The Patriots lost two key members of their Super Bowl LIII roster yesterday when offensive tackle Trent Brown signed with the Oakland Raiders and defensive end Trey Flowers signed with the Detroit Lions. Brown signed a 4 year, $66 million dollar deal while Flowers signed a 5 year $90 million dollar deal. Both got big time guaranteed money in their respective deals. There is no question that both players were…

Patriots: Breaking down the Michael Bennett acquisition and how the Patriots could use him

March 11, 2019
0 comment

The Patriots surprised the NFL on Friday when they traded for defensive end Michael Bennett. The Patriots acquired Bennett and a seventh round pick in 2020 for a fifth round pick. In return, the Patriots get two years of Bennett. It is a steal for New England because while Bennett might not be the elite pass rusher he once was, he is still effective and he can line up as…

Patriots: The Patriots should not overpay to keep Trey Flowers

The New England Patriots have a tough decision to make at the start of free agency on Monday. Do they re-sign defensive Trey Flowers or do they let him walk? The answer is simple. Let him walk. Bill Belichick has to resist the temptation and not over spend to keep Flowers. As valuable as he is, Flowers is also easily replaceable. I understand that it is tough to move on…

The Patriots have several key free agents this off-season and there is a good chance they may lose a couple of them, most notably Trey Flowers and Trent Brown who could both command big money on the open market. The combine will give Bill Belichick and his staff an opportunity to see some of the top talent in this upcoming draft workout and possibly fill some of the positions that……

The Patriots will have their eyes in all of the participants at this year’s combine but here are ten participants that will intrigue them because they are ideal scheme fits. 1. Ryan Finley, QB, N.C State: At 6-4 213, Finley has the size and the arm strength the Patriots look for in the quarterback position. 2.

Patriots: Rob Kraft’s reputation is going to take a hit regardless of whether or not he is charged

(Gregory Payan/AP) When news broke on Friday that Patriots owner Robert Kraft was being charged with soliciting prostitution at a spa in Jupiter, Florida, I was stunned. Like most people, several thoughts crossed my mind. Why would Robert Kraft visit an establishment like this? Why would a 77 year old billionaire want to ruin his reputation by getting caught up in something like this? None of it added up to…

Patriots: OBJ to the Patriots? I have a hard time believing they will pay the price to acquire him

The Patriots reportedly made an offer to the New York Giants last summer for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. I have a hard time believing that the Patriots would make the kind of offer it would take to land Beckham. That is not the way they operate as an organization. Sure, Bill Belichick traded for Brandin Cooks but as we saw, that didn’t work out. For all his faults, Beckham…

Fresh off their Super Bowl LIII win, the Patriots are basking in their glory. At least some of them are. Bill Belichick is not one of them. Belichick not only has to get ready for the combine, free agency and the draft, he also has to fill several openings on his coaching staff. New Dolphins head coach Brian Flores raided the Patriots staff and took with him three assistants. Receivers…

They developed a strong relationship when Schiano was the head coach Rutgers. Belichick’s son and current Patriots safeties coach Steve Belichick transferred his senior year and was a long…

The Patriots cemented themselves as one of the greatest franchises in sports history after beating the Rams to earn their 6th Super Bowl title in 17 years. The Patriots dynasty is pushing 20 years, which is unbelievable in this era of free agency and player movement. The Patriots have surpassed the Packers of the 1960’s, the Steelers of the 1970’s and the 49ers of the 1980’s as the greatest dynasty…
