u00a0 It would make sense to me, if it’s my organization and my team, and there’s this other team – an organization I know that I’m friends with – they’re offering up all this stuff, I would like to be involved in that.\u00a0 And I thought that’s where this report came from Russini where Jonathan is involved here.\u00a0 If there’s a big trade in the bag, we have to get it approved.\u00a0 We have to get it signed.\u00a0 We do.\u00a0 We have bosses.\u00a0 That would be normal operating procedure to me.\u00a0 I was told that is not the case.\u00a0 This is all Eliot.\u00a0 This is all Jerod, and this is all football people.\u00a0 Jonathan is not running the football part of it.\u00a0 Business, yes.\u00a0 Football, no.\u00a0 Believe what you want.” … Russini also reported on Tuesday that the Commanders have been getting calls at #2, but teams have been told “they are not moving” and that they “feel great about staying at #2 and picking their QB,” who most believe will be LSU’s Jayden Daniels. … Volin pointed out that the Patriots have had success at #34 overall (they’re second round pick), landing Patrick Chung in 2009 and Steve Nelson in 1974.\u00a0 Chung took a bit to ultimately pan out, with Bill Belichick admitting he didn’t use him properly initially before Chung returned after a brief stint in Philadelphia and went on to have a solid career here.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Nelson went on to play for 14 years and had a Hall of Fame career.\u00a0 Let’s hope Wolf can see them hopefully nail it again there this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
