Patriots/NFL Off Season 2021 - Free Agent Frenzy II - Robert Kraft on spending: In business to win

[N o o d l e s]

Pats keep one of their own.

Announce Andrews and Butler

 

[EvilDead]

According to 98.5's Jimmy Stewart, the Patriots are going after Nelson Aghalor

 

[Alicat]

Announce Andrews and Butler

Give me Matt Slater too and I will shut up about special teams until the season starts

Mac Jones has great pocket presence. And look where his ball goes. The accuracy. He knows where to put the ball for the receivers. Underrated and understated.

If Pats didnt close these signings today. Mac Jones would have been rocked next season.

But these signings pave the pay for him to succeed

However the question is, if he will fall to 15

Teams picking 7 to 14 should throw the bait at Bill, that they will take Jones unless Pats include an additional pick

 

[Gator Mike]

Why? In some ways Trask has better tools at the next level. Bigger size and heftier weight. Jones has a better arm

He's immobile.

He doesn't have first round arm strength.

He's going to need a ton of development.

So would you rather have Pats take Mond? (Backup)

Slater is under contract for 2021

 

[McGarnagle]

We also got Jalen Mills from the Eagles. Can play both CB and SS.

He has some concerning allegations on his record though...

 

[Gator Mike]

So would you rather have Pats take Mond? (Backup)

I'd be OK with the Pats taking Trask or Mond... just not at #15.

 

[EvilDead]

Can we please sign Dave Andrews...

Definitely excited for all the moves.

I guess players like New England after all.

Well, money does talk

 

[CDJ]

yes

I’d rather they not be the answer tho

 

[rocketdan9]

It will be tricky. At 45 or whatever they are picking with the 2nd. Mond and Trask likely wont be available

 

[Tvillewr419]

I’m seeing Mills as filling Harmon type roll as just additional safety on the field with DMac deep and Chung back in the mix in the box and on TEs...a full offseason for dugger, like this move, Chung has never really stayed healthy a whole year anyways

People thought Chung was awful in philly too and then he came home and has been more than serviceable, can never have too many dbs for our secondary packages, be nice to pair them with a pass rush too

 

[N o o d l e s]

yes

I’d rather they not be the answer tho

I'd take Mond in the 3rd if he fell that far but I'm not sure if he would. After all we just need talent in the QB room.

 

[Seidenbergy]

They can trade one or both comp picks (plus their regular picks) to move up if they want. Not their usual style, but neither is spending like drunken sailors on day 1 of free agency.....

Newman might be available there

 

[Gator Mike]

This might be the WR...

 

[EvilDead]

Breaking speculation: Pats are targeting 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.

Imo kind of a waste of time. The real prize is Wilson or Jones. Jones more realistic

I wouldnt be surprise if Bill trades a future 1st to get into 7-9 range and make sure to draft Jones

Otherwise what is the point of signing these FAs

 

[JRull86]

This might be the WR...

Meh. I get it, but he doesn't do much to move the needle there.

They need a playmaker type. Samuel fits that bill so much, even at the cost.

He'd be a good complimentary piece.

 

[JRull86]

Re-signing Andrews, Guy and bringing in Samuel on top of what theyve done already would be a big win.

I'd love Adam Butler back, but I think he's probably priced himself out.

Both 49ers WRs the Pats have been linked to. Maybe greasing the skids for Jimmy to come back.

I would rather bring back Butler than Guy.

 

[rocketdan9]

Newman might be available there

He is like a Cam Newton part 2. Poor pocket game. Poor composure when heated. His td/int ratio was not great

Im a pass
