I thought so too but the Pennell signing tempers my expectations that they'd take Lawrence. I think at a minimum, they have to at least double dip at WR; could be the first time we see the Patriots take one in round 1.

Who exactly were they bidding against? Lmao.

Yup. This is the time of year where everyone freaks out and is concerned while all these teams spend like crazy and our big name FA's walk. Flowers is an outstanding player but I'm fine with replacing him with Bennett + a 3rd next year. BB continues to exploit the comp pick market. Brown is just not worth that money and hopefully Wynn is ready to go. I'll never be concerned about the OL as long as Scar is here.

Good player and excellent pass protector. I would be worry about his weight and conditioning (issues stemming back to his 49ers days, not New England) now that he has received his big pay day.

Worth every penny. Flowers is a stud

Lol no he’s not

>wins 2 out the last 3 Super Bowls

Flowers has been the most complete defensive lineman they’ve had since Seymour. Versatile. Model Patriot. Not showing up at the Foxbrough police station shirtless and high the week of a playoff game. And a big game performer. Didn’t disappear down the stretch like Jones did. Doesn’t hold a candle to what Chandler Jones was? GTFO. Just because he doesn’t put up sack numbers? News flash, sacks are a dumb statistic and BB doesn’t care about padding stack numbers.

Same thing we heard about Hightower, McCourty, etc. Not tagging him /= not valuing the player or wanting them back.

Certainly means he's valued more by Belichick, who you know, decides if he's paid or not.

Flowers is more versatile than Chandler Jones.

Deeeeeobo

Except the numbers and analytics prove that you're wrong.

No question, I will be shocked if Belichick lets Flowers get away. He fits the exact description of the player he's willing to pay up for. What are people's thoughts on a tag and trade of Trent Brown?
