With the on field workouts of the NFL Combine kicking off tonight, I thought I would share some of my thoughts on what this combine means for the Patriots. Here are ten thoughts. 1.It doesn’t appear the Patriots have met with Tom Brady’s agent Don Yee as was reported earlier in the week. In fact, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald has reported that the Patriots have not spoken to…

The news of the meeting reinforces the notion that Brady has an interest in returning to the New England and is willing to give the Patriots the first opportunity to sign him. League sources have been reporting the past two weeks that…
Image courtesy of Silver and Black Today Reports surfaced over the weekend that the Las Vegas Raiders were prepared to offer Tom Brady a two year, $60 million dollar contract. On the surface, this seems like a typical Raiders move by owner Mark Davis and head coach Jon Gruden. The Raiders love to sign aging stars. In reality however, offering Brady a contract makes sense for Las Vegas. The Raiders…
The Patriots announced last week that Director of Player Personnel Nick Caserio has agreed to terms on a new contract that will keep him in New England. Caserio has been with the organization for 19 years and was promoted to Director of Player Personnel in 2008. If you remember last summer, there was speculation that Caserio was being courted by the Houston Texans and that when his contract expired after…

Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj As the end of February approaches, the reality of Tom Brady becoming a free agent for the first time in his career becomes more and more likely by the day. The Krafts are doing their best to spin it, implying they are “letting” Tom Brady enter free agency because it will be better for all involved to see who has…
By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj On Saturday night before Kansas City ultimately ended a 50-year drought, the NFL held the now annual “NFL Honors” awards ceremony to officially cap the 2019 season. While we’ve grown accustomed to seeing other stars around the NFL accept awards at this event while Patriot players are holed up in their hotel rooms getting ready for yet another “biggest game of their life”, this year –…
Richard Seymour narrowly missed out on being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this past weekend. For the second year in a row, he finished in the top ten for modern candidates. Seymour has been on the ballot for three years and while he is inching closer to getting in, the voters just don’t seem comfortable with putting him in Canton right now. If Seymour were to get…
Photo courtesy of Tom Brady’s twitter account. The football world was abuzz on Thursday when Tom Brady posted this picture of him walking into an empty stadium on his Instagram account. Rumors started circulating that this was Brady walking into Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Others interpreted the picture as Brady possibly hinting at retirement. A few people mentioned that he was paying homage to Kobe Bryant who had a…
Offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia has retired after spending the past 34 of his 36 years in the NFL with the Patriots. During his illustrious career, Scarnecchia coached under head coaches Ron Meyer, Raymond Berry, Dick MacPherson, Bill Parcells, Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick. Scarnecchia was the only coach in league history along with former Steelers running backs coach Dick Hoak to coach 30 plus years with organization. The 71…
The Senior Bowl is the premier pre-draft all star game in football. Some of the top talent in college football will be on display today in Mobile. All 32 teams were present in Mobile. Unlike the past few years, the Patriots had a large contingent in Mobile led by Bill Belichick of course. Belichick hasn’t been in Mobile much in recent years but with the Patriots being eliminated early in……
