And New England strikes again: The Patriots are signing former Chargers' TE Hunter Henry to a three-year, $37.5 million deal, including $25 million guaranteed, per source.
Free agency's top two tight ends, Henry and Jonnu Smith, wind up in New England.
Interesting approach from the Pats. Looks like they're planning to go 12 personnel a lot and play up the run game. Will be interesting to see if they can make that more effective with Newton than last year. Upgrades at TE should help... at least until Henry gets broken again. [Reply]
I almost thumbs downed this post. Not because it’s a bad post but because it was an autonomic nerve function to get that shit away from me.
Blech. Ballard might technically be making sound decisions but give me a guy that will ride or die. And let’s be clear, we might die. But let’s take the shot. [Reply]

They might take a look at their OL..... just sayin. [Reply]

They absolutely are. This is the best they can do.
When the Patriot AIDS was in its death throes here in KC, we had very similar offseasons in 2011 and 2012.
It got to the point where we weren't even signing guys like Steve Breaston. Our big "free agent get" from 2012 was Stanford Routt.
The problem for the Texans is this is the terminal kind of Patriot AIDS. It's affected the brain of its owner, and it won't ever go away until he sells the team or dies.
The Texans are about to become a Cleveland Browns 2002-2020 type of franchise. [Reply]
