    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    "Second contract with the drafting team" seems like a weak measure. What if you trade a guy for a haul instead of resigning them, like the Jaguars did with Jalen Ramsey or the Dolphins did with Laremy Tunsil or the 49ers did with DeForest Buckner (to cite a few examples)? Those guys shouldn't...

    Tom Brady is retired

    Isn't there some sort of rule that would require a majority of owners to approve Brady to play if he actually becomes a minority owner of the Raiders? Seems unlikely if the Raiders deal is ever finalized.

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    Timing of a spending surge could also affect compensatory draft picks in the future. BB seemed pretty smart about optimizing that. Spend a lot this year, you probably don't get comp picks next year.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    They really did not explain Deflategate well at all. They knew the Pats had been deflating the balls but needed an INT to get the smoking gun? So the dastardly Pats would have been able to keep on cheating as long as they don't turn the ball over? There was no explanation of the rule or the...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    It was not mentioned in the Spygate episode, but it always infuriated me that the Pats actually only lost their first-round pick if they made the playoffs in '07. Had they somehow missed the postseason, it would have only been a second-rounder taken away. What kind of punishment is conditioned...

    Celebrating What Wasn’t - worst BB era memories

    Going for it on 4th and long instead of kicking the field goal earlier in the first Giants SB. Talib injuries early on in both the 2012 and 2013 AFCCGs. The whole second half of the 2012 AFCCG against the Ravens. The 2010 loss to the Browns when they lost like 34-14 to Colt McCoy and Peyton...

    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    I am not enamored with Vrabel as next Pats coach but his first two OCs left for head coaching jobs, no? That seems to reflect well on him, if anything. And he then had the added difficulty of replacing those guys.

    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    Carolina has no first in 2024 (Bears). If they gave up a 2025 first for BB, it would mean BB would be going to a situation without a first-round pick until 2026.

    2023 QB Carousel

    Doesn't Rodgers hate McCarthy? I know Rodgers hates everybody anyway. Hard to know for sure but I thought that bridge was burned.

    Bill O’Brien named Patriots OC

    Can someone explain to what extent Bill O'Brien "worked" with Mac Jones? BOB was fired by HOU midway through 2020, which was Mac's last season at Alabama. From what I found, BOB became the Alabama OC on 1/21/21, which is after the college football season. What kind of relationship is there?

    2023 QB Carousel

    Adalius Thomas signed with the Pats a year before Harbaugh was a Ravens coach. Otherwise, well made point.

    NFL: News and transactions

    I've never understood the all-or-nothing approach to premium sports league packages. If I live in Chicago, I have to shell out hundreds of dollars just to watch the Pats games that I could watch for free if I lived in Cranston. I don't give a shit about being able to watch Cardinals or Seahawks...
