New England Patriots sign Joseph Addai
This deal makes a lot of sense. The Patriots top 2 backs are very inexperienced, while Addai is experienced, but might not have anything left in the tank. This deal is basically a “see what he has deal.” He’ll be brought into Training Camp and if the 29 year old back doesn’t have anything left in the tank, the Patriots can cut him and only owe him a 75K signing bonus and...

Wes Welker tags out: Signs franchise tender
Wes Welker realized resistance is futile in the New England Patriots system. Welker tried to stay away as long as possible, he tried and failed. It’s hard to call Welker a loser since he’ll at least collect a 9.5 million payday in 2012. However, Welker knew the longer the acrimony, the further he would get to a multi year deal.
Welker signed the one year franchise tender...

Welker: 9.5 million reasons to play
Looks like Wes Welker can be counted on to take the field once the regular season starts.
At least that's what he said on WEEI's 'Mut & Merloni' show, stating "there are 9.5 million reasons why I wouldn't miss any regular-season games,".
The Patriots placed the franchise tag on him March 5th, earning him an automatic $9.5 million for the 2012 season...

Patriots’ Josh McDaniels looks forward to WR competition
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has been back with the team for a few months now, but spoke with the media for the first time Friday, at the opening of rookie camp. The Patriots offense was largely a well-oiled machine in 2011, but it did lack a deep threat. Currently, New England has

Marcus Forston NFL Draft Analysis - 2010 Season (by TMBDraft)
Interesting analysis of Patriots rookie free agent Marcus Forston. We’ve talked about it ad nauseum but the need for true interior rushers is one of the most under-mentioned needs for the Pats.
Forston clearly has the ability to get off the snap quickly. He should give Myron Pryor and Jonathan Fanene some competition.

Patriots Rookie Eyeball Test: Chandler Jones
Really praying that 95 is not the final number for Jones. Just not feeling that one at all. Similar to Hightower we just don’t have a whole lot to work with.
Helmet choice? I guess it’s okay. Wake me up when the pads come on.
Final Grade: How many days till training camp?

Patriots Rookie Eyeball Test: Dont’a Hightower
I’m thrilled about Hightower the player don’t get me wrong, but I’m seeing a real lack of flair. While I’m happy he didn’t stick with the facemask he wore at Alabama, this one’s kind of the vanilla choice. At least Spikes has the audacity to wear a tinted visor.
There’s no chance he keeps number 45 in the regular season...

Patriots break tradition, bolster defense to help Tom Brady
The New England Patriots moved up not once, but twice in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft in order to strengthen a defense that ranked 31st in the league in 2011. Traditionally, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has traded down in previous drafts in order to stockpile picks for future use, but after losing

New England Patriots helmet concept design
Charles Sollers, a photographer from Missouri for Rivals.com has created a new concept design for the New England Patriots helmets. By now you have probably seen some of Sollers work as he also has provided images of college team helmets and uniforms. As Nike takes over the NFL uniforms there were little changes made, but
