2019 Patriots' News

[YankeeRebel]

I'm going home sick right now... The goddamn hangnail on my pinky keeps hitting the tab key on my keyboard.

Six weeks for sure

 

[BigKen]

Spit on it, rub some dirt on it and get your ass back on the field. It ain't an achilles or an ACL.

 

[PatsFan2003]

He was starter and a backup. I think he'll be fine.

Sold! Do you know why he was available?

 

[Southieinnc]

Cut the fucker off, bandage him up, and send him back onto the field and have him walk it off.

You really are loopy!

 

[BigKen]

Sold! Do you know why he was available?

Like any player, they got the right price from BB. That, and he wasn't going to start and may have been the third option. Needs to improve his foot speed and I'm sure Scar will work on that with him.

The Patriots worked out several players ahead of their game against the Dolphins, a source tells Nick Underhill of The Athletic (Twitter link). OT Caleb Benenoch, NT Carl Davis, DT Willie Henry, DB Josh Jones and DB Adarius Pickett worked out for New England.

Time to draft a new LT.

Wait until end of season to decide. Should the sox cut Mookie for his turf toe too?

I don't think it's a matter of cutting him, but I feel if there is a good LT based on injury history drafting an LT makes sense. I feel we may need to draft a QB this year too.

Not impressed with Stidham? Still some time until Jack or Benny are ready.

I just think at some point TB will retire it would be nice to have more than one experienced QB in the system.

Rumors circulating that the Patriots are talking to the Redskins about Trent Williams. Earlier, the 'Skins were looking for a first rounddraft pick but No way that BB pays that for anyone, even Jalen Ramsey. I certainly don't have any idea how BB could fit his salary into the Patriots' structure.

The 49ers and Patriots need tackles, and the Redskins should trade Trent Williams
By JP Finlay September 16, 2019 1:40 PM


Trent Williams does not want to play for the Redskins. If he did, he'd be playing for them.

It's time for all parties to stop the charade that Williams might come back to Ashburn and everything will be water under the bridge.

In fact, it's time to trade Trent Williams.

On Sunday, the 49ers and the Patriots suffered injuries to their left tackles. In San Francisco, Joe Staley broke his leg and will miss a few months if not the rest of the season. The Niners are sitting at 2-0 and look to have their best chance at making the playoffs in the three seasons under Kyle Shanahan's watch. Losing Staley will hurt those chances.

Sure, there's plenty of bad blood between Shanahan and the Redskins organization. The San Francisco coach believes the Redskins did him and his father wrong during their ugly divorce in 2013, when the organization chose Robert Griffin III over the coaching staff.

Know what? Who cares. This is professional football and the front office needs to do what's best long-term for the Redskins, not hold a team back due to petty squabbles from nearly a decade ago.

If San Francisco wants Trent, and makes a reasonable offer, Washington needs to listen.

New England has already inquired about Trent. That happened. There was no real conversation about a trade then, but that doesn't mean there can't be now.

Other teams will have injuries, and other teams certainly have needs on the offensive line.

The Redskins appear to be taking a stand, refusing to bow to Williams' demands and waiting for his return. ESPN reported that could happen this week as Williams is racking up millions in fines. It's also worth pointing out that potential trade partners could be scared off if Williams is working behind the scenes in demand of a new contract.

At some point, however, the organization is cutting off their nose to spite their face. Trent doesn't want to be here. It's obvious. If he wanted to be in Washington, he would be in Washington.

There is another angle to this, now, after an 0-2 start that didn't apply in August or July or any earlier point in Williams' holdout. Earlier in the year, the Redskins had hope of delivering some strong on-field performances and proving they're not a team in the middle of a rebuild.

At 0-2 and with a defense giving up 31.5 points-per-game, it's extremely unlikely the 2019 Redskins season ends in a playoff game. Nearly 90 percent of teams that open 0-2 don't make the playoffs.

It's time for honesty in the Trent Williams situation. He wants out. Teams could use him, multiple teams, and it stands to reason the Redskins could recoup at least a first-round pick if they move Williams.

Going into 2020, Washington will be looking at Dwayne Haskins at quarterback and there could be a significant amount of salary cap space to maneuver in Washington. Wouldn't an additional first-round pick help the team more in the long run? Consider, too, that even if Williams returns in 2019, he's unlikely to be happy about his contract or whatever else is on his mind in 2020. Does Washington really want to elongate this drama and deal with it all of next season?

Trent Williams wants out. Teams need him. Make the deal.

This would be a good signing. The Chiefs are supposedly giving up a first and third for Ramsey which IMO is a lot but it makes the secondary a lot better.

Anyone who wants to compete in the AFC better be doing their best to field a stout defense. The Pats have really thrown down the gauntlet there. So far 3 measly points compared to over 20 for the next best team.

I know it's two games but less than a safety per game?

Brandon Cooks says “hi!!” Not only a 1st but a 3rd too.

[patspa]

They should have worked on a Williams deal alot harder then signing AB. Bigger position of need.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

If they could work out a decent contract for him I'd pull the plug. Chances of finding his talent late in the draft is a crap shoot. NE has one maybe two more years of being all in. Protecting TB is a must in the qwest for 7
