Middle of the pack though... It's not like he's terrible man. It was just an off season. He'll miss 2 all year next year.

yeah i'm not worried about Gostkowski at all yet, a lot of kickers, good ones too, struggled this year (except for Tucker lol)

I keep hearing that Hightower is most likely gone

that would fucking blow

where are you hearing this though? i've haven't anything on the subject

without Hightower, we very well could be 0-2 in these last two super bowls (SB 49 TD-saving tackle on Marshawn Lynch before "the interception", SB 51 strip sack force fumble)

nah

I'd be confused and distraught if we didn't resign him.

Hightower is incredibly important to our team

98.5 and Comcast sports New England

They mentioned it about 5 times this past week

hightower is "excited for his next contract" but who knows the context of that. when that came out the other day it seemed a little odd in the way it was worded. i think hightower is extremely important as well. i also think logan ryan has finally pulled it all together. great performance as of late.

I think Hightower is one of the three most important pieces on this defense right now, along with McCourty & Butler (just my opinion), would suck to see him go...

id put ninkovich up there too.

how would you rank our receivers for depth chart next year?

edelman
hogan
dola
MM
floyd if he makes it

our TE situation is interesting too. earlier this season we said bennett is a top priority, but look at his recent comments about super bowl winners being overpaid. he seemed to have fun here but maybe he will revis his way outta here with the ring. his situation probably has a major influence on gronks status as well

I don't even know whose actually good on our defense anymore after trading Jamie Collins, I won't question any Belichick move anymore I promise after that.
