This blog has been running for over a year and a half, and I’ve only had two other writers write for this blog, both of whom are no longer contributing. That being said, if you want to write for the blog, shoot me an email at patriotsblog@aol.com. All I need is a quick blurb about yourself [...]
A couple of days ago, I posted a rumor that Darren McFadden was scheduled to visit Gillette stadium this April.
According to McFdadden’s agent, Darren will visit the team early next month.
Clearly, the Patriots believe that McFadden may fall to them, and they want to see what he could bring to the team if he is [...]
This rumor doesn’t have much of a backbone, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyways. According to sources, the Patriots are planning a pre-draft visit with Darren McFadden.
I couldn’t find anything reliable to support this, but there are some sources saying it. Also, consider this: prior to Maroney’s breakout at the end of [...]
One of the largest barometers of a team’s interest in a prospect are the pre-draft visits the team holds. For example, in 2006, the Patriots hosted Laurence Maroney, and in 2007, Meriweather. However, the team can also use the visits to further evaluate players with injuries, like Michael Bush last year. A team can schedule [...]
I haven’t done a mock draft in a long time, so I thought I’d give it a shot again. It’s kind of hard to do, because you don’t know who’s going to be aroud, but this is what I’ve got:
Round 1, Pick 7: Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
If Gholston is available, I think he’ll be [...]
Keith Rivers, Linebacker, USC
6′2″, 240 lbs, Senior, 4.6
Strengths: Versatility. In the Senior Bowl, Keith Rivers was able to play three linebacker positions. Rivers’ versatility should allow him to move to insider linebacker in the 3-4, should he be drafted by a 3-4 team. He is also very althletic. He ran a great 40, can get [...]
According to various sources, the Patriots will not pursue Titans cornerback Pacman Jones.
This comes admist reports that the Pats had some level of interest in Jones, and that Jones wanted to be a Patriot.
When Fernando Bryant was released a month ago by the Lions, I was wondering if the Patriots would take a look at him.
Well apparently, they have. Bryant visited with the team today, and is expected to sign a contract with the Patriots.
UPDATE: According to profootballtalk.com, the deal is signed, and will be a one year [...]
The 2008 free agency period has been nothing what 2007 was like. The Patriots have scheduled few visits, made only a few moves, and haven’t pursued any big name free agents.
Still, the team has made some moves, including the signings of three defensive backs, Tank Williams, Jason Webster, and Lewis Sanders as well as [...]
According to ESPN.com, Troy Brown is visiting with the New York Jets today. This comes less than a week after the Patriots didn’t see Brown in their plans going forward.
Football gods, don’t let this happen. In my heart I just want Troy Brown to return, but I’m pretty sure it won’t happen. Troy was meant [...]
