EDIT: bad infoWow! I hope this doesn’t mean less Meyers because that kid catches EVERYTHING.
I wonder who goes to make room and how they got the cap space to pull this off.
Sanu’s cap hit (per Miguel) for the Pats will be about $3.9MCan’t speak to roster but he’s not making much money this season. He fits now.
yeah, I didn’t realize the site i was looking at had broken it down and that was the Pats hit.Sanu’s cap hit (per Miguel) for the Pats will be about $3.9M
Gordon injury could very well be worse than we know. Been pretty much a black hole of information on him out of Foxborough. Normally if you have a player that's gonna be out 6-8 weeks you put him on IR, but given that the Patriots have only one slot left and it appears reserved for Wynn that's not an option, so we may be riding a number of weeks with him as inactive.So either:
A.) Gordon’s injury is worse than originally thought.
B.) The Pats would rather bring someone else back from IR instead of Harry.
C.) Brady and Belichick are leaving at the end of the season and are going all in.
Yup and the Pats 2 is almost a 3 as it is most years. Offering a 3 doesn’t get it done.He’s under contract through next year, and there’s competition out there, I’m sure that was a factor in the price.
this had to be a factor in giving up a 2. If he’s a free agent he fetches a third maybe a 4thHe’s under contract through next year, and there’s competition out there, I’m sure that was a factor in the price.
Did Brady's neighbor's cousin sell his house? Panic time at Foxboro.Doesn’t mean anything other than adding a quality talent.
...to go with terrific hands and:Good blocker and reasonable 2020 salary. I guess pick 64 is fine.
He probably did, these early reports are almost always wrong.I understand going as high as a second, but a little surprised BB didn’t get another 7th back while he was at it.
Wynn upgrades the OL. Watson seems to make the TE spot non-useless. I think your point about the WRs is the big one. They recently played an entire half with Gunner and Meyers at WR. I think they can survive if TE reverts back to passing-game uselessnes. They will have a much harder time overcoming depleted WR.I was a bit surprised as I thought the OL or TE were bigger needs. Then again, it's not clear who else was available that the Pats could squeeze into their cap space.
Then again, they are pretty banged up. Both Dorsett and Edelman are playing through injuries, and Dorsett's limitations become apparent if he's asked to be anything above a WR3. Gordon's knee was twisted pretty badly, and so it wouldn't surprise if he's out a few more weeks, as he wasn't even spotted at practice all week, and it seemed he was playing through some injuries even before he got hurt. They do get Harry back soon, but it would be a lot to ask of him to become a primary contributor, especially if Edelman has to miss a game or two.
With an abbreviated practice week, it's also quite possible that Sanu's first game is against the Ravens.
Jimmy G?It's actually fascinating just how poorly NE drafts in the 2nd round. Gronk and Collins are the only impact players of the past decade. They make up for it with how they handle the back end of the draft and UDFAs, but man, they are just awful in round 2. Ron Brace? Terrence Wheatley? Chad Jackson? Marquise Hill? Even going back to 2003, the only other meaningful player from those drafts is Chung, and he had to leave and come back for them to figure out what to do with him.
Yeah, it’s tempting to read the tea leaves, but it’s entirely possible they’re just upgrading when the opportunity presents itself.Doesn’t mean anything other than adding a quality talent.
Just don't take #17.Wonder what Sanu’s number will be. I believe 12 is taken.
I think number 12 is definitely still gettable for Sanu.Wonder what Sanu’s number will be. I believe 12 is taken.
