My latest projection of the Patriots 2025 salary cap space number after accounting for the Mack Hollins' $300K LTBE incentive.  Now have the Patriots with $80.8M in cap space and with $54.7M in effective cap space.

I am waiting on details of these four deals (Garrett Bradbury, K'Lavon Chaisson, Jack Gibbens, Wes Schweitzer).

Patriots showing interest in versatile veteran offensive lineman According to a source, the Patriots are showing interest in versatile veteran offensive lineman

According to a source, the Patriots are showing interest in versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari. They're one of several teams interested in the free agent veteran www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

The Patriots played a long stretch of games last year where the only player who could even remotely impact the QB was Keion White. They’ve added 2 guys in Harold Landry & Milton Williams who can also get after the passer.

Pretty good. Lots of money but everyone's getting lots of money

WOW. That's a huge deal. My guess is NE didn't want to have a four year deal. Still got Cam Robinson out there.

The #Patriots should be shifting their focus to Levi Onwuzurike, wouldn’t be surprised to see a deal come together rather quickly.

Spillane is a solid player. Was very curious to see how the new staff would address the linebacker position, where the incumbent starters (Ja'Whaun Bentley and Jahlani Tavai) are *very* Belichick-coded starters.

Really wonder who ends up the odd man out there

Off the team?

Love the fit with Spillane in New England.

A former UDFA who is a physical presence in the middle of the defense.

Such a perfect Vrabel guy.

Deal for Spillane is for $37 million over 3 years. Not sure of the guarantees yet.

10.03.2025 16:50 β€” πŸ‘ 28    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 1

Spillane is one of those signings that just works. He isn't a headliner, but could easily be the top LB for this team. All-around well rounded.

Spillane to the Pats is a good move for them. Big fan of his game.

LB Robert Spillane to the New England Patriots, per Jeremy Fowler. 3-years, $37M for the middle linebacker

Spillane was a highly productive 2-year starter in Las Vegas. He had 158 tackles, 2 INTs, 2 sacks and 7 PBUs last season.

Spillane entered the league as a UDFA under Mike Vrabel Tennessee in 2018.

At 6-foot-1 and 229 pounds, he represents the Pats' new prototype at LB.

10.03.2025 16:43 β€” πŸ‘ 52    πŸ” 9    πŸ’¬ 5    πŸ“Œ 2

Listed Spillane as an excellent fit for the style of defense the Pats want to play on the All 32 pod Friday. Has had some injury issues, but when he's on the field, flows to the ball well.

10.03.2025 16:43 β€” πŸ‘ 36    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 1

Spillane has run defense grades of 89.0 and 87.3 the last two seasons. He isn't much of an asset in coverage, but he makes the Patriots better.

Another sign that the #Patriots are changing the scheme on defense. Spillane is a 229-pound ILB. Good downhill run defender and interior blitzer. Spillane plays fast, can really fly around.

When no numbers are mentioned it usually indicates the numbers are not large.

He's good! Don't be negative ( we dont know numbers yet)

No Chris Godwin. No Ronnie Stanley.

The #Patriots are already being forced to begin pivoting to Plan B at the top of their free-agent board. They need Milton Williams to prevent any further slide to Plan C.

Shedeur probably has big fans in the building and also big detractors

Adam Schefter says he’s not very confident that the Browns will select a QB at No. 2….

10.03.2025 16:36 β€” πŸ‘ 21    πŸ” 5    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

I'd rather "miss out" on a WR2 cosplaying as a WR1 than overpay by more than half his total salary, giving myself less of an opportunity to fix other aspects of my dreadful roster.

IDK, maybe that's just me.

The unfortunate part is that's probably the same income given him being in florida right now
