Pats FA Day 2: Shock and Awe

- Start date
It’s probably something innocuous like he’s back for this season. He does share an agent with Chris Carson who the Pats were linked to earlier today.
Here's your awe
“This (start to free agency) strikes me as pure Bill Belichick. You got problems all over the place. Which clearly he identified. ... . Just go move and fix them. And be aggressive. I think it’s great.” - Bill Polian on the Patriots free agency attack
I maintain that was a good decision. It was a physical mistake, not a mental one. If he hadn't dropped the ball, he'd still be running.
Woody Johnson’s wife just put on a apron and is pulling the cupcake recipe out of the old coffee tin.
Best day 3 news for the offense would be:
1. Resign Andrews
2. Sign Curtis Samuel
3. Sign Philip Lindsay (replacing White)
4. Don't sign Golladay (to huge dollars, even if cap space was available)
Maybe not shock-and-awe but cherries on top.

I just don’t see how any decent WR would take a one year deal to play with Cam but it would be great to be wrong. Lots of intriguing names still out there:
Golladay
Samuel
JuJu
Fuller
Watkins
Hilton
The agents are expecting the cap to make up & then some for the 2022 FA period. Wouldn't you want to play for a proven OC + HC with #1 WR need, even if it's Cam?
Play for 1 guaranteed year, have years 2-3 voidable and hit the market again after playing in NE. Makes sense to me. This is especially true for someone like Fuller, who needs to prove that he can stay on the field for more than half the season.
Tough call. How much volume is going to be there in a likely run-based system that now has a lot of capable mouths to feed and, most importantly, a suboptimal QB making those throws?
If I’m banking on a reset year, I’m looking at places with a better thrower, even if I’m not a true #1 option.
But I acknowledge that there is some rationale for choosing NE since you could make an educated guess that a talented, young QB will be joining the team by the draft.
In any event, I will continue to hope we snag one of these guys as long as it’s conceivable to do so.
