CorkScrewHill Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 James Devlin FB retires. He was a very good blocker for them. Sorry that he is hurt, but glad that he creates a hole for the Patsies. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001111928/article/roundup-patriots-fb-james-devlin-retiring-from-nfl 4 1 1

They grabbed Keene to sort of play a FB/H-Back role for them. Good player - ST contributor too. Edited April 27, 2020 by dneveu
Seasons1992 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 As of today at 4:01pm EST, this is an average team. Now if they sign Dalton or Cam, that changes completely. But they are not good. Lost a lot. Your mileage (and opinion) may vary. 3
mjt328 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I honestly don't know why ANYONE is scared of this team. If anybody else was going into camp with Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham at the top of their QB depth chart, they would be a laughing stock. Not to mention, they have done absolutely nothing to upgrade their offensive skill positions (which were pretty bad last season). Because it's Bill Belichick, everyone assumes he just knows something everyone else doesn't.

Would mean Sanu and Thurney would get cut. 1
NewEra Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Thank goodness. I was really worried that he had ruined Tremaines career 2 years ago with that devastating block. That was a man destroying a kid block. Wasn’t sure Tremaine would ever be the same after getting smashed like that Edited April 27, 2020 by NewEra

Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Their new kicker has a tattoo on his arm representing a right wing militia. He's been told to obiiterate or cover it. Yes, things are slipping in beantown. 1
MrEpsYtown Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 They signed Dan Vitale who I really like. I think he is a perfect fit there and can be more of a factor in the passing game, plus ghey drafted Dalton Keene. They are in good shape there.

notwoz Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 The Patriots might be a bit weaker. But as long as Bill Belichick is running the show, they will be dangerous. 2
Utah John Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I think the reason Brady left was that the team is clearly Tanking for Trevor this year. Brady wanted no part of that.

Augie Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 What are the chances he shows up in Tampa and plays under an alias? Rats jumping from the Belichick ship! 1
Sherman Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 The strength of the Pats last year was D and special teams. Their D outscored some teams on their own. They won’t be easy but they also won’t be scary without Brady. 1
RobbRiddick Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I'd honestly be surprised if Belichick signs a 'known'' QB. I think he's going to be so motivated to do well this season with this roster so he can show what a genius he is, that he can do it without Brady and a roster people are writing off. At this point Brady and Belichick are like two songwriting partners who have had a bunch of hits but each one feels the other guy unfairly gets too much of the credit.

They have no money to sign either, Cam is in the 18 million range along with Dalton, Pats are negative in salary cap. Belichick would literally have to gut the team just to get out of the negative, and that means he would have to trade Gilmore since he has an expensive contract. At this point they would be lucky to be able to sign Matt Moore Edited April 27, 2020 by BuffaloBills1998
