I had a hunch this is what was up when Harbaugh said he'd let Mason "announce his own plans himself." He didn't sound happy about it working out this way.

Anything that makes Harbawl upset is good by me….

EDIT: Everyone watch out.. Captain Stoner got a wish. He's going to regale us with just how "SMAHT" he is.... {sic}

Oh boy, I like Mason… I mean Jakob is good but he can be upgraded… very interesting

Wait so that’s two 2021 Ravens draft picks that are now Patriots lmao

And one from last year.
We should poach one of their scouts.
Might as well.

Also Fulgham signed with Eagles PS.

Jesus. He's from Newtown, CT. Was an 8th grader when Sandy Hook shooting took place. His school went in lockdown. Used to trick or treat at the shooter's house.

Michigan football's Ben Mason carries tragedy of Sandy Hook massacre

Early enrollee had friends who lost loved ones in one of the deadliest shootings in U.S. history.

One of my favorite Jazz saxophonists, Jimmy Greene, had his daughter Ana murdered that day. I think of her every time I play one of his CDs.

But...the captain wanted to "waste draft capital" on him, while savvy Bill got him for free!

I do love this pickup. Since they only carry one FB I always want to see one on the practice squad, and Mason is a great fit.

"The family grew up in Wrentham, Massachusetts. They made the short drive to Foxborough most Sundays to watch the Patriots play."

(As noted, they later moved to Newtown.)

'Bench Mason:' Michigan's mohawked, eats-with-his-hands fullback

Michigan's Ben Mason looks like a classic "football guy." And he is, for sure. But he's also much more than that.

This is no Pratice Squad - this is extended 53
(#nobodywantstoplayforhim #hescheatin)

Some of these guys will move to 53 sooner than later

I know it's a nutty thing to say, but it's the best practice squad I ever remember having.

Presumably one of the remaining 5 spots is for Langi if he clears waivers.

A lot of surprising things happening here lately. Add the Ben manson release/claim to that. I really like him. Another Michigan player too. Chemistry

A Navy player? From the team the Patriots play week 1? Shocking.

Edit: and QB conversion project, of course. Bill must have been like a moth to a flame.

I really hope so. I did predict this move w Tavai on board but thought they'd wait for best moment to sneak him through.
Would be a pity to lose him for the second time which unfortunately is def. a possibility.
Great ST player but there is a logjam there as well so would probably be inactive..
He played his heart out during preseason and is a decent depth piece but the level of Pats team this yr is just ..

The spot for Perry had to be opened up prior to 4:00 while the Harry move had to happen after 4:00 for him to be eligible to return. Sounds like the intention could be for Hoyer to be a practice squad elevation for week 1.

But Langi has to go through waivers first..

Holy crap, is this fullback really 291 pounds?

Doesn't he have four years of accrued time? Came in as an UDFA in 2017.

No waivers, maybe?
