Believe it or not, the Patriots begin training camp a week from today. Rookies report tomorrow! With that in mind, here are five things I think will happen this season: The Patriots will make the playoffs The AFC is loaded. There will be at least one, and perhaps two, really good teams that miss the playoffs. The Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, Jaguars are locks from my view. You can probably throw…
Sunday turned into a bad day for the New England Patriots. Reports started flying left and right early in the afternoon that DeAndre Hopkins was choosing the Titans over the Patriots in free agency with camps around the league set to start next week. Tennessee is giving Hopkins a 2-year, $26 million dollar deal with incentives while reports had the Patriots significantly under that. Now, was Hopkins ultimately always going…

The Patriots kick off training camp on July 26th. Before rookies report next week, I will rank the Patriots fifteen best players in the order heading into this season. The list is 1. Matthew Judon, EDGE: Judon is not only the heart and soul of the defense, he is the heart and soul of the team. Signed as a free agent in 2021, Judon has been worth every penny of his…

Every seat in Frankfurt Stadium will be filled on November 12 when Mac Jones, Bill Belichick and the rest of the Patriots take the field against a (most likely) mediocre Indianapolis teams.

Another day, another loyal guy to Bill Belichick getting a new contract. A day after DeVante Parker’s new deal, Ja’Whaun Bentley received a two-year, $18.75M max deal from the team that includes $9 million fully guaranteed. Much like the Parker deal, the biggest reason for this new deal is loyalty. Bill Belichick needs to keep as many guys as possible fully bought in after last year’s debacle and he’s now…
