Deadpulse Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Well none of that sounds any good. Let's hope Wise gets out of the concussion protocol in a timely manner or Ealy steps it up. Patriots might need to bring in more bodies at DE (despite already signing a camp body type in Keionta Davis UPDATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Not good, not good at all. Injuries are always a real bummer, but in this case It's even worse given the lack of depth and quality at DE position. Hope it's nothing too serious but I'm not confident. In case this injury is serious(knock on wood) can you guys think of any trade/signing that the Pats could attempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Freeny is still out there, but who knows how much he has in the tank. He was effective in limited work last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Here's a list of all DL and OLB FAs : http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/defensive-line/available/ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/outside-linebacker/available/ Jared Odrick is still unsigned. Kendall Reyes and Mario Williams other names that caught my eye. Not exactly rich pickings. Maybe they could coax Ninkovich or even Ware out of retirement? As roster cut-downs approach, some decent players might become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally speaking I would say they would wait for final cutdowns, but this is a thin position already. Especially with Ealy struggling and Wise concussed. Wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a trade, maybe even player-for-player. They do have RBs and WRs to spare right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is there, but I don't think we would want to put with the drama. Can't see the Jets being that interested in many of our players though (maybe Mitchell?), given how crap their roster currently is. They would prefer draft picks I imagine.

Well there are some big names out there at the position, Freeney, Mario Williams, Odrick, Kruger. I am not sure any of those guys is a ideal... Odrick did visit back in February.

atmer Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Looking through the list of FAs that Chaz provided, no name stands out to me. I believe that a trade is the way to go, but I'm more inclined to think that BB will just wait and try to get some guy that just didn't make the cut somewhere else.

ChazStandard Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Browns released Desmond Bryant a few days ago - he’s huge, 6’6 315 - so maybe more of DT here, but right now they just need some more talent on the DL rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
