I’m assuming that the trade is a compensation will be a combination of Cassel and Vrabel. I think this means we will get the third overall pick (Jason Smith, Michael Crabtree, Aaron Curry, Eugene Monroe anybody?). However, terms of [...]
And just like that, wide receiver is a serious are of need.
Earlier today, former Patriots wide receiver Jabar Gaffney reached terms with the Denver Broncos on a three year agreement.
Gaffney was never the flashiest receiver, but he always got the job done. He was versatile, could get the job done anywhere on the field (slot [...]
Reported by John Clayton on ESPN.com:
The Kansas City Chiefs were the youngest teams in football last year but new general manager Scott Pioli wanted to install some veteran leadership.
Pioli accomplished that task by trading an undisclosed draft choice to the Patriots for 33-year-old linebacker Mike Vrabel.
Vrabel is one of the leaders of the Patriots defense, [...]
Tight end was a relative weak spot for the Patriots in 2008. Ben Watson and David Thomas were both inconsistent. But suddenly, tight end is no longer an issue.
The NFL network is reporting that the Patriots have reached an agreement on free agent tight end Chris Baker. Baker, as you probably know, was most recently [...]

And while the Patriots likely won’t be big spenders in free agency this year, the future of one player is certainly on the [...]
The Patriots have locked up inside linebacker and key special teams contributor Eric Alexander to a one year deal, the Boston Herald reports:
Sources close to Eric Alexander, who is currently out of the country, have indicated that the linebacker and team have agreed in principle to a one-year contract, with bonuses.
Alexander, a member of the [...]
Here, we go, the first post-combine mock draft for the Patriots, and I’m jumping to all seven rounds (including a compensatory picks in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds; Asante Samuel, Donte Stallworth, and Randall Gay).
Round 1, Pick 23: Connor Barwin, OLB, Cincinatti
Connor Barwin’s stock has skyrocketed due to his combine performance, as well as [...]
Now that the NFL combine is over, I thought I would recap a few players who the Patriots have shown some interest in, had initial conversations with, or in the cases of some players, having shown interest in the Patriots.
Connor Barwin – The DE / OLB / TE from Cincinatti showed he can do everything, [...]
