Patriots Off-Season News

[Goldstar88]

I was hoping the Pats would have made a run at Tyler Boyd, but he just signed a 1 year deal with the Titans for $4.5M. NE couldn’t have offered him $6-7M? He’s a solid WR… Do players not want to come to here or is Kraft just unwilling to spend?

Idk, but the fact that it took him this long to sign and for that money makes me think there was something teams didn't want. 30 other teams passed on him too.

NE's WR group is a bit crowded. Granted, a few of them should gladly take a hike (like JuJu, Thornton, etc.), but yeah I would have loved Boyd. Tbh I wonder if they look at Osborn the same way and think he'd be redundant.

As for a potential FA target, I would still love to reunite with Stephon Gilmore. He's still available, and can function as a great #2 alongside Gonzalez and veteran presence for the younger guys. The team does still need some depth at CB, like last year they are a Gonzalez and/or Jonathan Jones injury away from having to rely on rookies or mediocre depth pieces.

Sounds like Boyd was holding out for more money and it backfired on him. Not many teams have much left at this point, but the Pats do… I think he’s quite a bit better than Osborn and has good size at 6’2” as well. KJ is only 5’11”. Tyler has also had multiple 1000 yard seasons. He would have been the best WR on the Pats.

------------------------------------

Ooof, that's a brutal start lol. Got Cincy and Seattle, and then Aaron Rodgers, Superbowl runner-ups, Tua's Dolphins, CJ Stroud Texans, the revenge of Mac Jones Jaguars in London, and Aaron Rodgers again.

Probably a 1-7 start?

The Ravens have 3 days off for a game and that is after a short week the game before.  That seems like an issue.  They are at the Giants on December 15, then host the Steelers December 21, and then play at Houston on December 25.  They then don't play the Browns until January 5 and before that stretch have their bye and 2 weeks off.   The Texans are at KC on December 21 (and host Miami on December 15) before the Christmas game so the Ravens aren't at a disadvantage to the Texans, but those Wednesday Christmas games seem problematic.  Seems like a good way for teams to get injured with so little time off.
