Patriots are taping their wide receiver room together with marginal players.

It's been their recipe for success the past 20 years; why change now?

Agreed. Interesting to see them being this aggressive at the outset of free agency.

They don't have Brady any more, they have an old, broken down, washed up Cam Newton.

They may want to get some real help at WR

Agreed , isn’t going to work without the right Qb.

I don't see them winning a SB with those players.

[TBayXXXVII 2,104]

Wow, Patriots sure are spending a lot of money to finish in 3rd place in their division.

They're not even going to make the playoffs.

Henry Hunter come on down

[jrokh 567]

LMFAO, Bill responding to Brady winning the super bowl, by taking a flamethrower to Free Agency! Think he's finally having his midlife crisis....

@weepaws... Patriots = idiots (Hunter Henry)

[Skinny_Bastard 154]

Should have just signed Brady 2 years back.

They can try to sup up that Honda Accord, but it's still a Honda Accord.  Should have kept the Porsche instead.

They are going to be unstoppable in the red zone. They are also after a running back. Setting themselves up to draft a qb....

I could actually see this happening now....don't forget they are getting pick or picks from Texas for Cannon. 

[Nomad99 398]

Don't forget that the Patriots have an entire playbook based upon 2 TE's that they basically put in the file cabinet when Hernandez went all pew pew....

Bill has been letting that stew all these years.

He would have made a better Colt.

The Hoody is trying to ruin ff.

Colts are too smart to pay that money.

Don’t care about any of that, I’m only involved in football to play ff.  

So  I don’t care.  

He would have made a bigger ff impact as a Colt, now neither he nor J Smith are worthy of a top 12 consideration at the te. 

So you can stop talking about money with me , I really don’t care, just thinking about ff.  

Thanks

The actual contract terms for the Pats signing are very interesting ... several 1 million salary for 2021 leading to low cap hits this year.  Still awaiting all the details, but they probably still  have more room in this year than you realize.

Or you could also look at it as they are attempting to build a team like they had with Gronk and pre murderer Aaron Hernandez. Gronkowski and Hernandez combined for 169 receptions. The combined 2,237 receiving yards for Gronkowski and Hernandez are over 300 more than any team has had at tight end in a season.

They need to find a Qb to execute that style of offense, and he just won another super bowl with the Bucs.

Hey, wasn't there a QB named Trask who threw to his TE a lot?  Made a star out of some scrub named Pitts?  Hmmm...

[weepaws 2,450]

A lot of guys have potential then that reach that potential. 

Haven’t heard of him playing in  a single nfl game yet.
