Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season - Mac Jones Traded to Jacksonville - QB Jacoby Brissett signs 1-year contract

[LSCII]

Teams that had a real need at QB have all looked elsewhere to fill the void, what's his market right now? Las Vegas?

The closer it gets to draft day the more likely it is he'll be cut outright.

Look, if Mac could fetch a pick, Fields is surely not going to get cut for nothing. Someone will pony up at least a pick, even if they have a decent qb situation. Like Dallas did last year.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Philly what lmao

 

[Mione134]

They gave this asshole a raise because he was mad we wanted to sign Hopkins, and he STILL sucked, couldn't catch a ball and now the Eagles throw money at him. Good riddance. Good luck getting reps while Brown and Parker are there muhahaha

Resigning a lot of players from a team that finished tied for the second worst record....

Bringing back homegrown players for 2nd contracts is the polar opposite of the last regime

They sucked last year because they had a trash QB with bad WR and an inconsistent at best offensive line. They brought back their best WR and their only consistently good OL.

For instance, Onwenu was the best OL on the market imo- we really gonna criticize bringing him back? He certainly wasn’t why they were 4-13. He was actually probably a big reason why they weren’t 2-15.

Uche isn’t making any money unless he’s really good like the year before this one

Henry was easily the best TE on the market after Schultz signed

Bourne is a big locker room guy and is clearly talented


Do we really have a problem with these moves?

And on that side of the ball all they've done is resign the bad WR, bring back an OL and sign a 3rd down back.

Great job using the 100m cap space to improve the team. Resigning guys and signing 2nd rate FAs is exactly business as usual

No and yes.

No for all the reasons you stated.

Yes because there's also value in bringing in some new blood rather than just running it back.

According to multiple reports, they're one of two finalists for the best WR on the market.

I think we’ll definitely see some new blood, there is still plenty of cap. They just about retained everybody I wanted them to though

Yeah, I'm not mad about any of the guys they re-signed. I think I actually like all of those deals. I certainly don't hate any.

But it certainly is interesting at the very least.

 

[RoccoF14]

If the Patriots are worried the Maye going to Washington and know Daniels doesn’t want to come here, I’d give a 5th for Fields

Take 3 and trade back for a bounty or Harrison

I’d like multiple picks including firsts

You aren't getting Fields for a 5th. A 3rd will get it done, though. Maybe a 4th if the stars align.

 

[smithformeragent]

We’re not going there with the political discussion.

Let’s leave it at that.

Thanks.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

He means Zappe, actually.

I’m with you in that I like Daniels a lot more than Maye, McCarthy, Penix, etc. I feel like those guys are being talked about because of the position they play rather than their actual skills. Any QB other than Williams or Daniels would be a reach at 3 based on need vs where they should actually go.

Agreed.

I'm not a big fan of Maye and McCarthy is being overrated due to Michigan's championship in my opinion.

 

[LSCII]

I like Penix more than Nix myself, that’s mostly why I said what I said. I’ll be uninspired if they draft Nix

My rankings:

1) Caleb
2) Daniels
3) Maye
4) McCarthy
5) Penix
6) Rattler
7)) Nix
8) Bazooka Joe
9) Pratt
10) Jordan Travis

I think once it gets past Williams and Daniels, there's a pretty steep drop off. If you like McCarthy or Penix or Rattler or Maye, that's okay. I'm fine with any of them in round 2. I said Nix mainly because he's a known name and projected to slide into the second round. Rattler too. Maye will be taken early so I don't think he's going to be around if they wanted to do MHJ with the 3rd and then QB in the second round.

Jalen Mills to the Giants

Me going in

No, I don’t. All these moves make sense.

I do however want to see them add some high end talent with all this cap space.

I like Ridley, but I think he’s using the Patriots to up his value in Jacksonville and he’s the best receiver on the market.

I want to see these guys make something happen, they’ve got lots of picks and cash to get it done.

So after 4 pm? (New season starts) Tomorrow the jags can announce the Ridley dignigb and avoid the comp as a second rounder and give a third as trade condition last year
