Technically for first rounders it’s a 4-year contract with a team option for a 5th year. Unless Strange plays a lot better this coming season I don’t see them picking up that 5th year option next spring.

He’ll be 26 in September, still young. He’s betting on himself and likely feels real good about his role heading into this season. If he can bounce back and do better than his career-best 2022, he can command much more guaranteed money by next offseason. It’s a calculated risk and I hope it...

This is key. I like Baker way more than the receivers that ended up remaining in that 5th round. Wolf must have liked Polk more than McConkey and wanted to take him at 34 anyway but wisely leveraged that to a pick upgrade that allowed the Pats to get Baker. I preferred McConkey myself at the...

You forgot K.J. Osborn who they just signed this offseason for $4 million for one year. $3,180,000 cap hit if they cut him so I don’t think they’ll do that.

AJ Brown just signed an extension last night with the Eagles (3-yr, $96m, $84m guaranteed) so he’s not going to be an option. Brandon Aiyuk or Tee Higgins are the WR’s to hope for if trading that 34th pick away.

Mac Jones needs to go. Both sides of this need a fresh start. What I don’t want to see is the Pats fall into the same trap the Giants did with Daniel Jones: a QB who stunk, didn’t get his 5th year option picked up, had a career-best season heading into free agency, and convinced the team to...

I think we all knew who you meant, just being smartasses about it lol ;)

If that’s your criteria then technically Dave DeGuglielmo is the last ex-Giants coach hired by the Pats, and he was fired after the Bryan Stork game against the Broncos.

I was confused until I realized you were referring to the 2020 season’s playoffs. It was at Pittsburgh as well. Not bad. Starting to warm up to the idea of AVP as our new playcaller. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202101100pit.htm

Saw Tatum’s postgame where he was basically “oh well, bad day at the office, we’re not perfect”. And Mazzulla when asked about whether they should be embarrassed by this loss, says it is “insulting” to tell another person they should be embarrassed. It’s this sort of soft, coddling approach...

Mark Buben played defensive end for the Pats from 1979-1981. Went to high school in Methuen. Also a side note: Andre Tippett's son Coby now coaches the cornerbacks for Tufts' football team.

I work for Tufts University and can vouch for what you're saying. I've seen the class reunions and the donor events. Very proud institution.

Just wish I didn’t have to be subjected to all of Masslive’s clickbait article headlines. “Former Patriots Pro Bowler may not play this weekend”, “New England legend has interesting thing to say about this Patriots QB”, “This McVay protege favored for new Patriots coordinator position”, etc...

In fairness even though I’m not a fan of Fields’ game I’d take a flyer on him for a 5th. I just don’t think that’s going to be enough for the Bears. For that return they may as well keep him for the last year of his rookie contract as a backup. QB needy teams would have to give up more than...

Acknowledged, as I did mention his lack of durability. He still has value as an experienced, relatively cheap veteran when he’s upright. But I don’t fault you for disagreeing, he is far from being a sure solution. Problem is there aren’t a lot of inspiring solutions out there when looking for a...

Technically the Pats haven’t had a Jumbo since Shane Waldron was their tight ends coach! (Jumbo as in Tufts alum)

Fields is not a QB you trade for to be just a bridge. In 2022 he ran for 1,143 yards, the second-highest total ever for a QB. That kind of upside isn’t going to come cheap, and that’s the problem: - You’d be bringing in a QB to an offense that isn’t already tailor made to this skill set -...

My apologies for nitpicking but you probably mean Cowher as he was the Steelers coach that year. The Super Bowl the Steelers won under Tomlin happened 3 years later against the Cardinals.
