Hope they didn’t over pay too much. I’m glad he’s a Patriot for awhile.

4yrs for $58M is what I saw.

The Patriots just extended one of their best players. Full details here.

4yrs for $58M is what I saw.

Could be $66M with $32.5M guaranteed.

Basically, $14,5M a year with incentives met, he could make $16.5 per.

I would guess that some incentives will be easy and others will be tough. The makeable average is most likely $15.5M.

HOLY SHIT RUMOR!!!!!!!!

According to Albert Breer of the Athletic...............................

Sources have told him that the Raiders have jumped into the fray for the #3.

Unconfirmed sources have said that the Raiders are dangling #13, #77(3rd) and All Pro DE Max Crosby for the #3.

As I stated, he said that he could not confirm anything. Raiders want any of the top three QBs.

THOUGHTS?????????????????????????????????

No thanks. We need a franchise QB more than anybody. Would be weird to be in a position to take one and then trade it away.

Unless they don't believe any of them are "franchise".

Then it would just be wasted.

Interesting...

I love Troy. I just don't think he was the right man for the job.
Being able to do and being able to teach are often times exclusive.

But not always.

All time great Patriot. So many awesome memories. Making a pick on D and then going back in the next series on O was awesome. That return for a TD against PITT stands out as well.

But not sure about his coaching chops quite yet.

I wonder what his advisor fees will be?

Will this turn in to a full time coaching position, or did he only take an advisor role so as to reduce his time involved?

New role allows Matthew Slater to ‘stay engaged’ after retirement

Slater will remain around the team as an "advisor," according to safety Jabrill Peppers.

For a lot of retired players, an advisor role gives them a chance to see what really goes on for a coach and provides them with some real responsibilities dealing with players from "the other side". Can't be 100% sympathetic when your job is on the line, have to be a bit more pragmatic.

Obviously it's no guarantee but I'd imagine he'd be a fantastic ST coach. He'd likely be a great "anything" coach as all of his former teammates talk about his leadership abilities.

Not sure how Mayo is going to pan out but it's kinda cool that he's recruiting a few former teammates as coaches that bought into Bill's program.

While I fully concur and feel Slater is one of those that could accel at almost anything, being a good leader does not always mean being a good teacher.

Also could give great tips on how to stay in good physical condition and last 16 years in the NFL.

So hire him as a leader?

How's this ??????????????????

Chargers give the Patriots #5 and Justin Herbert for #3.

Would you prefer that the Patriots use the #5 for Alt or a WR????????

Just read an article that said that Alt looks like he was built in a Left Tackle factory similar to Shelby's Mustang factory.

Why would the Chargers do this???? Dumbest trade I’ve seen yet.

Maybe the Chiefs will trade Mahomes and the 32nd pick for #3?

I cannot see the Bolts doing this. Herbert is really good, they know what they have

OK, I'll play along. Because I don't think there is a chance of this happening.

Do the deal tomorrow.

Then sign Higgins or Aiyuk.

After that go WR with the next pick and this offense did a 180.

Hopefully get Nix or Penix.

We draft McCarthy and trade Herbert for two other firsts....
