No Matthew Judon Tuesday<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Patriots veteran Matthew Judon was not out early for the start of Tuesday’s practice.\u00a0 The veteran normally had made a habit of coming out ahead of practice and playing catch with the fans, and up to this point, despite his contract issues, he had been out there.<\/p>\n

However, that wasn’t the case Tuesday.\u00a0 NBC Sports Boston reporter Phil Perry reported on Tuesday that in addition to not being on the practice field, Judon was also not even at the facility<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 That would lead you to believe the two sides are now at a significant stalemate, with the veteran not any closer to reaching an agreement.<\/p>\n

Mike Giardi of Boston Sports Journal reports that things escalated on Monday “because the two sides remained far, far, far apart<\/strong><\/a> on any modifications to the deal.”<\/p>\n

It’s obvious that whatever the bar was previously for Judon and his agent changed, with several reports indicating that the deal Christian Barmore signed altered the landscape.\u00a0 The veteran went from saying just a few weeks ago “We ain’t that far apart, you feel me?<\/strong><\/a>” to where we are now, where the gap is suddenly significant enough that it’s reaching a boiling point.<\/p>\n

Clearly, add in whatever happened yesterday, and things have changed.\u00a0 Now, the only question is how things will end, which will now have everyone wondering if the two sides can find common ground or if they’re simply headed toward a split ahead of this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Another Tough Day For Maye<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye had another tough outing on Tuesday, with Maye getting a longer look toward the end of practice but failing to put together any momentum.<\/p>\n

According to Mark Daniels of MassLive, Maye started out hitting 3-of-4 to open the 11-on-11 period, but followed that up completing 1-of-6 during what ended up being a rough stretch for the rookie.\u00a0 One thing to note was that he was working with the second-team offense, but the operation as a whole was shaky and he wasn’t able to string together positive plays.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brissett was efficient with the offense, although he struggled at times during Tuesday’s practice.\u00a0 Overall, he also completed 5-of-11 during 11-on-11s, but during an earlier point in practice, he had several nice throws, including a terrific throw to Kayshon Boutte, who made a nice grab against good coverage by Marcus Jones.<\/p>\n
