Pats now have 101 million in cap space - What would you do with that?

Sign Cousins, draft Marvin Harrison Jr. Seems pretty straightforward.

 

I'd be surprised if they didn't go QB in this draft.

 

I'm really hoping it's Maye.  It would be kind of like Bledsoe, the sequel.  Bledsoe was a fine QB, but nowhere near the top QB's currently playing in the AFC.

The thing about having that much cap space it means you have very few players on your roster that are worthy of extensions so you have little depth to begin with. 

You can go out and sign a bunch of free agents but then you gotta hope once they get big dollars that they aren’t going to just take it easy and not really going to play all out. 
Still the Pats can completely rebuild their roster with that kinda coin and probably still finish last in their division.

And NO franchise QB, No real cornerstone players, & are starting all over again right where the Bills were say 8 years ago ?? Once you have the franchise QB everything changes for that team when it comes to the cap ! 

 

Then when you find "That Guy" you have 5 years to make it work the Bills are 1 of the examples of how a team comes up to be a much better team that is in the hunt every year .

 

The Pats under BB set the standard of how to keep it going for many many years by releasing veterans & not paying them, bring ing in younger talent or other lessor FA's to keep them relevant with out breaking the bank . 

 

Then there are the Saints ...

Kick Cousins and 31yo Mike Evans make them one of the best offenses in the league on paper? Lol.

 

They would still easily be the 4th best team in the division. 

 

Huh?  Kirk Cousins is a top 10 QB that targets his #1 guys.  Mike Evans is Mike Evans.  He's playing better than Diggs with Baker Mayfield at QB. 

 

Evans, Devante Parker and Harrison Jr are a damn good trio, with Stevenson and Ekeler at RB.  

 

This Bills lost to Mac Jones and you think this team would be pushovers?

I would trade a 3rd for Russell Wilson. 

Draft Marvin Harrison 

Sign Mike Evans to s 3 yr deal

Sign Henry to a 2 year deal

Keep Jones as a backup for one more year

Use rest of the cap and draft on OL and DL

 

 

I can understand your first two lines but putting OL and DL as the afterthoughts after a bunch of offense is not really how good teams get built.  The teams that wn the SB focus heavlily on OL and DL.

With MHJr yea that's a nice looking O. I was replying as if they took Maye. 

 

Cousins is coming off an Achilles and Evans is getting up there in age. Plus an unproven defensive HC. I still don't think they'd be a major threat in the AFC but yea they wouldn't be pushovers.

Yeah I agree but their DL is already pretty good. 

I guess I put them after the other ones because I don't have any specific players to target. Maybe Tyron Smith as it looks like Dallas is going to let him go. He is still very good and can play either OT spot probably for a few more years.

For a season or 2, they'd be trouble.

 

It's definitely not a long term solution.

Sign a bunch of the free agent Tight Ends again

 

Now that the "greatest GM of all time" is gone, they will likely do something more logical.
