NFL...Not Patriots News

[NWPATSFAN]

So this is where teams need to consider. What other positions of need to we have. The Pats don't need to consider paying #1 CB prices, if they are going to do that they should offer Gonzo a legit contract extension and draft a #2

Agree, same goes for those diva WR contracts. Just stay away. I can see overpaying for Cam Robinson or Moore. LTs are just hard to find.

Panthers extend cornerback Jaycee Horn

Agreed.

I am okay with giving Mike Godwin a call, curious to see what his numbers might be

What do you think it would cost? Also, would he even be willing to come to NE?

Better yet, what do you think NE should max out at? We all know we have to overpay for top FAs. Would you go 21M per year for 3 years with a big guarantee? I think I would.

Yeah that sounds like something I would do but we all know the Patriots wouldn't

There were rumors he may be asking in the neighborhood of 30M.

Not worth it

 

[BigKen]

Metcalf to Pittsburgh and Davante Adams to the LA Rams.

Trade for Kupp?
Trade for Meyers??

Trade for a Genisis GV70??

Brah I have no idea and no answer to either question. I suspect he would at least consider the offer, but I don't truly know

Would you do 25? The tag for him is 26 I believe.

There were rumors he may be asking in the neighborhood of 30M.

Regardless of 'we' think, the reality is that the market for a #1 WR is now set at roughly $30M.

Then you must consider the negatives involved. Weather and Massachusetts. Finally, the competition which the Patriots will be up against.
If someone else is offering $21M in a warmer climate with a better team, The Patriots will not get considered offering $22M or $23M.
They'll have to step up and offer somewhere between $25M and $28M. If they aren't willing to step it up, then just stay home. But don't bitch about the price because you don't want to pay it. It's the difference between buy a manual lawn mower or a self drivn power driven one. They both cut the grass, but one is much better than the other. All depends on your point of view.

Welp that isn't an option now

Buccs just signed him to a 3 year deal

Chris Godwin returns to the Buccaneers

Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Chris Godwin has agreed to terms to return to the Buccaneers. It’s a three-year, $66 million deal with a chance to push the $22 million APY to $24 million.

You also have to factor in the length, guarantee and any incentives. I'm a huge proponent of incentive based contracts. However, players and agents are not. Understandable if they feel he may not live up to expectations.

Well at least we would've been in the ballpark. Could've had him at least thinking about it. Onwards and upwards. Next

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Since we were talking about real centers.

C Drew Dalman to the Bears for 3y/42m

 

[Southieinnc]

Panthers just gave Jaycee Horn a 4 yr $100M contract. Most for a CB ever. The price of playing in the FA pool just went up again.

Not an automatic reset of market.
Panthers = Browns - teams shake their heads.....

 

[Southieinnc]

Metcalf to Pittsburgh and Davante Adams to the LA Rams.

Trade for Kupp?

Trade for a Genisis GV70??

You'd have to consider bringing Jakobi back.
Imagine what he could do with a real QB. He has never had one!
