Teams around the league, specifically the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers have been busy the past week moving money around in an effort to create cap space. Luckily, the Patriots are not in the same boat as those two teams. According to our good friend Miguel Benzan at @patscap, the Patriots currently have $4.896,056 in cap space. That is not a lot. The cap is expected to reach…
The window to place the franchise tag on unrestricted free agents opened yesterday. Teams have until March 8th to place the franchise tag on any of their unrestricted free agents. Once a team tags a player, the player can either chose to sign the franchise tag or refuse to sign it. If they sign it, they return to the club for one year and earn an average salary of the…
Speculation has been rampant recently that former Patriots defensive coordinator and Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia would become the Patriots primary offensive play caller in 2022. Now before you get up, walk over to your bathroom and vomit, you might want to know that Patricia does have some “offensive experience” with the Patriots. He served as an offensive assistant in 2004 and as the assistant offensive line coach to…
The Patriots coaching staff has been hit hard by defections this off-season. It started with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels taking the head job with the Las Vegas Raiders two weeks. Since then, McDaniels has poached assistant quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree, wide receivers coach Mick Lombardi and offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo. Hardegree will coach the quarterbacks, Lombardi was named offensive coordinator and Bricillo will coach the offensive line. McDaniels will…
On Thursday night, news broke that former Patriots and Raiders defensive lineman Richard Seymour was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2022 class. It is a well-deserved honor for the highest player Bill Belichick drafted as Patriots head coach. Seymour was a monster on the defensive line and a key piece of three Super Bowl Championship teams. Seymour was drafted sixth overall in 2001 and immediately became a…
In the words of Bill Goldberg: who’s next? Ty Law was the first true Patriot from the dynasty to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and on Thursday night Richard Seymour became the second Patriot from the early years to earn that honor. Of course, Randy Moss is already in, but he’ll forever be remembered as a Viking more than a Patriot despite the historic 2007 season….
Photo: @ProFootballHOF Decades from now, you won’t be able to tell the history of the Patriots dynasty without mentioning that Richard Seymour is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One of the pillars of the early championships, Seymour was finally named a Hall of Famer at the NFL Honors on Thursday night in Los Angeles. Big No. 93 will be going in with Leroy Butler, Tony Boselli, Dick Vermeil,…
After a two year stint as the head football coach of the New York Giants, Joe Judge is back. The Patriots announced today that they have hired Judge as an offensive assistant. So what does this mean? It means Judge is back and that he will coach on the offensive side of the ball but his role is undetermined. Speculation is rampant that Judge will call the offense but not…
I have often said that Bill Belichick is the Tom Landry of this generation. Landry believed that he can win with any player because of his system. Belichick believes the same thing. The proof is in the pudding as he has only only had two losing seasons in 22 years. It was why in many ways, it does not matter who the Patriots hire as their next offensive coordinator. That…
The 73rd Reese Senior Bowl will take place this afternoon in Mobile, Alabama. The entire football world has descended upon South Alabama University to watch some of the top college prospects in football compete in front of coaches, scouts, general managers and talent evaluators. The Patriots have been in Mobile all week evaluating talent and they will be keeping a close eye on some of the talent playing in today’s……
