Players sometimes just hold out so they don't have to play in camp......

And I get that to a point. I still think that it can lead to some early season struggles for that player for a short list of reasons. And my guess is if the Bengals came to Chase right after Jefferson signed his deal and offered him the same deal he would have been there since June. I don't think him wanting to skip camp is why this hold out has taken place.

You may be right. I was speaking very generally.....

Patriots S Jabrill Peppers (hip) is active for Week 1’s matchup against the Bengals.
Peppers popped up on the injury report late in the week, but will suit up against the Bengals in Week 1. All four of the Patriots listed as questionable will be active including Peppers, RB Antonio Gibson, OT Vederian Lowe and LB Josh Uche.

Patriots declared WR Javon Baker, QB Joe Milton III (3rd QB), DT Eric Johnson II, LB Curtis Jacobs, OT Demontrey Jacobs, G Zach Thomas and G Sidy Sow inactive for Week 1’s matchup against the Bengals

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots plan to sit Drake Maye for “several weeks at least.”
Rapoport noted that the team wants to put Maye in a position to succeed and that includes making sure the offensive line can protect him. NFL history is littered with organizations who thought they could start their bridge quarterback for an extended period of time, only to immediately pull the rip cord and give their rookie a shot. Given Jacoby Brissett’s complete lack of mobility behind a line that will struggle to keep the pocket clean, the Patriots look like the next team traveling down that road. Maye’s cannon of an arm and ability to pick up yards on the ground could make him an instant QB2 once he takes over.

Time for Osborne to take a seat. one catch in 5 targets.

Brissett has to start looking for Pop or Thorton and stop going to Osborne.

Where the hell is Polk??

Alright, alright. I know, I know, don't count your chickens before their hatched.
