Old friend Brandon Bolden is back in a Patriots uniform. The Patriots signed a free agent yesterday but it wasn’t the splash free agent signing Patriots fans were hoping for. Old friend Brandon Bolden is back after signing a two year deal on Wednesday. The Patriots also re-signed cornerback Jason McCourty to a two year deal, defensive end John Simon to a two year deal and wide receiver Phillip Dorsett…

Brown signed a 4 year, $66 million dollar deal while Flowers signed a 5 year $90 million dollar deal. Both got big time guaranteed money in their respective deals. There is no question that both players were…

Unrestricted Jeremy Hill, RB: After tearing his ACL in camp, I think Hill gets a one year offer from the Patriots and stays. Hill could be a nice compliment to Sony Michel. Chris Hogan, WR: Hogan’s production has slipped the past two seasons and he will have a limited market. I can see Hogan staying but I do not see the Patriots committing to him long term. Phillip Dorsett, WR: Dorsett will…

Patriots: Breaking down the Michael Bennett acquisition and how the Patriots could use him

March 11, 2019
0 comment

The Patriots surprised the NFL on Friday when they traded for defensive end Michael Bennett. The Patriots acquired Bennett and a seventh round pick in 2020 for a fifth round pick. In return, the Patriots get two years of Bennett. It is a steal for New England because while Bennett might not be the elite pass rusher he once was, he is still effective and he can line up as…

Patriots: The Patriots should not overpay to keep Trey Flowers

The New England Patriots have a tough decision to make at the start of free agency on Monday. Do they re-sign defensive Trey Flowers or do they let him walk? The answer is simple. Let him walk. Bill Belichick has to resist the temptation and not over spend to keep Flowers. As valuable as he is, Flowers is also easily replaceable. I understand that it is tough to move on…

(Gregory Payan/AP) When news broke on Friday that Patriots owner Robert Kraft was being charged with soliciting prostitution at a spa in Jupiter, Florida, I was stunned. Like most people, several thoughts crossed my mind. Why would Robert Kraft visit an establishment like this? Why would a 77 year old billionaire want to ruin his reputation by getting caught up in something like this? None of it added up to…

Patriots: OBJ to the Patriots? I have a hard time believing they will pay the price to acquire him

The Patriots reportedly made an offer to the New York Giants last summer for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. I have a hard time believing that the Patriots would make the kind of offer it would take to land Beckham. That is not the way they operate as an organization. Sure, Bill Belichick traded for Brandin Cooks but as we saw, that didn’t work out. For all his faults, Beckham…

Fresh off their Super Bowl LIII win, the Patriots are basking in their glory. At least some of them are. Bill Belichick is not one of them. Belichick not only has to get ready for the combine, free agency and the draft, he also has to fill several openings on his coaching staff. New Dolphins head coach Brian Flores raided the Patriots staff and took with him three assistants. Receivers…

They developed a strong relationship when Schiano was the head coach Rutgers. Belichick’s son and current Patriots safeties coach Steve Belichick transferred his senior year and was a long…
