Thanks for posting. I think Reiss is off on Lawrence Guys value. 2 years 8 million? He had a good year.

Evan Lazar @ezlazar · 1h The #Patriots signed LB Michael Pinckney to a future contract today. Pinckney was on the practice squad this past season and had an impressive career at the University of Miami.

Bold prediction for either this offseason or the offseason prior to 2022 (more likely to happen this offseason)...
Pats trade with Texans for Deshaun Watson

Bold prediction for either this offseason or the offseason prior to 2022 (more likely to happen this offseason)... Pats trade with Texans for Deshaun Watson That would be absolutely incredible, but why one earth would Houston so that? What kind of look would it be for Caserio to come in, sign a huge GM deal, and then have one of his first moves be to trade one of the best QBs in the NFL to his former team? Seems like a really fast way to start off on the wrong foot and quickly lose the fan base. I just can’t see it happening.

Only way to get ahead is to trade his chip in. Plus if Watson wants out. He will get out.

I just can’t see Caserio getting that job and then having one of his first big moves be to trade one of the top players in the league to his former team. That would be a really bad look.

Don't see Caserio trading Watson unless he got a haul back ... and has decided to tear it all down which he may ... Texans don't look like they have much talent and with Watt leaving...he may want to start from scratch ....can't see Belichick trading a haul for Watson then paying him.

Can you imagine if Caserio did that? Texan fans would be howling that Caserio was some kind of Patriots double agent.

There is absolutely no way in hell Caserio is going to trade Watson to NE. No way. He would trade him anywhere else in the league before he traded one of the best QBs in the league straight to his former team.

Our chances actually just increased with your proclamation, based on your history of definitive statements.

But do you really think he’s going to take that job and then turn around and trade Watson to NE? Really? Come on.

But do you really think he’s going to take that job and then turn around and trade Watson to NE? Really? Come on. haha I had to! To answer your question, I don't think he would ever WANT to do that, but if Watson wants out, his hands are tied. Jalen Ramsey, Diggs, Bell, even nut bag AB have shown the league that the players are starting to take power back. They can force their way out pretty easily these days. What better trade partner and line of communication to have than BB the guy who made your career? With all that said, I can think of 10-12 teams who would be able(and willing) to offer a better package than we would. So you are most likely correct and we don't have a snow balls chance in hell. Probably end up signing Ryan Fitzpatrick and wallowing in misery for another year.

Thats a good haul of firsts and seconds!!!

He ain’t coming to NE.

If he truly wants out, it’s a matter of when not if. Well he does have a no trade clause so he could block going to shitty teams like Jags(If jags offered the 1 over all another 1 and a 2nd that would be hard to pass up). You get Lawrence on rookie contract and great picks for future building. Nick probably takes that deal. But Watson has total control here. The question is, why would he want to come to NE outside of playing for BB...who notoriously holds receivers last on the pecking order? What do we have to offer Watson, besides a great punter...

PATRICK CHUNG DB, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports opted-out S Pat Chung plans to return to the Patriots in 2021. Chung was one of a biblical wave of opt-outs for the Pats during the COVID-19 season. The 33-year-old is due an exceedingly-reasonable $1.1 million in 2021, so it stands to reason the cap-flush Pats will see what he has left in the tank following a solid 2019. Aside from a one-year sabbatical with the Eagles in 2013, Chung has been with the Pats since 2009.

DONT'A HIGHTOWER LB, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports it's "not known" if opted-out LB Dont'a Hightower plans to return to the Patriots in 2021. Howe isn't reporting on speculation that Hightower might retire, just that it is literally not known what he plans to do. We have not heard a peep about Hightower since he opted out following the birth of his child on July 16. The soon-to-be 31-year-old had a monster season in 2019 and was sorely, sorely missed in the front seven for New England this year. Hightower is due $8 million in 2021, an affordable sum for the cap-flush Pats.

CAM NEWTON QB, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
The Athletic's Jeff Howe expects the Patriots to "seek other alternatives" to re-signing impending free agent Cam Newton. However, Howe reports the Pats have "not ruled out" bringing back the 31-year-old. Howe believes Newton could double the $3.956 million he earned this season if he can prove better health. That is going to be a tall order after Newton's shoulder essentially appeared wrecked down the stretch of 2020. Newton did remain one of the league's most dangerous rushing threats under center. Newton could be entering a stage of his career where he is considered a potential season-saving/game-flipping backup due to his dual-threat. It's also possible teams calculate Newton's shoulder might hold up in No. 2-type sample sizes but no longer under full 16-game rigor.
