Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com recently conducted an online chat with some fans of the New England Patriots and indicated that wide receiver Brandon Lloyd may not be back next season.
I think we’ll see Edelman back, but Lloyd and Welker aren’t locks in my view. A lot will depend on the market/economics. I’m interested to see how they approach it.
Reiss believes Lloyd coming back will depend on if the Patriots believe he’s worth keeping around.
If they keep him, it’s a $4.5m cap charge. Just comes down to if they think he’s worth that, as opposed to cutting him (post June 1 would be $1 million in dead money for 2013 and another $1 million in dead money for 2014, if I have my math right). I think he has value. Just not sure how the coaching staff assesses it as it relates to economics.

The Patriots did not make the Super Bowl, what is their biggest need?
Here is my first look at the NFL Draft. There are a lot of teams that need quarterbacks this year. The problem, there are not enough QB's in the draft.
I expect to see teams trying to trade down, will they have any takers?

“I’d love him to be around,” Kraft said, per Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald. “Like I’ve said all along, it takes two sides to make a transaction…I think Wes wants to be with us, and we want him here. It’s just a matter of whether both sides can be...

A fan named Joshua asked ESPN’s Adam Schefter if Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola could end up replacing Wes Welker in New England.
It’s definitely possible, Joshua. Amendola is a poor man’s, younger, cheaper Welker. If New England can’t re-sign Welker, it would not be surprising in the least if the Patriots made a run at Amendola. You’re not the first person who has thought...

Rob Gronkowksi: Patriots Tight End Partied Shirtless, With Arm Injury, In Baton Rouge
Rob Gronkowski had a pretty good 2012 campaign for himself, even after breaking his forearm twice. Gronk needs to rehab and get himself prepared for next season with the New England Patriots, so what better way to do that by partying with college coeds?
Gronkowski was photographed by a reddit user partying at a bar named “Bogie’s” in Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge is a good 80 miles...

Robert Kraft wants Wes Welker to remain a member of the New England Patriots. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen.
The wide receiver will become a free agent in March if New England fails to sign him to a new contract or hit him with the franchise tag for the second year in a row, this time at a rate exceeding $11 million dollars.

I will go on record right now and predict that Ed Reed will be wearing a Patriots jersey next season. It's just a matter of time. He needs to get done with this whole Super Bowl thing this year, so he can get back to it next year.

Lots of great discussion this morning with some knowledgeable Pats fans on Twitter about the fate of Danny Woodhead. The Pats have a plethora of young running backs, but Woodhead is definitely the most reliable and experienced. If they re-sign him how does it affect Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden and Jeff Demps? Ridley’s got a firm spot but there are some interesting trickle down...
