After Tuesday’s trade to acquire tackle Trent Brown, the Patriots may not be done. Something tells me there could be some other deals in the works. On the surface, one would think a team flushed with as much cap space as the Patriots would retool their roster through free agency and the draft. However given the current cap situation that some teams are in, trades may actually be the best…
Jaycee Horn knows his way around an NFL locker room. The son of former NFL receiver Joe Horn has been wanting to follow in his dad’s footsteps since he was a little boy. Now, he will get the opportunity to make a name for himself. As a true freshman at South Carolina in 2018, Horn started 10 of 11 games and had 45 tackles with 2 sacks and was named……
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported yesterday that linebacker Dont’a Hightower, safety Patrick Chung and offensive tackle Marcus Cannon all plan on playing in 2021. From NFL Now: The #Patriots are getting the band back together, with key opt-outs opting back in… Meanwhile, it's far more uncertain for WR Julian Edelman. pic.twitter.com/Uu2dXjTznU — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 26, 2021 On the surface, that is great news as the Patriots clearly missed…
Cam Newton and Bill Belichick have a great deal of respect for each other. How do I know? Cam Newton said so. Appearing on the I Am An Athlete Podcast last weekend, Newton told a panel of former players including Fred Taylor and Chad Ocho Cinco (whom both played for the Patriots) that Bill Belichick is the most misunderstood guy in the NFL. Newton referred to Belichick as a “cool…
Many Patriots pundits and fans alike have speculated that Bill Belichick does not value the quarterback position. I am not sure I would go that far. I think he does but there is a pattern of addressing the position in his history which could shed some light into how he will address the position this off-season. Here are three observations I have made about Belichick and how he addresses the……
Image courtesy of the New England Patriots Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl last night was a bad look for the Patriots from a P.R standpoint. Sure, the organization tweeted out congratulating Brady and Rob Gronkowski but make no mistake about it. The Patriots have egg on their face after letting Brady walk last spring. Truth be told, no one thought the Buccaneers would win the Super Bowl in Brady’s…
He may not want anything to do with him, but Bill Belichick should be thanking Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this morning. Todd Bowles, Byron Leftwich Bruce Arians and Tom Brady saved a little piece of Belichick’s legacy with their somewhat stunning 31-9 Super Bowl LV win on Sunday night. By embarrassing Andy Reid and the Chiefs in the manner in which they did, any talk of the…
Former Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola referred to former Patriots quarterback and teammate Tom Brady as the driving force behind the “Patriot Way.” "When you see the 'Patriot Way' in the dictionary, it’s got Tom Brady’s picture next to it. None of those coaches caught any passes. … Tom Brady is the 'Patriot Way.' That’s why he’s in the Super Bowl & the Patriots aren’t." — @DannyAmendola pic.twitter.com/XtVd0ntJPc — First…
It’s hard to believe we’re at this point. It’s been just under 11 months since Tom Brady decided he couldn’t deal with Bill Belichick anymore and took his talents to Tampa Bay. What’s transpired in those 11 months – outside of the real would – is mind blowing. When Brady sat down for his virtual media day session on Monday, the next hour or so felt like he was back…
Brandon Todd/ Carolina Panthers The NFL will descend upon Mobile, Alabama this week for the annual Senior Bowl. It is an opportunity for all 32 teams to get one more look at some of the top players in the country in pads. For the Patriots, this Senior Bowl is vitally important. Coming off a 7-9 season, this is an important off-season for Bill Belichick and his staff. So, what positions……
