Both signed to the practice squad (per black & blue review).Still don't understand why they didn't land here, but good for them. Hope it works out....(even if Miami is a shipwreck right now).

because Brandon Williams was overrated by fans and Marcus Lucas didn't have a position. He was big and could catch well, but couldn't do all the things either WR or TE asked of him. I don't expect to ever hear much about these 2 ever again. Lucas has more of a chance to be somebody than Williams.

It's a nice luxury to have to release players that others teams value, really speaks to our depth and the difficult choices the FO has to make.  It like having Antonio, Julio and AJ on the same FF team and only being able to start two.  Ok, Ok, not that great, but almost! :)

This is so true overall talent level has increased the last couple years. But with that being said. If we released Brockel I'm dam near positive he wouldn't be picked up by anyone in the NFL. Maybe CFL nah who am I kidding he'd be at auto bell before the months out.

The Patriots would pick him up and he'd be a Pro-Bowler.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the roster management spectrum...

Saints trade Akiem Hicks to Patriots for Michael Hoomanawanui

 

The Saints are desperate for cap space and will save about $600,000 through this trade because Hicks costs more than Hoomananui: Hicks has a base salary of $1,529,500 this season, while Hoomanawanui has a base salary of $800,000. That means the Saints will pay Hoomanawanui $658,000 for the rest of the season and the Patriots will pay Hicks $1,258,778 for the rest of the season. Both Hicks and Hoomanawanui are free agents after this season.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      By strato · Posted

      damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks.    I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part.    Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything.      In general, with the TEs

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.
