The latest on the Patriots:
- The Patriots didn’t just have Adrian Peterson in for a visit on Monday, they also put him through a tryout, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe tweets. Peterson left New England without a contract, but it has been said that the two sides could revisit a deal later. New England’s running back group currently consists of free agent addition Rex Burkhead, Dion Lewis, James White, and D.J. Foster. The team could also still circle back to LeGarrette Blount and Branden Bolden.
- The Patriots have some interest in Richard Sherman, a source tells Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald (on Twitter), but they’re not expected to engage in a full-on pursuit unless they lose Malcolm Butler. Other teams have pursued the Seahawks star more aggressively to this point, Howe adds. On Wednesday, Seattle GM John Schneider publicly admitted that the trade talk surrounding Sherman is “real.” Sherman, has two years left on a hefty four-year extension he signed in 2014, but any team trading for him would only be on the hook for his base salary and not his prorated signing bonus.
- Earlier this week, we learned that Patriots tight end and professional wrestling enthusiast Rob Gronkowski expects to be ready for OTAs.
Jeez if the Pats add Sherman and Peterson I’d be ecstatic. One shot to go after that perfect season. I don’t see any holes on the roster if they add them.
I rather have Blount over peterson. and we still have d. Lewis and j white now bolden back with us
Absolutely ridiculous they don’t resign Blount.
I’d go for Peterson because he’s got a higher ceiling. Burkhead, Lewis, and White would be sufficient even if Peterson craps his pants and can’t average more than 3 yards.
I wouldn’t mind seeing an upgrade at DE or LB to pair with HT but yeah Connor at that point wow. They might go into the season with the most complete talented (on paper) team is history. It almost makes you feel bad for the other teams fans, almost.
Yeah a LB would be good, but with that team they’d survive without one. They always make a trade for an Akeem Ayers type later on anyway.
I wonder how all these Pats fans that hate Sherman so much will feel if Seattle trades him to NE? I am sure their tune will change and he will be the best CB in the league and his trash talk will be funny. It is funny how a fans perspective changes when the player is suddenly on your team. To be honest can you take Graham with him? I have never cared for him thought the trade was dumb and wished we would have traded him and signed Bennett. But some players I admit I change my attitude on when they come to my team.
As a Pats fan I will always hate Sherman. Nothing will change that.
I don’t hate Sherman, honestly I enjoy the shenanigans. Sure, he talks crap, but l love it. I like the scrappy guys people hate. Stuff like when Lance Stephenson blew in Lebron’s ear.
Oh my god with Jimmy Graham as the 2nd TE? Don’t even play the season at that point haha.
Pats fans hate sherman? Did you take a poll or are you basing this on internet memes making his 2 two four image
Yeah haha that meme was funny.
Sherman, Jimmy Graham, a 2018 4th rounder, and a 2017 6th rounder for Butler, a ’18 first, ’18 third, and a ’19 4th. Assuming picks in ’19 are tradeable. I’m not too sure about the trading rules in the NFL.
Oops and a ’19 second. Forgot to add that.
Sherman and Gilmore: The Lockdowns with Lucious Locks. I can see it already.
Connor….kinda of a man lover
Lol
If the Patriots sign Tony Romo from CBS and they have him and Tom Brady I could see it now….the pretty boys QB club
