Looking at the Patriots 2024

Share this page

I don’t care how much cap space the Pats have I hope they play hardball with Judon.

Set a precedent. Yes he was good on his last contract and he was paid accordingly. And he also was the best player on a bottom five team in the NFL.
He is old and injured. He’s not worth whatever he may be asking for. Let him go. It won’t be Kraft being cheap. It’s better to let him move on.
Plus he’s a dirty Raven at his heart.


Very often in any business, when new management comes in to take over a failing company it’s best to clean out the “best” people in that failed organization. They cause problems.

I’ve never liked Judon, and it’s not like he helped the Patriots to be a winning organization.

He was not paid accordingly, he was paid about half what others were for similar or worse production.

I can't even begin to imagine how Matt Judon could have done more for the team and organization than he has. He was our best Defensive player whenever he was on
the field and stepped into the role of spokesperson willingly and very posititively. Yes, I love the reasonable, thoughtful answers he gives and the way he handles the
media and has appointed himself a lobbyist for free agents to come here, but mainly I love him blowing Offenses up regularly. He takes games over and there are
only so many of those guys around.

You don't like him because he gets hurt or what? That is beyond his control.

What exactly do you not like about him? He seems like the coolest cat ever. A gentle, intelligent dude with a good sense of humor and seldom
shows any negativity. I'd heard he was a problem child earlier in his life, but he's been exactly the opposite here. He's the guy you want to keep because
he has done everything asked of him better than expected and has been an outstanding Patriot.

I loved him blowing up offenses, and he was paid accordingly for his time over the past few years.
I don’t like his recruiting at all. If it extends behind the scenes however well meant, it undermines the front office and coaching staff.
He’s old. He will not live up to the contract he wants. Let him go and let the young players see the front office play some hardball.

Plus I don’t trust him. He was a happy warrior when he was the featured best player on an awful team. That has to change. He is most certainly on the downside, and new leaders need to step up. New coaches need to cultivate young leaders on the team. It’s time for him to go.

If that is true, which I don’t agree with, I think he was a good but a product of a much larger system. But even if he was under paid. You think we should over pay him to stay here in his advanced age?

Let him go somewhere else and get his money. Unless it’s maybe a one year deal, which he does not want. Let him go.

Okay then. I don't agree with you, but that is a reasonable viewpoint. Let's see if the organization agrees with you. I think we'll see a compromise and
he'll be back in the fold with plenty of time to get ready for the season.

Right now it's considered a given that our D will be tough to deal with, but I think that has to be proven on the field every year and Judon will be a big part
of that happening. With him, and some of the young guys returning and developing, I like our chances to be really good.

But a really good defense.
 
Don't know why the rooks are showing up 5 days earlier than the vets though.

Agreed, we’ve had multiple players that haven’t lived up to their contracts, looking at you Ju ju, but Judon has been great. Nothing to complain about, he’s literally at times been the only thing worth watching in recent years.
 
Patriots 2024 training camp started yesterday. Most days, practices are at 11AM and open to the public.
Would appreciate any reports from those who attend any of the practices.
 
Missing Cheve454 input. Haven’t seen him around. Hopefully life is going great for him.
