A.) I like your list, you can probably bring in 1-2 of those guys and still be under the cap, especially if you move money around. Dont listen to the Debbie Downers. B). For all of you Pats fans in these threads who keep saying "they just need a QB" or "They are only missing a QB" Teams literally go 20 plus years without finding a guy. Dont make it sound that easy. Also the Patriots arent building a team to try and beat the Chiefs. The Patriots are building a team to try and win more than 7 games this year.

Has watching the Bills over the years taught you nothing. Finding a QB isnt that easy.

You need help man. You enjoy being miserable, it's not healthy.

I love it. Going to make hating them even more fun.

I agree with you to a point. The Patriots have a relatively easy schedule so I think 10 wins is possible, but again it all comes down to Cam. Like I said in another thread Belichick is 61-72 in games he has coached without Brady. I refuse to be scared of that until I see otherwise.

With Addison coming back you have to assume they are out on Pass Rushers. What's left is a bunch of older players like Houston and Dunlap, players who dont fit the Bills scheme like Reddick, and guys like Clowney who are really more edge setters than edge rushers.

In a normal year thats probably correct. The Bills reupped their Franchise LT, and #1 cb with the expectation the cap would be over 200 million dollars this year. They also just resigned two of the best free agents on the market. Can we stop being upset they didnt overspend for above average pass rushers?

If Ralph isnt fired after tonight... Hutton shouldnt be in the NH, Stahl is horrendous, Dahlin and Colin Miller look like they both belong on the Amerks. What a total pukefest.

Lots of good pass rushers left. Just not guys you need to pay 13 to 16 million. Clowney is a guy to keep an eye on the longer free agency goes on

Apparently the Talbots have a cousin covering the Raiders.

Agree. Free agency makes fans over value moderate talent. Think he is better than Jefferson but still not a player to lose sleep over.

I mean youre isolating one year. Thats kind of easy to do. Id take Josh Allen over anyone the Jets have probably ever drafted.

Same feeling on Lawson I had about Corey Davis. Good not great player. Never been a double digit sack guy. Value over estimated by the hyperbole of free agency.

Curtis Samuel.

Its exactly what they did with Andre Smith. The tender is over 2 million so you try and get a multi year in place with the first year under 2. Otherwise you replace with a late signing free agent or a draft pick. Smart move

Doesnt set the edge well. Not a complete player.

Good but not great player. Never had more than 5 tds in a season and never eclipsed 1000 yards. Just like every other team in the AFC East spending money, show me a QB and then I worry. Jets are paying him more than we pay Diggs.

He is a sub 250 pound pass rushing odd front linebacker. Not a fit for the scheme here.

I agree that the 1994 season was fantastic, it was also the anomaly. He was 36 and 44, with a .450 winning pct, with one playoff appearance in Cleveland. Without Brady as a starter in New England the guy is 25-28 with no playoff appearances. Brady is not only great, he is literally the greatest champion of all time. I will give Belichick some credit for handing him the keys, I mean what coach is going back to a Quarterback with a ruptured spleen when your backup is on a 6 game win streak? However, he gets very little credit for drafting him when he passed him over six times before drafting him. He had Brady at roughly the same place on his board as the rest of the NFL did. He was just lucky enough to have Dick Rehbein on his staff, the guy who convinced Belichick to take the shot on Brady. Belichick may go down as the greatest coach of all time, but Brady made that possible. The numbers dont lie, he is 61-72 with one playoff birth without Brady.

I completely disagree. He was a good coordinator under Bill Parcells in NYG. Otherwise without Brady he had already lost a job in Cleveland, and was on his way out of NE when Bledsoe was almost killed by Mo Lewis. Brady saved his career.

The best coach of all time who is sub .500 without Brady.

Outside of the elbow drop you have a guy that publicly admitted to faking his offseason workouts. Not something that screams Growth Mindset.

I dont believe so. Just interesting they've brought in both Lawson and Roberts.

The Patriots offseason strategy feels a lot like the one the Bills would implement during the drought.

Culley going after those former Bills.
