FA so far to wrap up:

Lost so far:

Bennett
Sheard
L. Ryan
Mingo
Vollmer

Retained:

Branch
Develin
Harmon


Added:

Gilmore - former 1st round pick
Dwayne Allen - former 3rd round pick
Ealy - former 2nd round pick
Cooks - former 1st round pick
Lawrence Guy - former 7th round pick

(Think i got just about everyone)

If we can re-sign hightower (blount too) i say we won the fuck out of free agency! If not, we still did pretty well lol.

Stephon Gilmore is good

But don't forget that Ryan has been our best tackler for a long time.

I like the Allen add, he's a better blocker than Bennett and I think he will get a lot done in NE.

I thought we overpaid a bit for Cooks tbh, but the more I think about it, the more I think "what player better than Cooks could we have grabbed @ 32"

Pls sum hightower

he's all I've ever wanted

All I want is Mayo Hightower


losing ryan is our biggest hit so far
we need to keep butler and hightower
AND WE NEED TO KEEP JIMMY G
unfortunately, i think the fact that we put ourselves in the position to have no 1st or 2nd round pick means we will be entertaining trading jimmy g :mad:
other than that, we would have to get a 1st, or early 2nd for butler for it to feel fair, and i seriously think 4 first round picks for the Gster is fair. schefter is going balls out on it, and i really agree. if you can get 4 1st round picks for a franchise quarterback, its worth it and you can either make it or break it... look at the value of a proven QB... favre>rodgers, montana>young, sanchez>geno>fitzy.. you cant beat it, brothas. i love our additions, we just need to maintain at the same time. not too early to look at a young kicker prospect for the ole 'stowski toe

Execs think Hightower is re-signing with the Pats.

Some said they "didn't bother" and others think he doesn't fit their scheme.

Titans seem to not want to meet his 10-13m value, we offered him 10+ last season he didn't take. I hope he takes it now lol.

you must not watch a lot of patriots games because if you did you would know Tom overthrows everyone the majority of time not underthrows, hopefully cooks can fix this. FYI Chris Hogan was 2nd in the league catching passes over 15 yards last year... Tommy was throwing him the ball...

why are you so focused on trying to keep Jimmy G? yeah it would be nice but his value is probably never going to be higher. Also you gotta think the dude wants to play sometime and not just hold a clipboard...

We are probably keeping butler this year barring a last minute draft day trade

Jets and Pats appear to be leading the pack to sign LB Dont'a Hightower but several others monitoring closely as well

Dont'a Hightower is scheduled to fly to Pittsburgh tonight. But storm also expected to hit New Jersey. So Mother Nature now figures into FA.

This makes sense. If someone else signs an offer sheet, would imagine the #Pats would take a 1

According to @MikeGiardi, Malcolm Butler is courting offers elsewhere, wants new home - #Patriots @PhilAPerry http://bit.ly/2mQWeMB

All that said, I was given a strong indication Butler prefers to be a "Patriot for life." He wants to make it work in New England.


interesting...
