Patriots Free Agency: Need No. 2: Offensive Line
The Patriots offensive line has struggled mightily the past three seasons. Bill Belichick tried to fix the unit in last year’s draft by drafting three interior lineman in Sidy Sow, Jake Andrews and Atonio Mafi. All three played but struggled at times and looked rushed. Offensive tackles Trent Brown and Michael Onwenu manned the tackle spots. Brown had a tough season between injuries and not getting a contract extension offer…
Mac Jones was set up to fail with the Patriots
AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) The Patriots are trading quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth round pick in next month’s draft. The Patriots drafted Jones with the 15th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. At the time, I said that I liked the pick but Jones success hinged on the Patriots surrounding him with a talented supporting cast. They did not and Jones…
Pats signing Bourne to three-year deal makes important statement to the locker room
The Patriots remained busy just hours before the legal tampering period for free agency begins. On Sunday night, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reported that the team is re-signing Kendrick Bourne to a three-year, 19.5 million contract. Bourne can make a max of $33 million and he’ll get a $4.2 million signing bonus. Bourne confirmed the deal without actually confirming the deal himself on Twitter later in the night….
Pats trading Mac Jones after three rocky years in New England
Well, this was awkward. After a Pro Bowl rookie season (albeit as an alternate) that included a playoff appearance, Mac Jones was never the same quarterback in New England due to various circumstances and his relationships with coaches on staff and teammates ended up fractured. Now, he’s no longer a Patriot. The former first round pick is being traded to his hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 6th round…

Bentley coach Saj Thakkar talks recruiting
Recruiting can be a funny thing sometimes. Colleges tend to fall in love with a player that fits every physical category. Is the player 6-foot-2? Does he weigh 225 pounds? Does he run a 4.4-second 40-yard dash? Those are all valid questions, and at some places, if a player does not fit that bill, he won’t play. And, at the end of the day, there’s nothing wrong with those benchmarks…….
Former Bills and Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone to join the Boston College staff
Boston College coach Bill O’Brien announced this morning at the New England Coaches Clinic that former Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone will be joining the Eagles coaching staff. Marrone will be serving in a special projects, analysis role for the Eagles. Marrone and O’Brien are long time friends. They coached together at Georgia Tech in 1996 and Alabama in 2021. Marrone is no stranger to the……
Patriots Free Agency: Need No. 3: Wide Receiver
The Patriots have invested in the wide receiver position in recent years both in the draft and free agency. They have also traded for receivers like DeVante Parker. Unfortunately, none of the moves have really paid off. The Patriots signed free agent JuJu Smith-Schuster last off-season to replace Jakobi Meyers who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. The signing did not work out as Smith-Schuster had the worst season of…
