There’s now like a 99.99% chance the Patriots are taking a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the draft. That became clearer on Monday night as the offense revamp continued with the singing of former Patriot Jacoby Brisket. Tom Pelissero reported that it’s a one-year, $8 million deal. Brissett could ultimately make up to $12 million with incentives. The stage is now set for the Pats to (most likely)…
Onwenu re-signing for three years as Pats continue taking care of their own
Now THIS is a big signing for New England. Ian Rapoport announced on Monday evening that Mike Onwenu is staying put as a cornerstone piece of the offensive line, signing a three-year deal worth $57 million ($19 million per year) and $38 million guaranteed.

Patriots Free Agency: Need No. 1: Quarterback

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.

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…
