A lot of this speculation is just media types expressing what they feel team needs are and might fit the bill. Aren't we in the tampering window? If so and the Pats are inquiring about players isnt that tampering? I suspect the Pats will do their due diligence about any player of interest but two first round picks for Debo is fucking insane

Teams can talk to other teams about a player. Since this is only a rumor, we can't say that anybody talked to a player.

Reporters are trying to turn "due diligence" into a writable rumor.....

He got a text from "...an NFL Talent Evaluator".

Could have been anybody.
I am, in fact, an NFL talent evaluator.
I'm not a very good one and I don't get paid that much to be one..or at all...but none the less, I am an NFL Talent Evaluator.

So now all rumors must be 100% true and verified as true before they are posted?? Good Luck.

Might as well close this thread.

Rumors are just that.. RUMORS. Post all the rumors you want on this thread… it’s what it is here for. But don’t take it personal when someone says that rumor seems like a pile of shit. You’ve posted 8 rumors in this thread. Not a single one is or was even close to being accurate or became true.

As Chuck said. This is the place for rumors. I'm not going to buy into many of them. Nothing personal.....

The majority of rumors are based on some semblance of truth.

Just because the Pats do not sign a player that is mentioned in a rumor does not mean they didn't do any research.

If the Pats are not talking with agents, head coaches and general managers about trading their own players or acquiring other players they will never improve.
If agents, head coaches and GM's are not talking to other teams they will never get the best bang for their client or team.

To be accurate this thread should be "NE Patriots Rumors, Rumors of Rumors and Pure Bullshit Rumors 2023"

If you said that 20 years ago I'd be inclined to agree. Now though, I truly believe sports "journalists" create rumors out of thin air just to sell ads during the offseason.

Mac trade rumors are heating up.

Per 98.5 FM The Sports Hub 2/22/2023

Quote an unnamed NFL GM. "The offensive screw up in New England has put Bill Belichick completely behind the eight ball in regards to whether or not the Patriots will pick up his fifth year option. Every team knoiws at the end of the second year whether or not they will do it. The option must be picked up at the end of the third year. If Bill doesn't see a huge improvement by Jones this year, will he risk a $35M paycheck for a fifth year? Mac may be on his way out of New England."

Is Bill giving consideration to JG or possibly handing the reins to Zappe to see if he can do it for 17 games and not just two?

Colts? Raiders?

Would you trade him straight up for Kyler Murray??
