    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    In the trade-down scenario, it's difficult to get excited about Pennix or Nix because (a) their upside seems limited, and (b) taking them at 34 means passing up on superior talent at OL and WR. What do people think about Jordan Travis? He'd obviously have to redshirt due to his injury, but I...

    Offseason rumors

    Newman!

    Mayo: Season 1

    Having to wait to interview assistants on active playoff teams is definitely one of the blockers. Another was likely waiting for BB to land another job. This surely would impact the cast of holdovers who might or might not be available. If Caley does not sign this week after the in-person...

    Mayo: Season 1

    That was great. Mayo as a leader for the new generation definitely felt like a real thing. Funny, confident, and thoughtful. But, man, every time Kraft spoke - about the women in his life, color blindness, etc., I had that nervous feeling he was going to say something that ignites a social...

    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    It struck me watching SNF that the Bills would be a great BB landing spot. This season is teetering, and their schedule the rest of the way is tough. If they don't advance to the AFC championship game, some sort of change feels likely. Compensation would be fascinating. I'd pursue a "1st...

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    Any chance they could fit Stafford into their budget? Rams are obviously rebuilding, and this would increase their odds to bottom out.

    The Celtics Offseason

    Aaron McKie was an assistant coach for the Sixers and yet somehow the Lakers got to include him in the trade that netted Pau Gasol. He's the PG on this lottery team. And eff LA.

    Pats sign JuJu Smith-Schuster

    To be fair, a Meyers lateral is something special in its own right. Too soon?

    How to improve the WR position

    Anyone have big feelings about Adam Thielen as a trade candidate? Minn can save $13m by moving on from him post 6/1, and they are going to have to pay Jefferson a boatload shortly. What would we have to give up to land him, and what would he add to the offense?

    NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round

    Indianapolis may have to lower their "worst formation ever" banner after that last Dallas play.

    Devers : No talks after season begins (Speier report)

    Bay Area based, and the Giants are getting killed for the Correa fiasco. They need a big swing to salvage the off season. Might Devers to SF make sense, perhaps centered on LHP Kyle Harrison? Bonus if we can bring back Yaz (maybe by including Duran)?

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    If I wanted to give a young coach like Nick Caley cover to get acclimated as a first-time playcaller, deploying amorphous titles and giving full visibility to two former HCs who are used to media attention/serving as lightning rods would make a good deal of sense. And maybe it would be a sign...
