New England revamps it's entire WR corp

The RB had to go, but now what? You should've offered more than the Jets for Thomas Jones. Their flipping of 2nd round picks wasn't exactly a blockbuster offer.

Yep. I haven't followed too much of what's been going on. I've been busy at work, skiing and studying for promotion (only checking into the boards once in awhile).

I'm torn about the money that they've paid out for the OL so far. For way too many years our OL has been a pathetic joke. I would love to have a line that can give the QB some time and open up some holes. So if the line manages that..... I think I might be able to live with the cash output.

I don't know what is going to happen with the RB's. I'm not sorry to see WM leave at all. He was a Randy Moss type a player IMO - he played when "he felt like it". I like the "A Train" (he at least ran N & S instead of dancing around behind the line hoping for a highlight reel opportunity), but I don't believe he's the sole answer.

Marv - I can't wait to see what all he accomplishes... but whatever happens it's gotta be for the better.

Good signings. Its a no Brainer for players. WHo wouldnt want to play for the Pats?

Chiefs are ****ed in the WR department. I wonder if they are targetting a WR in the first round this year. Hopefully we can get someone that can play.

This has been one of the best (read: oddest) FA seasons in New England that I can ever remember and I am loving it!

The more women Tom knocks up the more receivers he gets.......

We'll see how it all works out... if the Pats were an AFCW team, the sentiment on this board would be that NE just spent a bunch of money on a malcontent WR that is injured a lot (DS) and two guys that haven't been more than nice working parts on other teams.

Regarding Washington, I have always thought that he was ready to break out once Ocho Cinco or TJ Houshyourdaddy got hurt. He'll definitely have his chance.

Ultimately, Washington and STallworth are both on 1 year deals. If one of them turns into the real DEAL, and Welker is what we expect him to be -- a younger Troy Brown, then I'll be fine with this.

The key is that we don't need all of these guys to break out to have done well. As usual, the Pats are spreading their bets.
