At this point he's just that guy than ran a 4.2 40. He was never worth a first round pick to begin with, just a guy whose stock began to soar after the combine. His injury history is already pretty bad and he couldn't acclimate to the NFL. So, no imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/golden-tate-would-love-end-patriots-free-agent Quote "Man, I would love it," the veteran wide receiver said. "I would love it. That organization, they've proven to be champions year in and year out. They work hard, for sure. But you know where you're going to be at the end of the season. You're going to be looking at not going to the playoffs, but you're going to be looking at maybe a first-round bye, which is key. "You gotta admire that organization. They do things right. They've been doing it for a long, long, long time. So, I'd definitely love to be a part of something like that and catch a few passes from ol' Tommy Boy. Julian is a buddy of mine. I'm real good buddies with him and I've heard good things. Kyle Van Noy, who got traded from Detroit and has been there and has been balling out since, has said great things about the organization. I definitely would not mind going over there for sure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ross' stats looked bad, but a lot of them weren't really his fault. His catchable target rate was 55.2%, and it was worse further down the field. That's really bad. I think the main problem with him is he can't stay on the field.

All the skills but just cant handle the NFL talent around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ross > Dobson imo. I was never a Dobson fan at all. Tate I would pass on unless he takes a short deal that pays no more than 6.5 mil a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Prime Golden Tate could have been a real monster in the NE system, but at this point does he offer anything that Edelman doesn't? Probably a bit faster. Still, one of the better options. A short, cheap deal if he's SB hunting would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoleINGout Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'm not a fan of Crabtree but if Golden tate is too expensive then John brown is a good alternative, especially if Dorsett leaves and Humphries signs elsewhere. Tyrell williams would be an interesting fit but I think its unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Dorsett and Pats have mutual interest but there is a market for Dorsett so he will test free agency. He is most likely going to price himself too high and Patterson and Hogan are both likrly going elsewhere as well I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a trade for possibly John Ross (does not have to be him but for someone on a cheap deal), a cheap FA signing (could be one of the 3 but also someone like Conley), 1-2 WRs getting drafted along with Berrios and Edelman for 2019. Plus Gordon coming back can still happen. With college players getting more NFL ready day 1 each year I don't see the issue getting young at that position either. Plus you shouldn't mess with the chemistry regarding JE cheap contract by churning out 10M APY for Humphries or Tate. Hell, they might look for up to 14 per year.

Nex_Gen Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hogan is completely useless at this point. His skills and abilities have completely diminished over the last season. He doesn't know how to absorb hits and can barely stay on the field anymore. I hope the Patriots don't bring him back. And if they do, I don't expect him to make the cut. He won't be in the league past this coming season. Dorsett and Patterson aren't guys anyone should be relying on but they are good as role players as long as the Patriots keep them in the same boat they did last year along with their costs. Gordon is all but gone. There's no realistic shot he is instated back into the league at this point so good riddance to him. It was good while it lasted. There are some savvy veterans that are interesting in Garcon and Crabtree who have shown the ability to play in an offense like this one. I also think Chris Conley is someone they make look at as he seems like the Patriot type and won't come at a steep price. I don't expect the Patriots to come out of the draft with less than 2 new WRs given how aggressive they've been chasing WRs behind closed doors over the last calendar year. It's a pretty deep and diverse class. And I think guys like Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, Riley Ridley, Miles Boykin, Greg Dortch and Gary Jennings are the names to keep an eye on.
