Patriots/NFL 2024 Playoffs Part 2: Pats have 3rd pick. Mayo new HC. Where does Belichick land? Bill O'Brien to leave Patriots for Ohio State OC job

[Mione134]

Does no one else think it's a big deal BOB is leaving?

I think it confirms the rumors that Bill didn't let BOB bring in any of his guys or coach the way he wanted to. Whatever the deal was, seems he wants no part of the Pats. Gotta think it was as dysfunctional as the reports made it out to be, imo.

By big deal do you mean cause for celebration? I'll have to see who the OC is though.

 

[Oates2Neely]

I’m not buying at all

Who’s the source

Felger & Mazz mentioned the source I’ll have to play it back. I wouldn’t say it sounds far fetched.

I assumed O’Brien was gone because of the circus atmosphere here & also due to his failure to improve the offense. It actually regressed from where Patricia had it. It’s fair to assume him not being able to bring in his own staffers played a huge role in that regression. But I assumed he wanted to get away from the stench of Foxboro for those 2 reasons.

But what's he gonna get at his age coming off that injury? We'll see. Even then, 35m a year seems like a steal these days for good QB play. I actually think signing Cousins AND drafting a QB could work. It's time for the Krafts to spend.


Hopefully he goes with Bill.

Yes hope so

O’Brien to Ohio State and gotta think McDaniels to Atlanta

Everyone in the patriots organization was hired by Belichick logic would think there is going to be massive overhaul

I enjoy Felger & Mazz at times but they are such shitsturbers

there are dozens maybe a hundred of Patriots employees are being let go who are Belichick guys so we are going to get the Kraft narrative

I don’t believe it unless havs a specific name and actual quote

also Belichick brought OBrien back and it was set up way before specifically to work with Mac

Felger spent an entire summer saying Bergeron (36) and Krejci (35) were 40 years old

He’s f’n around

Call it BS on Mac trade

Agree. I’m reading articles that are speculating Fields value at a 2nd or 3rd round pick. The Pats at 34 is maybe overpayment. Maybe their early 3rd (68) and another late round pick. I prefer Fields over Mayfield. Mayfield going to get PAID this offseason. Tampa most likely retaining him.

Yes that would be good a 3rd and maybe a 6th and add a player, maybe they want Parker or Smith-Schuster, but I would hang onto to our 2nd , unless part of a deal to get another 1st rd pick.

Yeah I'm really not liking the recent trend with ownership here. Seems like the past couple years Bill had his hands tied in the trade/FA market. I wonder how many of the bigger names we're all pissed he didn't sign were because ownership said no to the player or the money? There's certainly enough smoke there on that, even back to the Jimmy G trade.

It's never a good thing when ownership starts inserting themselves into football ops. Part of what made the run here possible is Kraft's willingness to sign the checks, get his weekly camera shot in the owner's box and spend his time on ownership committees.

Heard nothing but positives surrounding this from many around the league.

If he wants it, this is the guy.

LOL at the Patriots announcing they won't retain Onwenu. Ya, why bother trying to bring back one of your few capable linemen.

He’s going to get PAID. Not sure what his salary expectations are, and it’ll it would make sense here to a team with no QB or offensive weapons.

Lots of good young new minds being interviewed. I like it.

True, but nothing on offense. I’d hope it isn’t McDaniels. That would signal to me Mac Jones is the starter next season

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

He shouldn't even hit the market. Franchise tag him and get more time to negotiate an extension and if you can't then you still have a year to figure it out.


If they can't agree an extension and then they don't tag him, then Kraft should be getting everything Sox ownership are getting right now for being cheap. The tag on Onwenu would be 9.4 million more in real cash spending for next season than if they use it on Henry and 4.5 million if they used it on Dugger. Of the three tag candidates, Onwenu is the easily the most important to keep around and the real cash spending is the only reason he isn't a Patriot next season.

When did they say this?

Or is this the Jeremy Fowler thing?

Baker didn't fare well in Carolina and Mac has a ton of devoted followers here who would have gone insane if we did that. It would have been the right move but also would have been extremely unpopular.

Just make it official already so we can see who Bill brings with him

Baker didn't fare well in Cleveland either. He got some eyes on his resurgence with the Rams, and he's done very well with the Bucs. Almost as if having a good o-line and weapons helps a QB. Who knew?

If Baker came here this year, he would of looked like what he did in Cleveland with their bad o-line and weapons. And we'd hear BAKER SUCKS chants too.

Going to Tampa he looks like he did in college. I'm happy for him.

I mean is it any question who goes with him?

Judge, Patricia, McDaniels, his two kids

Can't help himself.
