Potential Patriots Free Agent Signings

Here is a list of free agents I think the Patriots could realistically sign once free agency begins next Tuesday. The Patriots love value and I believe these players provide that along with filling needs on this football team. 

1. Julian Edelman, WR - Edelman is extremely likely to sign with the Patriots cause he's their guy. He has a great rapport with Tom Brady and we know he excels in the Patriots system. He probably won't cost too much either as he isn't without question marks. 

2. Aqib Talib, CB - Another one of their own, I expect the the Patriots to go hard after Talib. He fits the way the wanna play defense and has been a difference maker on this defense when healthy. He is expected to get more money then last offseason but the Patriots still shouldn't have to break the bank to resign him. 

3. Emmanuel Sanders, WR - The Patriots obviously had interest in Sanders last offseason, I'd expect the same this year. Except this time around Pittsburgh won't be able to match the offer. I'd put good money on Sanders signing with New England. 

4. Malcolm Jenkins, S - Safety is an obvious need for the Patriots and Jenkins is a hard hitting, physical, veteran Safety who would be a great fit next to McCourty. Another big factor is he can be had for a lot less money than some of the top Safeties (ie. Byrd and Ward) on the market.

5. Jared Allen, DE - Still a solid pass rusher and brings a great veteran presence. Allen could come to New England and dramatically improve their pass rush. He is older and should be an affordable option on the D-line. 

6. Dustin Keller, TE - Coming off an injury his stock is way down and he might not be ready to start next season. I think once he gets healthy though this guy is a player. Belichick loves him some Tight Ends, there's no doubt he signs one or two this offseason and Keller would be a great low risk high reward option. 

7. Anthony Spencer, DE - I've always liked Spencer and his versatility. He can play both DE and OLB, he's solid in the run game and as a pass rusher. The thing is he's 30 years old and coming off a season ending injury so his market might not be very high. 

8. Rich Ohrnberger, C/G - The former Patriot is a versatile interior offensive lineman who started at Center for the Chargers at the end of last year including their Playoff games. He could be an upgrade at either Guard or Center for the Patriots and he knows the system. 

9. LeGarrette Blount, RB - I don't think Blount will have a huge market and can be had for cheap money. He played so well here in New England complimenting Ridley and Vereen, I think there's a good chance he returns. 

10. Brandon Browner, CB - Browner has to serve a 4 game suspension to start the year but that's never scared away the Patriots before (see Talib). Browner is a legit Corner when he's actually on the field. When he comes back in week 5 he could instantly be the Patriots best CB. His price tag will obviously be low due to his suspension.

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...

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...
