By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj Cam Newton should be a New England Patriot if and when the 2020 NFL season kicks off. That’s right, I want “Superman” to take over for Brady and mentor Stidham. Before anyone jumps down my throat about the money, I know the Pats probably can’t afford him, but what if Bill decided to try? I also acknowledge that Cam’s personality – which if we’re being fair…
Tom Brady’s long awaited interview with Howard Stern took place yesterday morning. After an hour plus of chatting it up with Stern, we learned that Brady has tried weed, swears, pisses off Giselle and knew that last season was his last with the Patriots. There were six things that Brady shared that I want to talk about. Here they are. 1. Brady knew 2019 was his last season in New…

Rumors have been circulating on social media the past few days of a possible Patriots, Detroit Lions pre-draft trade. The first deal involves the Patriots trading the 23rd pick, guard Joe Thuney and the 87th pick (3rd Round) in exchange for the 3rd overall pick.

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj Could Jarret Stidham make the playoffs his first full year as a starter? We have no way of knowing how good he is until he’s actually under center and all eyes are on him as the new leader, but the NFL sure made it a much more realistic possibility for the second-year QB out of Auburn with the adoption of a new playoff format Monday afternoon….
With the NFL Draft less than a month away, we will now shift gears and begin focusing on the players that are available and how the Patriots can improve their roster. The Patriots have been limited in free agency due in large part to their salary cap situation but they could address several needs in the draft, most notably tight end and linebacker.

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj Tom Brady is officially a Tampa Bay Buccaneer following his introductory conference call on Tuesday afternoon. However, Brady sounded more like a child who was being sent away to boarding school immediately regretting his decisions rather than a free agent eager to take on a new challenge. Brady – as he’s done his whole career – took the high road during the call, refusing to truly…
The Patriots released long time kicker Stephen Gostkowski today. Gostkowski was scheduled to make $3.5 million in base salary this season. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 draft, Gostkowski is the all time team leader in field goals made, extra points made, field goals from 50+ yards and field goals from 40+ yards. Gostkowski struggled through a hip injury last season. He was the second longest tenured player…
By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj If it’s a full blown rebuild that Bill Belichick wants on offense, then there’s one guy still left on the roster that shouldn’t be if and when the NFL begins its season. Now that Tom Brady and Stephen Gostkowski – the longest tenured Patriots remaining, an honor that now belongs to Matt Slater – have departed, there is a seemingly clear emphasis on turning the page,…

The Patriots released Hoyer last pre-season after he failed to beat out rookie Jarrett Stidham for the back up job. According to reports yesterday, Hoyer decided to re-sign with the Patriots for a second time because he was told he would have an opportunity to start….
