Bill Belichick’s job as head coach of the New England Patriots is on the line this weekend. That’s right, I said it. Now, before all the keyboard warriors who only read a title or first few sentences jump down my throat, I’m not saying Bill Belichick should currently be fired, relax. What I am saying, however, is that if Bill Belichick the GM doesn’t help out Bill Belichick the coach…
According to sources, the Patriots have the frameworks of deal in place with the Carolina Panthers. Carolina picks eighth and there is a prevailing thought around the league that either Justin Fields or Mac Jones are going to be available at that pick. There are several teams that appear willing to trade into the top ten, most notably the Bears, Washington Football Team and the Saints. The Patriots have an……
The 49ers and Dolphins trade yesterday illustrated just how expensive it is going to be for the Patriots to trade into the top ten if they want to draft one of the top four quarterbacks in this year’s class. With the 49ers trading up, one has to assume that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is now available in a trade. San Francisco quickly squelched that notion by saying they intend to hold…

Chung was a second round pick out of Oregon in 2009. The same draft class that produced Sebastian Vollmer and Julian Edelman. The Patriots traded out of the first round that year and ended up drafting 14 players. Chung was the first player picked. Upon arriving in New…
Trey Lance is the most intriguing prospect in this draft. At any position. He has the size (6-4 230), the athleticism and arm strength necessary to become a pro bowl quarterback in the NFL. The only two issues with Lance are his lack of experience and the competition he has faced. If a team is willing to draft him and sit him, it is not a stretch to think that……
“F**k it, I’m back in.” That was my buddy Mike’s reaction in a group text at about 8 P.M. on Thursday night after Cam Newton put up another Instagram post of himself following a workout. It was probably the same reaction many Patriots fans had, the fans that refuse to believe this team can be as bad as it was last year. These videos are nothing new, as Cam has been…
AP PHOTO The Patriots have spent more than $230 million dollars in contracts so far in free agency. New England’s shopping spending spree would be shocking no matter what NFL team we are talking about let alone them. The shopping spree is truly out of character for Bill Belichick when you examine his tenure in New England. Upon closer look at all the contracts that were handed out, there was…
Bill Belichick is a changed man. A 7-9 season will do that to you I guess. Gone are the days where the Patriots are shopping for deals. As of today, those days are over in New England. The Patriots are big spenders now. Armed with over $60 million dollars in cap space, Belichick splurged and in the process landed some of the top names on the free agent market. Belichick…
I am not going to sit here and pretend that re-signing Cam Newton was a smart move and that I trust Bill Belichick. In fact, I am going to take the opposing view and say that re-signing Newton is a bad move. I don’t think I need elaborate on that point. We all saw clear as day last season why bringing Newton back is a bad move. What I will…
If Patriots fans thought 2020 was bad, 2021 hasn’t been much better. After suffering through a 7-9 year where Tom Brady won another Super Bowl with another franchise, Patriots fans were hoping that free agency and the draft would provide new hope for a quicker rebuild. Instead, just days before the one year anniversary of Brady’s decision to leave, Bill Belichick twisted the knife a little more early Friday morning…
