While taking a picture of the Tom Brady statue a person said to a couple of wife’s family member he was surprised to see a couple of French Canadiens there. My wife’s parents were born in Canada

Gillete Stadium is getting ready to host the World Cup

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

The Patriots do not draft a wideout in the first four rounds. They have bad injury luck. No UDFA wideout stands out.

🥇 Pinheiro Braathen just won Brazil’s first ever medal at the Winter Olympics, and it’s a GOLD in the giant slalom.

It’s actually the first medal of any kind at the Winter Olympics for any country in all of South America.

I doubt the Raiders trade Crosby for something a great deal less than the Micah Parsons trade. Might as well keep him. In other words, I believe a godfather trade will be needed to acquire him

Demario Douglas. A #4/#5 receiver who provides very little on special teams is not worth one percent of the cap. Unless the Patriots run into bad injury luck Douglas will not be on the Patriots roster Week 1 at his current $3.6M salary.

It would be great to have a Maxx Croby-level edge guy, but not at his price. Anyway, this seems to be a good draft class to go fishing for an OLB/Edge (Crosby was a 4th-rounder in 2019).

Puts Gonzo in the top-5 (cap hit) for corners in 2027, at least till Witherspoon resets the market.

Like Crosby on the field as a player.

That being said, the amount of assets it would take (agree w/ you that’ll it’ll take more than #31) to acquire him, think it doesn’t make sense for us.

Especially with the holes on the roster and need to hit on draft picks with Maye on his rookie deal.

Boy does it feel good to be functional enough that we can get back to ‘draft & develop’ and not throw a 21-year old into the frying pan from Day 1 again

Figure skating implosions are generally pretty unpleasant to watch

Craig Woodson finished his rookie year with PFF’s highest run defense grade among safeties with at least 100 such snaps

Malinin had so much pressure on him. Tough.

Ilia Malinin

Falls.

And falls again.

This arena is shocked.

Agree with Phil the Patriots will be drafting their right tackle of the future with the 31st overall pick.

I think the Patriots would have to include a 2027 1st or 2nd to have a chance.

Tonga highlighted.

A statement from the NFLPA:

Patriots QB coach Ashton Grant has decided to remain in New England rather than discuss the vacant offensive coordinator job with the Las Vegas Raiders. Grant now officially will be staying in New England to continue helping with the development of Drake Maye.

Original post

I doubt the best offer the Raiders will get for Maxx Crosby is the 31st overall pick and a player.

If the Colts do not tag Alec Pierce the Patriots should duplicate their 2025 offer to Chris Godwin.

I doubt Demario Douglas will be on the Patriots roster Week 1.

FWIW - Derek Stingley Jr. signed his extension on March 17th so you have some time to sharpen your pitchforks😂

Here's my guess at a Mike Onwenu extension. This deal would create $10M in cap space.

If the Patriots trade away two first-round picks and a Kenny Clark comparable (Christian Barmore?) for Maxx Crosby they would be in effect replacing Barmore's 2026/2027 cap hits for Crosby's.

Doubt the Patriots would ever cripple themselves cap-wise.

Patscap’s Christian Gonzalez’s Projected Extension with Patriots following Albert Breer's blueprint 2026 Age 23 Salary- $2,809,482 2024 Signing Bonus Proration - $1,995,976 2026 Signing Bonus Proration - $6M Active Roster Bonus - $1.05M Offseason Workout Bonus - 225K Cap Number - $12,080,458 Cash - $34,09,482 2027 Age 24 Salary- $17.5M 2026 Signing Bonus Proration - $6M Active Roster Bonus - $1.275M Offseason Workout Bonus - 225K Cap Number - $25M Cash - $19M 2028 Age 25 Salary- $20M 2026 Signing Bonus Proration - $6M Active Roster Bonus - $1.275M Offseason Workout Bonus - 225K Cap Number - $27.5M Cash - $21.5M 2029 Age 26 Salary- $23M 2026 Signing Bonus Proration - $6M Active Roster Bonus - $1.275M Offseason Workout Bonus - 225K Cap Number - $30.5M Cash - $24.5M 2030 Age 27 Salary- $24.543M 2026 Signing Bonus Proration - $6M Active Roster Bonus - $1.275M Offseason Workout Bonus - 225K Cap Number - $32.043M Cash - $26.043M $50.3M fully guaranteed at signing. $93.3M total guarantee Total Cash - $125,352,482 2028 salary becomes fully guaranteed in March of 2027 2029 salary becomes fully guaranteed in March of 2028 New Money APY - $35,000,000 Paper Money APY - $25,070,496

Albert Breer projects Christian Gonzalez to receive a $35MAPY extension. Here is my guess at what it would like. Agents will focus on the $35M New Money APY while the front office will focus on the $25M Paper Money APY.

Figured this could be the case given how impressive Zack Kuhr was down the stretch as interim DC

The #Patriots could (relative) have continuity at all three coordinator spots entering 2026

The Dynasty Fantasy Football Pack.

This will be updated constantly. If you know someone who should be on here (yourself included), let me know.

Can imagine Williams landing some sort of assistant/associate HC position.

While Kuhr is likely a strong candidate, have to wonder if this clears a path for Shane Bowen to join New England. Longtime friend of Vrabel was let go this past season by the NYG.
