I tried to look back and see if this has already been posted, but I do apologize if this has already been talked about in depth.

I think this needs to be our next move. 

6'1" 198lbs - 25 years old

2nd round tender placed by NE and after their spending spree, as well as having Gilmore/Mills there already, I think we can swoop in and scoop our CB1.

Yes, it would cost us a 2nd...a high 2nd, but the final piece that is truly missing on this insanely athletic, young defense would be acquired in this scenario. I have personally hoped that any QB trade (DW or moving up in the draft) would not include our 2nd rounder this year, so this would allow us to get Jackson. 

I was sleeping on this kid big time. He has faced a ton of action since Gilmore is NE's Revis/PP shut down guy. His story is littered with having to hustle and prove himself....and he has. 

A friend of mine is a diehard NE fan....not the a$$hole kind that thinks Brady is God, but a very grounded and intelligent, analytical fan that I've had countless conversations about football with. He told me, "I'd argue Jackson is the best CB in the league that nobody is talking about. After the first year that I saw him, I wanted NE to give him a long-term deal to lock him down for the next decade. First two years, had one of the lowest passer ratings against him. His third year (last year) 2nd in the league in INTs."

Jackson came out of Maryland the same year DJ did, so I wonder if Moore and him are in contact. Maybe DJ can get in Snow/Rhule/Fitterer's ear and make this happen. 

 Let's do this!!

You're not just going to have to give up a 2nd rounder, you're also going to have to offer a contract that NE (a team with a LOT more cap room than we have) won't be willing to match. Just saying.

Oh, for sure we'll have to pay. I just didn't think it would be anywhere near what the top CBs are getting. I also am of the opinion that we have more space now after all of the Pats' signings to make this happen. 

I was glazing over Spotrac's page and looked like we have 15M more currently. Not sure how updated it is, or perhaps I'm reading it wrong.

Yeah, they've definitely been spending like drunken sailors. Not sure where they currently sit.

How much more cap room could the Patriots possibly have? They've signed an entire new team.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
