Opinion: I Think Hightower’s A Goner

by

First off, I’m not writing this to make you mad. I’m really not. It’s just the way I feel, not in a “woah is us” or “we’re doomed” kind of trolling way, but just in an “I’ve been doing this so long I think this is how it’s going to play out” kind of deal.

Second, I love watching Dont’a Hightower play football. I don’t need to recap the big plays he’s made (there are GIFs for that), nor how important he is to the defense, besides the fact that there are no other three-down linebackers on the roster.

I would love nothing more than for the Patriots to sign him to a long term deal.

Unfortunately I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

Chris Long Announces He Won’t Return to Pats

by

Chris Long posted this to Instagram today, letting Pats fans know he won’t be returning.

Thank you Pats Nation. As a player you’ve given so much support to, I owe you an explanation as to why I’ll be moving on in FA… even if it isn’t a big deal. This year and this opportunity gave me a ton. I made lifelong friends in a great locker room and became a champion. I’m so thankful that Coach B (the GOAT) took a chance on me and allowed me the opportunity to play a small part in this wonderful year. This has zero to do with money, etc. It’s the right move in my heart because I want to get back to being the player I was before. I’m thankful for my role this year, but as a competitor, I’m itching to do what I do best. It was important to say thank you personally. You may not remember me much, but I’ll always remember y’all!! #driveforfive #missionaccomplished

Wish it could always be this easy, with players reaching out to the fans to tell them exactly what is going on. Usually free agency happens under a shroud of secrecy, but Long goes out just like he spent this year with the Pats, showing great appreciation for everything that happens in New England from the coach (GOAT) all the way down to the fans like us.

Report: Pats Not “Expected” To Trade Garoppolo

by

Patriots Cardinals Gameplan

Adam Schefter tweeted this morning that the Patriots are “not expected” to trade Jimmy Garoppolo. Does that mean they’re not taking offers? Of course not. Remember the next two months leading up to the draft, and especially during free agency, are all about misinformation.

Remember that when free agency opens next week and you hear that the Patriots are interested in just about every high profile player to hit the open market. That’s the agents doing their part to put a little Patriots shine on their player in hopes of driving up interest and ultimately the price tag.

Well, that works both ways. If the rest of the league believes the Patriots are in no rush to unload Garoppolo they might just try to make an offer the Pats can’t refuse. Let’s face it, there aren’t many quarterback options out there, certainly none of which have half the hype that Garoppolo has after showing incredible poise in the game and a half he played this season.
