NFL free agency kicks off next week and we will plenty of coverage in the coming days. There has a lot of movement already, specifically with the quarterback market. The Patriots obviously don’t need a quarterback but they have several other holes to fill. Bill Belichick will not be the big spender he was last off-season but he will kick the tires on some veterans in either free agency or…
James White, a three-time Super Bowl champion and Patriot since 2014, is going to be a free agent in just over a week for the second year in a row. Like last year, the Patriots should bring him back into the fold for 2022 to bolster their already strong running back group. White, 30, played in only three games in 2021 before suffering a hip injury that ended his season….
According to a story by the Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian today, Julian Edelman is not expected to play the entire 2021 season. Edelman’s troublesome knee injury is expected to keep him sidelined for part of next season. How long before Edelman returns is anyone’s guess but it sounds like he is going to miss the start of the season. With the Patriots already thin at receiver, not having Edelman is…
He’s back! Center David Andrew’s re-signed with the Patriots tonight. Andrews signed a four year deal with the team but financial terms were not released. Andrews had been linked to other teams most notably the Falcons (He’s from Georgia) Packers and Dolphins. In the end, Andrews more than likely took less money to stay in New England. He loves it here and this is where he wanted to be all…
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…
The Patriots beat the Jets 28-14 in the season finally to finish the season 7-9. It was the Patriots first losing season since 2000. As soon as the final whistle blew, the focus shifted to the off-season and the massive rebuild that awaits Bill Belichick. How Belichick goes about turning around the fortunes of this once proud franchise will be focus of around these parts for the next six months….
Yesterday’s 22-12 loss to the Miami Dolphins effectively ended the Patriots season as they were eliminated from playoff contention. Look on the bright side. At least we don’t have to listen to talk about a “path” anymore. With the loss, the Patriots will now play out the proverbial string against the Bills and the Jets. For the first time in 11 years and only the second time in the last…
