Seeing other 5-1 bolster their rosters while we have a serious need at CB annoys me. I would say give it till the trade deadline. Let Brad cook.

Brad Holmes has been pretty smart with how he as built this roster. He isn't going to make a move just for the sake of making a move and he would right to take that approach. Mecole Hardman hasn't exactly been a world-beater. I hate to float conspiracy theories but they maybe they are show-casing Julian Okwara so that they have an extra barging chip for a trade.

Just Want A Title Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) This isn't a trade but the Patriots just released rookie CB Ameer speed. List height weight: 6'3", 210 Lbs. He also reported runs a sub 4.4 forty. He also happens to be a former MSU player. Clearly he would be a project but he has tremendous physical tools. It seems like he would be worth the risk. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/patriots-waive-db-ameer-speed Edited October 19, 2023 by Just Want A Title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't good enough for their junk roster I doubt he has any value for a contender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Reportedly, Panthers are willing to trade guys away. I’d love for Brad to call them at least to gauge interest and asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Guys specifically mentioned were Donte Jackson, Jeremy Chinn, Terrace Marshall, and Brian Burns. Wonder what we could send for Burns. Maybe through Chark in there? He looked honesick after the Lions game. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A CB who measures in at 6"3, 210 Lbs with 32.5" arm-length and runs a sub-4.4 forty is the type CB we do not have. Even if he ends up as a back-up or special-teamer, those attributes are worth the risk now that he has been released. Don't be so quick to dismiss the players on that roster. They are only a year removed from having a truly dominant defense. Bill Belichick will have a great legacy but the wheels are coming off the train in New England right now. He has been known to make some not-great decisions with his personnel. Edited October 20, 2023 by Just Want A Title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a promising start to his career but apparently the new scheme isn't great for him. Terrace Marshall has got some tools and given the QB play on that team since he was drafted that he might still have some untapped potential.

Or he can switch to safety. Heck, those tools could make him a special teams demon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
