Holy f***! I did not see that coming.

 

[Tuggy]

Wow...did not see that coming after Smith.

But if they can't get one of the top WR, then this works!

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Nice, BB time to find a solid WR now!!

Bill and Josh bringing back serious 2 TE sets

Need Cam Newton to be much better than last season or it's not going to matter who they got at the skill positions.

Let's see what Hoodie can do with him now that he has a full off-season to work together.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

TE went from puke-worthy to world-class in less than 24h!

Man, if only we can get a competent QB...

I still think Pats goes after Mac Jones at the draft.

I still think Pats goes after Mac Jones at the draft.

That's who I've been thinking as well.

Just wonder if he'll be there at 15. I've seen him go in many different places in many mock drafts.

Maybe the Pats trade up to grab a QB...

Gotta think a QB is on the way at some point this offseason

Yes.

Maybe they do all this and roll with Cam, but I can't see it.

 

[DangleCity]

Yes.

Maybe they do all this and roll with Cam, but I can't see it.

I think at the very least Cam is not the starter by the end of the season

[Fixed to Ruin]

I guess the Patriots dusted off the old Gronk/Hernandez playbook.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yes.

Maybe they do all this and roll with Cam, but I can't see it.

I can live with giving Cam a shot if we draft a QB early in the draft. I mean, at least make it a camp competition and if the rookie is not ready, give Cam the first few games and re-assess.

lots of running the ball and 5 yard passes to the dual tight ends.

 

[Terry Yake]

none of these moves will matter if they can't bring in a competent QB

 

[thefutures]

Got Cam at back up salary, not many better options for that price. I bet Bill likes Cam more than the qbs that signed for similar money (Fitz, Winston, etc) because he already has a year of experience with NE. Only way they get a QB now is through the draft imo.

Having 2 elite TE'S should help a lot. The Patriots literally had no TEs last season. Cam was most effective last season and in his career, throwing to the middle of the field.

Calling them Elite tight ends is a stretch unless you consider half the TE's in the NFL elite. Henry has the potential to be really good if , and I mean if, he stays healthy.

Well, to us, anything is elite when compared to what we had last year

I guess elite is a subjective term, but I dont think its a stretch to say both are top 10
