Mack Hollins signs with Patriots

[MrEpsYtown]

I feel like Tyrell Shavers can do everything he can do at a fraction of the cost. I think he can take over that role, especially on special teams. 
 

The reality is Hollins played too much. Good role player who was asked to do too much. If we gave him 8 million I would be concerned. 

[Aussie Joe]

Hate him going to the Patriots…

 

but opens a spot to take a swing in the draft with one of those Top 60 picks 

[KOKBILLS]

This opens the door for Jayden Higgins...

 

Just saying...

Plus, I don’t think we’re done at WR yet.

We can't be. With Hollins gone we are still down 1-2 WR.

We paid Deonte Harty $5M. Not sure how you let him leave for that.... Doesn't make much sense 

You know that we cut Harty sheet one season.  He obviously wasn't worth the money. 

[Evansfan322]

I just wonder if Josh was consulted ? Felt like they had chemistry plus his blocking and special teams 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

I am shocked that he wouldn’t stay here. There’s no way the bills were gonna pay him a ton but damn this really hurts.

The Pats had over 120M to spend. They are spending all of it. 

 

They did this a few years ago ...just threw out huge contracts day 1 . They regretted a huge chunk of them.

Can’t blame Mack for taking the Brinks truck load of cash… he may never lead a championship contender, 2 seed in TDs all the way to the title game ever again.

 

 I hope we can replace the production.

Maybe, I bet Hollins is better value. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Ahhhh that sucks. Cmon man. I was such a dick about Hollins last offseason and then was happily proven wrong. I wanted him back. Hollins has done more then Palmer in my eyes

It's a bummer.  Hope Palmer works out because their stats haven't been all that different.

This, we can pay him 12m per year but can't pay Hollins 4?  Don't make sense to me

[MJS]

For the Patriots??? Lame.

[No_Matter_What]

I think this could be an indication that we plan to draft the fifth WR.

 

We have met with quite a few, at least 3 who are expected to go in the first two rounds, and another 3 who are late 3rd/ early 4th projections (we have Bears pick there).

 

I am fine with it.

 

Edit: Unless we somehow land bigger fish, which I am fine with too

The fact that this is happening again tells you that it's ownership dictating quick fixes to systemic problems. 

[Jerboski]

Not convinced today made us better… I’ll take Hollins over anyone we signed today

fun player.  too expensive for Beane in all likelihood

Every one is too expensive for this regime. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

That stinks.  Was hoping he would resign

[WotAGuy]

Maybe he can afford a pair of shoes now.
