Three months after signing running back James Robinson in free agency, the Patriots announced on Monday that they have released the veteran running back. Robinson signed a two year deal worth up to $8 million dollars in March. The veteran running back went through OTA’s and seemed to be on track to be a change of pace back up to Rhamondre Stevenson. According to Mike Reiss, Robinson’s contract included injury…
Day two of Patriots mandatory minicamp is in the books. Here’s what we saw over the course of the two-hour session. One more left on Wednesday before the team heads home. -Julian Edelman was in the house. -Season ticket holders got to view practice and grab a few autographs, as well as meet Pat Patriot and some of the cheerleaders. Cool training camp-like atmosphere. -The team ran some conditioning drills…
Real football! Ok, not really, but kind of. On Monday, the Patriots began mandatory minicamp which in theory should have given us our first true look at the team, but there were still quite a few absences. Mac Jones had a good day but it got ugly down the stretch. That and more in our latest edition of the Patriots Journal with everything we saw for two hours… -James White…
The Patriots kick off three days of mandatory mini-camp today in Foxboro. We have focused on the obvious storylines all off season so I am not going to bore you with those. Instead, I am going to look for these five things but from a coaching perspective. I want to see how players and personnel are used and what the Patriots are doing schematically. Here are five things I will…
The voluntary part of the NFL offseason is officially over. With one more voluntary OTA in the books on Friday, the team now turns its attention towards mandatory mini camp next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. While Friday’s OTA was another slower-paced session and only lasted about an hour, there was still some impressive performances. Here’s everything you need to know from the hillside at Gillette… -Lots of absences again today….
The media was back at Gillette on Tuesday afternoon for a second open OTA. There will be one more on Friday before mandatory mini-camp Monday-Wednesday. There was some interesting stuff that went down. Here’s everything I saw from our viewing area: -Before practice, Bill Belichick said the day would be a bit slower paced after a few practices we haven’t seen where they’ve ramped things up, including in the classroom.Belichick…
Today will be the Patriots second OTA practice that is open to the media this spring. The first session had several notable moments and there will be much to watch for today. These are three things that I will be closely monitoring as practice unfolds: Offensive Execution The Patriots offense had arguable their best practice since Josh McDaniels left in the first open session last week. Mac Jones looked sharp,…

The regular season has simply become too easy for the four-time defending WFA Pro champs, with the latest example coming in the form of a 69-0 beatdown of the Tamba Bay Inferno in Revere on Saturday night. Boston (5-0) is somehow still finding ways week-after week…
The Patriots had two roster spots left and they are filling one of them by signing URI wide receiver Ed Lee. Lee got a tryout with the team last month and apparently has made the most of it. ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported Monday morning that the Patriots have agreed to terms with Lee. A nice New England college football story is unfolding: University of Rhode Island WR Ed Lee has…
Mac Jones met with the media after Wednesday’s OTA practice and talked about a variety of things most notably his relationship with new Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien. O’Brien was hired in January to fix the Patriots offense after abysmal tenure of former Patriots offensive assistant and play caller Matt Patricia. Jones has reportedly had a strong off-season thus far and despite continued speculation that he will have to compete…
