NE Patriots Rumors and Rumors of Rumors 2023

[cheerupcharlie]

So if this occurs where do you all go at 14?

I think I still got OT or WR. A future LT would be huge then in round three grab an IOL on the right side.,

OT… WR…. DB… whomever is the best available player of the 3 positions. All 3 are equally important I feel.

 

[Southieinnc]

If BB lands Hopkins and McGlinchey, loses Jakobi and Wynn would consider this a win?

Mostly.
I'd hate losing Jakobi but Hopkins would be a replacement.
Losing Wynn would be winning 5 out of six on a pick-six.....

I agree with @cheerupcharlie depends on how the board unfolds especially now that DMac is hanging them up. Go best available OT or DB. WR still further down on my list.

 

[BigKen]

Hopkins is indicating, not saying that he'll be a Patriiot.

Rumor is that Buffalo is looking to get him.

Rumor..........................Patriots will go hard for Jordan Pryor to replace McCourty. That will certainly hurt the Bills.

I would still do one of the top OT available or the Georgia TE. Or one of the top CB's, even though I still like Ringo and think he is a 2nd.
Not WR...

Fact. Not Rumor.

Today. Friday. March 10,2023.

Patriots along with other NFL team representatives, including medical people will be in Arizona.

Why?

Odell Beckham Jr. will be holding his own open workout day for teams to see.

ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio reports Odell Beckham Jr. is seeking wants to earn $20 million per year on his next contract.​

You won't find many people arguing about how nice it would be to make $20 million a year. Of course, you also won't find many who are worth that annual salary -- OBJ included. Beckham earning $20 million in 2023 would make him among the 10 highest-paid receivers next season, which feels a bit excessive for a 30-year-old receiver who is on his way back from a torn ACL, and who missed all of last season. Beckham recently held a workout in front of 13 NFL teams and should have a market in the coming days. However, it's unlikely he fetches anything close to the pay day he's seeking at this point. Perhaps an incentive laden contract helps him get closer to that number, but teams are unlikely to shell out top dollar for his services at this point in time.

I’d rather have Hopkins. Not sure what his price would be though.

If OBJ gets 20 mil a year there is something wrong with the NFL. 11 mil plus incentives is the max I would offer

I'd offer him a date with the kicking net!

Rams have traded Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins

We need Washington and Kuntz.

So I guess BB had no interest in McGlinchey? I mean if he could ink a deal with the Donks he could have inked a deal with the Pats. Funny to me how these deals get done and FA is not open

Nobody is going to complain - unless it's the Patriots!

Looks like it was 5 years 88 mil 50 mil guarenteed, BB would not pay that IMO

That is 2.6 million over his projected value of 14.9 million/year

Yep just drove the market up for others

Denver needed a tackle worse than we do.....

 

[YankeeRebel]

Yeah but it still drove the market up. I still have to question if our O Line was bad last year in part to new scheme and no real position coach. Maybe that is wishful thinking. I know we need to draft at least one OT and maybe another IOL or OT.

 

[BigKen]

Chiefs sign OT Jawaan Taylor.

Markets already thinning out and it's been open for just 16 hours.
