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.

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.

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) The Patriots defense delivered a performance for the ages last night thanks to a game plan for the ages. Bill Belichick and de facto defensive coordinator Brian Flores orchestrated one of the greatest defensive performances in Super Bowl history. Belichick and Flores shut down an offense that averaged 32.9 points per game and over 400 yards of offense per game. In many ways, it shouldn’t be…
