2014 Patriots Football

[DKClassic]

Rutgers kid (forgot his name but he looked good his rookie season)

Devin McCourty

[Smokeeye123]

Brandon Browner agrees with Patriots 3 years 17mil!!!

Our secondary is going to be a force.

Also we need to rename this 2014 or make a new thread

Love the Browner signing.

Pretty deep at corner.

Revis
Browner
Dennard
Arrington

Logan Ryan

[kozlodoev]

Yeah, saying "that Rudgers kid" isn't exactly narrowing the field when it comes to the Patriots

But he did mean Logan Ryan. Hopefully his good performance can be sustained. Both McCourty and Arrington had a good "flash in the pan" seasons early on they were never able to replicate.

[Donoghus]

Rapoport is reporting the Pats and Edelman have agreed to terms.

Awesome. Curious to see terms of deal

[Neurotic Guy]

Yes -- great news that Edelman will be returining.   

[PhoSita]

Pats have had a great off-season.  I'd love to see them add a pass-rusher and a veteran tight end before they finish up with free agency. 

Still, even if the only significant additions they make from here on out are through the draft, I'd say they are well set up for next year.

Even with edelman we still have $ to spend revis cap hit is only 7.5mil and browners is like 1-3mil this year

I didn't realize Browner's cap hit is low this year.  what does it go up to next season?

I agree with PhoSita that a pass rusher and TE are still important to add.  I'd be glad with a WR or a durable TE.  Also will need to find a tackle if Vince is released.

i dont know the specifics but everything ive heard is that its backloaded. We need a center too

Yes but we want to keep some room to extend existing players. Mccourty top of the list.
I think Pats are done w bigger name FAs. I think we will see Blount and Wendell resigned , and some vet min FA types at WR, OL (Svitek?), DE (Carter?) and Safety (Gregory?).

Doesn't make sense to sign Gregory back, not quite sure eating his 3 million cap hit gives you any savings. I suspect they're hoping to have Wilson contribute this season. Adrian, not Tavon.

[Smokeeye123]

We signed brandon lafell 3yrs 11mil i believe. Kenny britt in for a visit tomorrow. Db and Wr crazy so far.  I want to resign connolly and restructure vince than ill be a content fan. Vince has to realize hell make less if he doesnt restructure.

Man I hope I kept Lafell in my keeper league as an option. The guy oozes potential. I thought for sure he'd take Steve Smith's touches in Carolina. He'll be a favored deep target in NE. So talented.

[RebusRankin]

Lafell should be interesting. Does he reach his potential with Brady tossing him the ball?
