2023 Free Agency and Trades

[BigKen]

Chicago Bears have tpld all teams that their Number one pick is available for the right price.

The scramble has begun.

The Athletic's Chad Graff writes New England's top trade options at wideout at this point are "probably" DeAndre Hopkins and Brandin Cooks.​

Graff writes this in a piece that rules out several other options including Keenan Allen and throws water on the idea of the Patriots selecting a wideout early in the draft. "The guess here is that the price tag would be a second-round pick for Hopkins and a third-round pick for Cooks," Graff adds. These are definitely the top two wideouts readily available on the trade market, though we imagine a Bill O'Brien-DeAndre Hopkins reunion would have some interesting hurdles to work through.

What I'm hearing about the Patriots' plans for free agency and the draft

We posit a guess as to why Bill Belichick skipped the scouting combine and why the Patriots might look to trade for a wide receiver.

What /who would we take if we were foolish enough to trade for the #1?

I'm not mortgaging the farm to move up in this draft. We don't need a QB, and they're not sure fire hits anyway. The #1 defender just jumped on his dick with ice skates. I really like sitting at 14. Maybe even move down a couple spots depending how the board unfolds.

My take is this. There is reasonable depth at WR, CB the greatest positions of need IMO. I have said this before if one of the top 4 OTs are at 14 take him.

Skoronski
Johnson
Jones
Harrison

I like Jones I feel he has the most upside and room to grow

I believe this will be Duggers final year under contract. Would you rather extend him? I’m sure he will demand quite a bit. Try to sign Bates? If we could afford both…. Heck yeah.

I love Duggar. He is an opportunistic player.
His coverage skills are above average.
Above average should not command a huge contract!

NFL Network is bored.

Starting Friday night they're going to start a new program.
