To a 3 year deal. BB is going crazy in FA. Plus they still have 10 picks. Exciting times in NE. Too bad one of the 10 isn't a 1st. But they do have 4 picks in the first 100.

What's your thoughts on McClellin? I've seen both positive and negative things on him? 2015 as the MLB he had his best year.

Honest question. Who the fuck is Shea McClellin?
I didn't know him either. A 1st round draft pick. Things I read he's smart and versatile. Had his best year last year when he played the MLB position. In his four years with Chi he played four different positions. Some say maybe that's what caused him to u erachieve in years 1-3?

Watched quite a few Bears games the last few years. Every time I've watched this guy has looked horrible Remember thinking it was a horrible draft pick at the time of the draft too, maybe BB can get something out of him.

Fortunately I don't that much is expected of him. i.e. it's up to him to make the team and the Patriots will plod along if he doesn't. I think they have greater hopes for people like Long and Bennet than this guy.

If I remember right he was an OLB in college made for a 3-4 and was drafted as a DE in the Bears 4-3. He didn't work out there so they moved him inside. Dealt with a few diff coaches in his 4 years there.

He doesn't really have a position in the 4-3. Patriots are taking on other team's busts so someone is likely to pan out but some of these guys are going to continue being busts.

Played 4-3 DE for his 1st 2 seasons. Then 4-3 OLB for a season. Then 3-4 ILB for a season. Good athlete, good size, no fit found in CHI.

that's why he was a bust in Chi. Not a good fit for them

Personally, I think he might be the best free agent signed by (NE) so far. He was mis-handled in Chicago and out of position. He should not have been signed in first round but he is coachable and athletic.....

Wow strong statement. I think Bennett is likely the best pick up. All the FAs BB picked up have unlimited potential. 4 of them were first rounders. So they have or had the raw talent at some point. NE just needs to un-tap that potential. Most exciting FA period I can remember. Not necessarily the best, time will tell? But certainley all kinds of unknown uncertainty for us fans. Go Pats. Can't wait for the draft. I wonder what BB has up his sleeve? Lots of depth at many positions this year. Having said that BB will trade away half his picks for future picks, hahaha. He always goes left whenwe think he's going to turn right?

I don't think he will be a bust at all in NE. Will he become a "super star?" No but far from a bust
