1 million off from other offer yea okay đđđ sitting on 50 million doing nothing
Well. Ofc he will say that. Teams are always open to trading. If the chiefs called the Bears and said âhey we will give you Mahomes for #1â. Theyâd listen.
Wish we had signed one impact external free agent
Canât wait for the draft to be over
Gotta keep that 4 win core intact
Am I the only one who wanted nothing to do with Ridley?
I am also disappointed with no big move like Smith or Ridley.
What I will say that I do like is that a lot of the players they signed was kinda like buying mid round draft picks.
Now we donât need to draft an edge in round 5 since we brought back Jennings and Uche
Gibson means we donât need to draft a RB
Chuks means we donât *need* a tackle
Dugger means no S
A lot of these holes are holes Bill historically replaced through the draft. I do have a couple complaints though for these mid level guys:
– Would have preferred signing a box safety off the market instead of Dugger. Jeremy Chinn would have made more sense given the positional value and contracts.
– Giving Josh Uche a 2 year deal highly incentivized. If he has a good year this year, heâs gone. With Judonâs departure on the horizon, it wouldâve been good to have a built in second year of that contract that might mitigate that loss. I canât imagine Mayo is bringing Uche back to use him the same way Bill did.
– Myles Bryant should be back. Good depth CB/FS and ST player. Would pretty much solidify your secondary for next year.
It was a bad FA class for the Patriots. It was extremely thin at the positions they need help at. They also should be taking calls on the 3rd pick in case a team decides to make a ridiculous offer. That being said, canât feel good about next season. Feels like a rookie QB at the helm with a sus offensive line and bottom 5 WRs to throw to. Setting him up for failure just like Mac.
Why is this entire threat just focusing on the Ridley part of this report and ignoring how we are open to trading number 3? That’s pretty big news considering we heard the contrary last week from Breer
The people we were 4-13 with.
We needed
1. QB 2. WR1 3. LT1
and got NOTHING.
lol wish we could fast foward. We are getting Daniels at 3. Which is great. if somehow the medias plan to drop Maye down the ranks works, we’ll happily take that as well.
Id be surprised if we donât trade the pick at this point tbh
I really wanted a LT to be signed. I was hoping for a qb + wr in rounds 1 and 2⌠but we need a LT real bad⌠if we had signed a vet we could have waited until 2025 to pick a franchise LT in rd 1 or 2. Now we probably get qb and LT instead of qb & wr
How can you say the most important thing was resigning the guys that got you to 4-13?
Not sure if it was taken out of context, but that’s an absolutely terrible quote from Mayo lol
Is Mike Reiss a reliable source?
This is already a disaster. First they said they were gonna open the wallet, and now itâs âwellllâŚwe just wanted to bring our guys backâ???
Get ready to suck for the next couple of years , I hope we donât turn into the jets
Should trade the pick have a lot more issues that a QB would fix still need a LT, QB, and WR haven’t got any of those.
Yes the focus of a bad team should always be on keeping the same players.
