To have a team with the history of the Patriots lurking us to ****** up our players. First they snatched up Tyler Gaffney and now they just pounced on a former player, Ben Hartstock. I seriously hope that we don't let Brandon Williams go. I can imagine how well they'd use him and I picture how successful he'd be in their system. But I kinda like the fact that they're watching us. That means that we have something to watch...

Honestly as far as personnel goes the Pats don't really seem to be all that consistent. They certainly draft well enough, but they're rarely just loaded with talent. Always getting by on Brady and BB.

I'm talking out of my ass but it feels about right.

The actually draft on a fairly consistently shitty level. Stock piling picks only means so much when you constantly draft shitty players on the rare occasion that you actually use one.

No, they really don't.  Take a look at the last 5 or 6 years and rethink what you said.  They've not really drafted that well, they rarely find success in their FA acquisitions, they just play in a weak division and ride on the laurels of their previous success pre-spygate.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
