I don't know about you, but I hate the Patriots. I don't hate people, but I do intensely disrespect some. However I hate the whole of the Patriots organization.
I hated it before they were exposed as cheaters and I really hate the Pats now.
I would love to see Stephen Ross and friends join in my extreme hostility and make it a point to sign all of their good free agents this offseason.
Which players? Glad you asked.
1st Leigh Bodden. PFF had Bodden rated 14th and I think the NFL had him 8th best in the league last year. He had a good year and it will cost a pretty penny to lure him in, but he was by far their best corner last year and it would hurt them to lose him.
And he is a lot better than the next available corner in FA.
It may force them to use another pick on a CB in this year's draft.
But the Dolphins are set at CB. I agree, but the Dolphins have three CB's who I think could move to FS and be good, and Vontae Davis may actually be a great FS. I think Will Allen and Sean Smith could do well there as well. I like the idea of Allen and Bodden starting at corner with Allen moving to the nickel and Smith coming in on passing downs and playing the edge.
Ben Watson....Might cost some money as well but as far as a pass catching threat, there is nobody else in FA or the draft that compares. He just recently ran a 4.5 forty again. He hasn't slowed down at all.
Another thing about Watson is he scored a 48 on his wonderlic; the guy has an IQ of 172. He probably remembers every play the Pats ran last year. He could probably recount clearly any kind of information about coaching or plays that you wanted to know.
Stephin Neal has publicly declared he is not retiring and will test the free agent market. Neal graded out as the 2nd best OG in the NFL last year according to PFF.
Thomas let us down last year but Garner came through very well, however, I think they like having Garner backing up both RG and RT.By acquiring Neal we would have a great player at a need position and be able to draft a guy in the 4th or 5th and give him a year or two to develop. I like the law student Chris Scott from Tennessee.
It would cost ownership plenty, but it sure would be sweet IMO.
What do you think?? Too much money??
