Patriots Free Agent Targets

     Here's my List of the Top 10 Players I would like to see the Patriots Target this Offseason. I am not including their own Free Agents in the List but I will tell you which of their own Players I would Like to see retained.

1. CB Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee - One of the Most Physical Defensive Backs in the NFL. It's no secret the Patriots need help in the secondary and Finnegan would be a Huge Addition. He can shutdown any teams #1 WR. In my opinion he is one of the Best CB in the NFL.

2. WR Marquise Colston, New Orleans - It's clear the Patriots need a Deep Threat at WR to open up this Offense and in my opinion Colston is the Best on the Market. He is also 6'4" and physical. An ideal WR that Tom Brady needs.

3. WR Brandon Lloyd, St. Louis - Probably the Best Fit at WR for the Patriots. Lloyd has had previous success in Josh McDaniels' system. A speedster who will help stretch the field for the Patriots Offense.

4. WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis - Veteran WR who still has something left in the Tank. Unlike Ochocinco for example, Wayne is smart and will pick up the Offense.

5. CB Brent Grimes, Atlanta - Another physical CB who can lock down a teams #1 WR and really help the Patriots Secondary.

6. S Tyvon Branch, Oakland - If McCourty returns to CB the Patriots will need another S and I love Branch. He is excellent against the run but is also extremely solid in Coverage. Him and Chung would be a Perfect pairing at Safety.

7. DE Robert Mathis, Indianapolis - The Patriots need a Pass Rushing DE who can be just good enough against the Run and Mathis fits the bill. I look at Mathis as a slightly better version of Andre Carter.

8. OLB Anthony Spencer, Dallas - The Patriots need an upgrade at OLB especially if the Patriots play more 3-4 next season and wanna leave Spikes and Mayo on the Inside. Spencer is a veteran who has played in both 3-4 and 4-3 Defenses and can get after the QB.

9. OLB Ahmad Brooks, San Francisco - Brooks is a solid Pass Rushing OLB. He fits the mold of what Belichick likes out of his OLB position.

10. WR Mario Manningham, New York - As we saw first hand here in New England Manningham makes big plays in big Games. He might not be a #1 WR but he is a very good #2.

Just missed the Cut: WR Pierre Garcon (IND), CB Tracy Porter (NO), S Laron Landry (WAS), DE John Abraham (ATL), S Michael Griffin (TEN)

Patriots Free Agents I would like to see back: RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, DE Mark Anderson, WR Wes Welker, WR Deion Branch, C Dan Connolly, S James Ihedigbo

A few Players I would not wanna see the Patriots go after: WR DeSean Jackson (PHI), WR Stevie Johnson (BUF), CB Rashean Mathis (JAX), OLB Manny Lawson (CIN), OLB Jarret Johnson (BAL)

The U Scandal

     Here we go again, another Major College Football Scandal and this time it's the U. Am I supposed to be surprised? First it was USC, then Ohio State, and now Miami. I think it's becoming a realization that every Big Time Program was Receiving Benifits. College Football is a cesspool for this kind of Shit. As for Miami it's self, this comes as no shock. Think about the Life Style down there, and the Players that attended the U. A lot of the Players that went to the U grew up in Less Fortunate situations and weren't going to pass up Money when giving the opportunity. Then there's the Life Style, have you ever been to Miami? When your down there you can't help but wanna Party, Drink, hit up the Strip Clubs, hang out on the Yachts, Live it up on South Beach. It's pretty obvious this Shit was going down and you know what, it's not a big deal to me. I don't blame those kids for wanting to Live it up. College Athletes should get paid anyways but we

Stidham Time

I’m done with Cam Newton. If I’m going to be completely honest, I was done with Cam Newton after those back to back losses to Denver and San Francisco in October. But, over the next four games he was decent and the team started to win so I bit my tongue and accept him as the starting QB. But now he’s on a streak of three of the worst games I’ve ever seen a QB play and his piss poor play throughout the year has all but cost the Patriots a chance at a playoffs. Over the last three games he has posted a QB rating of 23.6, 87.4 and 53.9. In the game where he posted the 87.4, he had 69 yards passing. In those three games he had just one passing touchdown to three interceptions while completing just 56% of his passes. Long story short, he can’t throw the football.  Sure, he’s made some plays with his legs and has scored a bunch of rushing touchdowns but that’s not what you’re looking for from your QB. It’s certainly not what I’m looking for. I want a QB who can make plays with his arm. I wan

Patriots Free Agent Wish List

Here's a list of NFL free agents I would love to see the Patriots target in free agency. This is more of a wish list than a list of realistic possibilities. I'd be happy if the Patriots signed just a few of these players.  1. Donte Whitner, S - Love me some Whitner. This Ohio State Buckeye is a hard hitting Safety who would bring instant physicality to the Patriots D. He is the perfect compliment to McCourty. He would also bring a veteran presence and leadership.  2. Eric Decker, WR - It's time to give Tom Brady a legit playmaking outside receiver. Some would argue Decker isn't even that but I'm not one of them. He is a big physical receiver who makes explosive plays down field. He would fit in perfect here and remember Josh McDaniels drafted Decker in Denver.   3. Aqib Talib, CB - This is the Patriots biggest free agent this year and they must find a way to resign him. When Talib is healthy he is a difference maker on this Defense.  4. Vonte Davis, CB - If the Patr
