BarleyNY Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) AFC contender? I guess all 16 AFC teams are contenders at this point. It’s like referring to an actor, show or book as “award eligible”. I’m going to start reffering to all coaches, FO personnel and players this way, i.e. MVP candidate Zach Wilson. It’ll be a hoot. Don’t know what Zeke has left in the tank at this point, but he still should be serviceable rotational back for NE or another team. Edited June 21, 2023 by BarleyNY 7 Quote
RoyBatty is alive Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Great hope he does. we get their Damien Harris on a reasonable contract. Pats get Ezekiel Elliot's ego and lineage, he will be grossly overpaid even though he is way over the hill. Edited June 21, 2023 by RoyBatty is alive 5 1 Quote
MJS Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 They already have a good running back. I don't know why they would do this. 1 Quote
K D Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 They need all the help they can get. They are loading up at RB and hoping for another windy day in Buffalo 3 1 3 Quote
Rigotz Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Friendly reminder that the Patriots over/under win total this year is 7.5 and they are the worst team in the division. They could sign any non-QB and that won’t change, much less a washed up backup RB. 5 Quote
RyanC883 Posted June 21, 2023 Author Posted June 21, 2023 I don't get him going there. No pass game to take pressure off him. Seems a place like the Chargers would be a better destination if he wants to set himself up for another contract. But this work for me. Also, agree with @BarleyNY, odd the article refers to NE as a "contender," although, it's what made me click on it. Quote

They have 3 young RB, 1 who is a proven while the other 2 showed flashes last year. Why spend 5 million on someone just keep them from seeing how good the kids are. 1 Quote

Logic Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I don't think he's better than their current top four running backs. He hasn't cracked 1,002 yards rushing since 2019. I'd rather play Stevenson, Strong, Harris, or Montgomery over Zeke at this point, but maybe that's just me. 1 Quote

BuffaloBillyG Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Rumors are fun. I remember a rumor that a DHop signing with New England was looming. 1 Quote

Ain’t gonna do anything to help their chances. Quote
Aussie Joe Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 This “rumour” is based on a CBS story of Cody Benjamin “ playing matchmaker” for free agent running backs… He isn’t even trottting out “ unnamed sources”… just making stuff up for a story… https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-nfl-2023-triplets-part-ii-jaguars-lead-teams-in-middle-of-pack-qb-situation-doesnt-affect-49ers/ 2 1 Quote
