So below excerpt from NESN FA review (winners/losers) highlights 2 AFCE teams signing as BACKUPs 2 of the former starters that were being kicked around as potential Patriots FA targets or possible starters
So, do you think these teams honestly needed/wanted these guys on their own merits, or was this just an opportunity to dry up the FA market, raise the patriots cost to hire a FA and increase the nbr of teams seeking QBs in the draft to compete w Pats all at same time?
The Miami Dolphins added receiver Will Fuller on a low-risk, one-year deal, got a good price for ex-Patriot defensive lineman Adam Butler and added some depth with backup signal-caller Jacoby Brissett and running back Malcolm Brown. Lastly, the Buffalo Bills signed quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to back up Josh Allen and added receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who should complement No. 1 option Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley rather nicely.
