Brandon Spikes likely done in New England after this season
Tom Curran of CSNNE.com believes that it’s pretty obvious that linebacker Brandon Spikes will be playing his final season with the Patriots in 2013. The writing on the wall is becoming more legible when it comes to Brandon Spikes. Despite the fact he is the best purveyor of on-field nasty the Patriots have, Spikes’ distaste for the Patriots expectations of how to get ready for...
Vote: Who Will Lead the Patriots in Receptions This Season?
It’s never too early to start thinking about football.
The Patriots are three days into their first voluntary workouts of 2013, and one of the biggest storylines has been quarterback Tom Brady‘s chemistry with his receivers. Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd were the team’s two most productive wideouts in 2012, and both have found roster spots on other teams.
The gaps have been...
Amendola among 9 new receivers on Pats roster
There are plenty of new wide receivers on the field at the New England Patriots' offseason workouts.
Only three of the 12 on the roster are holdovers from last year. Gone are Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Deion Branch. The new group is led by Danny Amendola.
After Tuesday's practice during organized team activities, Amendola said the receivers are working together to help...
Jets have interest in Lloyd
Most of the talk surrounding the New York Jets was the visit with former Browns return extraordinaire Josh Cribbs. ESPN New York reports though that the team is also kicking the tires on former New England Patriots receiver Brandon Lloyd. With what’s left on the market Lloyd could be the teams best option.
There also have been rumors about possible interest in Brandon Lloyd,...
Three Reasons Brandon Lloyd Is a Better Option Than T.O. or Tebow
Every day we see writers claiming that Tim Tebow is the perfect fit for this team or that team. It is especially common in New England, where it is believed that wide receiver is still a weak position after what appears to have been a lack-luster approach during the draft, as well as, free-agency. And it is also claimed that he would provide some sort of change of pace that would...
Patriots Could Take Best-11-Players Approach to Fill X-Wide Receiver Role
With Brandon Lloyd and Wes Welker gone, Tom Brady needs someone to throw to, right?
The Welker role was famously filled by free agent Danny Amendola, who is expected to play Z receiver in two-wide sets and slot receiver in three-wide sets. But Lloyd’s role in the offense will be the best competition to watch as rookie mini-camp, OTAs and training camp draw near.
There are four...
The Patriots take big outside receiver Aaron Dobson
Dobson was one of the highest ranked Wide Receiver prospects, and the Patriots now get their guy to replace Brandon Lloyd
He is a bigger receiver to maybe finally give Tom Brady someone to throw the ball up to on the outside. Dobson is 6-3 and from Marshall. Remind you of anyone? (Randy Moss was 6-4 out of Marshall). He is also known for having great hands.
Mike Mayock did say...
2013 NFL Draft Team Needs: New England Patriots
1. Wide Receiver: Everyone knows the Wes Welker debacle, and Brandon Lloyd was also cut. Amendola was brought in, but he's injured so often it's hard to count on him. The only other targets on the roster are two more injury prone players; Julian Edelman and Donald Jones. New England could easily double up on wideouts early in the draft. I find it hard to believe they pass...
Patriots almost have to draft a wide receiver
Now that the New England Patriots no longer have Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd and couldn’t land Emmanuel Sanders in free agency, they almost have to draft a wide receiver in next week’s NFL draft. I know the Pats signed Danny Amendola and I believe he can be even better than Welker, if he can stay healthy, and that’s a big if. I know the New England has a great duo ins Aaron...
Patriots likely won’t be bringing back Brandon Lloyd
After releasing wide receiver Brandon Lloyd last month, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network doesn’t believe the New England Patriots will end up bringing him back at a lower price.
I believe whether New England acquires a player like Emmanuel Sanders or not, the Patriots won’t bring back Lloyd. If they don’t land Sanders, I think they’ll draft a receiver instead of re-signing...
