Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season: Free Agency, Draft Part III

[Mione134]

If you were giving me odds on whether he makes the roster or not, I'd guess 'Cut' is the favorite.

Let's assume they're keeping their usual 5 WRs. Douglas, Bourne, Polk, and Baker are roster locks, so that leaves one spot. He's fighting Osborn, Reagor, Boutte, and Thornton for that final spot. Even if they do keep 6, he's not going to take a 6th spot because he adds no special teams value.

I don't see Juju making this team

Hard take lol

 

[Troublesome 85]

Imo WR is

Bourne Douglas Baker Polk Osborn and one of Thornton\Reagor

I would agree.

Thornton is on the bubble too. Let's hope in the off-season he learned how to run a route.

My condolences to all Zappe fans

Hard take lol

I would not bring Smith-Schuster back, I think he is bad Juju.

 

[EverettMike]

Think Juju would count even more against the cap if they cut him, so might as well see if he's healthy. I suppose.

f***ing hell.

Bourne Douglas Baker Polk Osborn and one of Thornton\Reagor

I keep Raegor over Thornton because of the emphasis on kick returns with the new rules

Didn't Juju say he's (supposedly) at 100% now and was only at 60% last year?

f***ing hell.

They have like 50 million in cap space. Just eat that money now and don't worry about it if he shows up to camp still looking washed up

According to him, yes.

I want to know why we signed a guy who was clearly hurt and had bone on bone in his knees last year. Just all around bad mgmt.

 

[Supersonic]

Remember that Bourne is still recovering/not practicing fully yet so he probably starts on PUP. Could mean that the 5 that make it are Juju, Osborn, Polk, Baker, Douglas and then pending injuries or maybe an early season trade we see what happens with Juju.

edit I also agree it’s frustrating that it’s more expensive to cut him lol but I’m wondering who would want to trade for him at this point.

f***ing hell.

If he's a post-June 1st cut, they save $650k. And like @BernieMcAvoy said, they have so much space, it's no big deal.

Ed Werder out at ESPN after 26 years in stunning development

The tone of his statement indicated it was not a mutual decision.

What’s up with the Maye panic all over youtube?

Hahah I guess we’re reaching the point where you can be a bust after 2 weeks of OTAs.

There used to be a time it would take your rookie deal to be called a bust

 

[N o o d l e s]

who cares if you’re 100% of total ass instead of only 60%?

 

[Troublesome 85]

I keep Raegor over Thornton because of the emphasis on kick returns with the new rules

Think they see something in Reagor as well

 

[BigGoalBrad]

This super bowl highlights marathon is great. Eagles 2 rn then Lambs 2.

We actually had some really shitty kicking in some of these games. Vinny missed a couple Carolina one and then Gostkowski stunk vs Atlanta and Philly should have let him try the long one Giants 1.

Bill not bringing Blunt back after the Atlanta win was just mean and him being a bully dude never made more than the minimum and should have been allowed to hang around like White was. Of course he beat us that game.

That Justin Jefferson contract is insanity.

I can’t fathom how you pay anybody $35mil/yr who only touches the ball 6-8 times a game, on a good day. But what do I know….

He impacts every single snap he plays. The defense doesn't just have to account for him, the entire defense is based around stopping him. (Though with someone that good it's not about stopping, merely mitigating.)

He is a threat to score a touchdown every single play. He can completely change the course of a game. Unquestionably one of the best WRs to ever play in the NFL, a physical beast with incredible hands who also runs perfect routes. It's not about just the catches he has, it's about how he reshapes 50% of the game.

Yup, he's one of the rare non QB offensive players that changes the game simply by being on the field. Up there with Moss, Peterson, Gronk
