For many New England Patriot fans, Monday was a sad day. Julian Edelman announced his retirement with a video that was posted on social media, thus driving another nail in the coffin of the Patriots dynasty. The three most important pieces to the Super Bowl titles in 2014, 2016 and 2018 – Brady, Gronk and Edelman – are all gone now. If you were one of those folks who somehow…
According to a story by the Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian today, Julian Edelman is not expected to play the entire 2021 season. Edelman’s troublesome knee injury is expected to keep him sidelined for part of next season. How long before Edelman returns is anyone’s guess but it sounds like he is going to miss the start of the season. With the Patriots already thin at receiver, not having Edelman is…
The Jets trade of Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers yesterday took another team out of the quarterback mix in the top ten of this year’s draft. Carolina picked up Darnold’s fifth year option after the trade was completed meaning they will not be taking a quarterback with the eighth pick and are open for business as a possible trade partner. With Carolina now out of the running for a……
The 49ers and Dolphins trade yesterday illustrated just how expensive it is going to be for the Patriots to trade into the top ten if they want to draft one of the top four quarterbacks in this year’s class. With the 49ers trading up, one has to assume that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is now available in a trade. San Francisco quickly squelched that notion by saying they intend to hold…
The San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins made a massive trade today with the 49ers trading pick 12 in this year’s draft along with a first round pick in 2022 and 2023 and 2022 3rd round pick for the number 3 pick in this year’s draft. The 49ers obviously traded up to take one of the four quarterbacks projected to go in the top five. Whether it’s Zach Wilson, Justin…
The Patriots re-signed both defensive end Lawrence Guy and running back James White on Wednesday. Guy signed a four year $11.5 million dollar deal to remain with the team while White signed a one year deal. On the surface, that may not be a big deal but bringing back two guys that have won Super Bowls here and understand the Patriot Way was vitally important to the reshaped roster. Guy…

Chung was a second round pick out of Oregon in 2009. The same draft class that produced Sebastian Vollmer and Julian Edelman. The Patriots traded out of the first round that year and ended up drafting 14 players. Chung was the first player picked. Upon arriving in New…
“F**k it, I’m back in.” That was my buddy Mike’s reaction in a group text at about 8 P.M. on Thursday night after Cam Newton put up another Instagram post of himself following a workout. It was probably the same reaction many Patriots fans had, the fans that refuse to believe this team can be as bad as it was last year. These videos are nothing new, as Cam has been…
He’s back! Center David Andrew’s re-signed with the Patriots tonight. Andrews signed a four year deal with the team but financial terms were not released. Andrews had been linked to other teams most notably the Falcons (He’s from Georgia) Packers and Dolphins. In the end, Andrews more than likely took less money to stay in New England. He loves it here and this is where he wanted to be all…
After spending last season in Miami, guard Ted Karras and outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy are back in New England. Karras signed a one-year deal that could be worth up to $4 million dollars. Van Noy signed a two-year, $13.2 million dollar deal a year after bolting for Miami on a massive four-year, $51 million contract. The return of Karras is a sure sign that the Patriots are probably moving on…
