Latest blog from Reiss is up. Says that another source confirmed the agreement in principle; he also reports that WR Tim Dwight has signed a 4 year deal with the Jets.

Jsinger. You are a f***ing idiot. Please dont say ludicrous things like that ever again, especially without a source.

 

Michael Holley is more of a source than you are. I'll listen to him because of his ties that he has in the NFL.

do we want to lose evryone to free agency? we haven't done anything but lose players and met with one guy I think.

Edinger was in Foxboro this afternoon before they even knew about the Vinatieri signing. They also have reportedly contacted Vanderjagt's agent.

I'd like to say something to those that are complaining about the Pats FO. As a Redskins fan I've seen folly after folly ever since Bobby Bethard split town and headed back to San Diego. That man could build a football team, and this current Pats FO can too. Appreciate that. What they have done is nothing short of spectacular when you consider the obstacles that the salary cap and free agency place in front of teams trying to stay on top. Just my 2 cents.

Edinger has kicked outdoors in Chicago. I would look at him before vanderjerk.

[Cityofchampions33]

Yeah, plus I just don't like Verderjagt. ORS, I agree, I have fath in Bill and Pioli as much as anyone, just there's no reason why they shouldn't have signed Vinatieri.

[Beckett95]

the guy id like to see come in next year and kick is Stephen Gostkowski, kicker out of Memphis. I was watching some college kickers challenge on ESPN in January and Gostkowski won the accuracy challenge and the distance challenge over all the other top kickers in the country. He looked really good to me. Hes also a pitcher in the Tigers minor league system

[Beckett95]

Patriots re-signed CB Chad Scott.

So that's who they are saving their cap space for. Scott, a former Steeler who earned significant playing time last September before getting hurt, will battle just to earn a roster spot. Mar. 22 - 9:20 pm et

[MC Hammer]

Chad Scott is a bum

They also have reportedly contacted Vanderjagt's agent.

From the best clutch kicker in the league to the Arod of kicking. I love it!

I'm hoping they go with Edinger. I remember last year as a Viking he hit a 56 yard field goal to beat the Packers as time expired. That kick was indoors but to hit a field goal of that length when your season is on the line is pretty clutch. Now I'm not saying he's as good as Adam but he is a suitable alternative.

Also to be noted is that Vanderjagt is turning 36 this year. In which he's entering the point that kickers wear down, Edinger is turning 28

Edinger also spent 5 or 6 seasons with the Bears kicking in cold conditions. He would be the number 1 choice to replace Adam.

[riverside sluggers]

Thoughts on Josh Brown? He's a free agent this season, 26 years old, who has kicked for the Seahawks the last 3 seasons. He's made 63 of 80 FGs (78.8 %) in his career.

[jsinger121]

Hes also I believe a restricted free agent in which Belichick would never give up a draft pick for a kicker.

[riverside sluggers]

Trying to look at what options are available to replace Vinny. The best way to go stands out as Edinger

[Sizzlin22]

If he's unrisrticted I say go for it. If he's restricted then he's not worth giving up a draft pick for.

[jsinger121]

Edinger is unrestricted while Josh Brown is restricted.

[riverside sluggers]

WEEI in Boston's Michael Holley reports that Troy Brown will re-sign with the Patriots. Don't throw away those #80 jerseys just yet. New England is so thin at wideout, Brown could still have a sizeable role as a reserve receiver.

 

Good to know Troy is still going to be around

[jsinger121]

Tom Ashworth signs with the Seahawks.

Also in this link it says the Pats are close to bringing back both Troy Brown and Stephen Neal.

[riverside sluggers]

The Pats have re-signed tail back Heath Evans. In the past 24 hours the Pats have resigned Chad Scott, Heath Evans, and are close to deals with Troy Brown & Stephen Neal.

 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2381167

 

EDIT: Also in this article ... The Raiders have signed Duane Starks, he will be joining Poole in their secondary

[jsinger121]

The deal Ashworth got from the Seahawks was a five-year, $13 million deal. Ashworth will receive $4.5 million in the first year in a combination of bonuses and salary. Thats alittle too pricey for a guy that I believe would have been a backup this year.

[riverside sluggers]

The deal with guard Stephen Neal, is a long term contract. For Brown, he had promised his family that he would stay a Patriot or retire. An official signing is close for him to return.

[ClayBuchholzIsDaFuture]

Wow, what are the Pats doing? Any word on who's going to replace Adam V?

[jsinger121]

Count the Houston Texans among the teams interested in trading for Buffalo receiver Eric Moulds, according to the Houston Chronicle. According to the report, the Patriots are also interested and the Chronicle reports the Bills are asking for a fourth-round draft choice.
