Martellus Bennett! I think it is a big move!

[Geoffrey P]

I really like Bennett too. Pats haven't really had anyone since Hernandez. Definitely worth a 4th and 6th rounder IMO.

It wasn't a 4th and 6th rounder for Bennett, it was Bennett and a 6th rounder in exchange for a 4th rounder, so even better

I want the Pats to sign Megatron and Marshawn Lynch, how long do they have to be retired before signing with a new team ?

**** Goodell.

[Geoffrey P]

Right? If only they put that much effort into actual problems. I know I know, makes too much sense.

Sarcasm?

Edit: answered, and answered well. Although the letter still comes off to me as either backhanded, misguided, or full of phony pleasantries you wouldn't expect from Bill.

"I've received a number of inquiries relative to a note that I wrote Donald on Monday," Belichick said. "Our friendship goes back many years."

He continued: "I think anybody that has spent more than five minutes with me knows I'm not a political person. My comments are not politically motivated -- the friendship and loyalty to Donald. A couple of weeks ago, we had Secretary of State [John] Kerry in our locker room [after a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers]. He's another friend of mine. I can't imagine two people with more different political views than those two. But to me, friendship and loyalty is just about that. It's not about political or religious views.

"I write hundreds of letters and notes every month," Belichick said. "It doesn't mean I agree with every single thing that every person thinks about politics or religion or other subjects. But I have multiple friendships that are important to me, and that's what that was about. So it's not about politics. It's about football. We have a huge game this week against a great football team, a great organization, and that's where it all is going forward. On to Seattle."

JAG is being looked over by Cleveland, SF, and Chicago according to several different media outlets.

A bidding war between those three teams could turn out very well for the Pats.

Jonathan Allen would sure look good in a Patriots jersey.

Gilmore, Harmon, and Branch today. Not a bad haul.

Butler to NO for Cooks?
