2012 Free Agent Thread - Patriots Only

[mikiemo83]

Besides, the Saints over would have to be one with no or only a small signing bonus. The Patriots always could match that and then trade him themselves.

so they could work out a sign and trade with a cleveland themselves say for a 3rd round pick if they feel Mallard the duck thrower is ready

He's also re-tweeted several other messages in support of this. Interesting to see a defensive player vouch for an offensive player, no doubt.

If we rule out cle, who else needs a QB? Seattle?

Scott Zolak ‏ <s>@</s>scottzolak GO GET MIKE WALLACE !!!!

What a surprise that would be.

Christopher Price ‏ <s>@</s>capeleaguer RT <s>@</s>JasonColeYahoo: Two unknown teams in on Green-Ellis and Pats want him back. Look for deal in $3-4m per year range.

4 mil? Nah, cannot get excited about that, not with 2 young RB's already here.

Because Carroll throwing a draft pick at an untested backup worked out so well the last time?

Yeah but....Hoyer has been on the Patriots and he has been in the same room as Brady, that automatically makes him worth a 2nd rounder.

Wtf is so impressive about BJGE???? The only thing he does really well is not fumble and falls forward. 3-4 million for that..... see ya

Jeff Howe ‏ <s>@</s>jeffphowe Thought: If the Redskins keep signing wide receivers, Jabar Gaffney could land on the trading block, and he'd make so much sense for NE.

If the Pats got Gaffney, we would still need another wideout, he is not enough to fix that issue.

For those getting impatient with the Pats slow start

best line ever about the opening of free agency: "Airport restaurant prices for hot dog stand talent"

Tom Silverstein wrote that a couple years ago.

 

[HSanders]

I'm not impatient one bit. I didn't expect them to rush to Filene's basement on the first day of the sale.

Considering we were able to get Anderson, Carter and Waters so late in FA last year I trust BB to be able to find some good players later on.
