|
|
 |
smokeyboy found this 7 hours ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | Stephen Neal lives in San Diego, and on the way to driving to his parents house, he always goes by the Chargers training facility. A job with San Diego would have been a much easier fit for the offensive lineman in terms of family life.
But once he decided he still wanted to play football, and the Patriots [team stats] still had an interest, it was a pretty easy decison for the free...

| | Kevin Faulk made no secret of his desire to remain a part of the team he’s been a fixture of the past 11 seasons. Like Troy Brown, he wants to be a Patriot for life.
Judging by what took place yesterday, the team may have the same goal in mind, as Faulk agreed to a one-year deal that could potentially net him $3 million. Under its terms, the running back will earn a $1 million...

 |
smokeyboy found this 2 days ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | Leigh Bodden spent this past weekend in Houston, dining with Texans coach Gary Kubiak and listening to the franchise’s best pitch. All the while, Bodden maintained the Patriots would get the last word.
The result is that the top cornerback available on the free agent market isn’t going anywhere.
His agent, Alvin Keels, confirmed Bodden agreed to a four-year deal with the...

smokeyboy found this 3 days ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | Two facts came to light last night.
One is that Leigh Bodden, the top cornerback on the open market, spent two days being courted by the Texans and left without a deal. The other is that Bodden and the Patriots have not officially reunited.
Nearly everything else is up for debate.

| | There wasn’t a ton of movement on the free agent front yesterday, but the action should start to pick up with the Patriots today as the secondary tier of players start to make their case.
The Pats are set to bring in free agent Josh Reed for a visit today. It’s no secret the Pats are in need of wide receiver help, and the 29-year-old, who has spent his entire career with the...

Patriots turn into movers

smokeyboy found this 7 days ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | The Patriots didn’t even wait for the circus that is free agency to begin before making a head-turning move.
It’s likely it won’t be the last.
Roughly eight hours before the 2010 NFL year officially began, the team cut tight end Chris Baker, a sturdy blocker and key contributor. That’s how the first uncapped year since 1993 began for the Patriots.

|
|
 |
smokeyboy found this 8 days ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | Today, the Patriots will provide answers regarding some of their free agents. When midnight strikes, the questions will multiply.
On the last day of the 2009 league year - and the likely beginning of an uncapped 2010 - the Patriots will announce the fate of their free agents.
The team will almost certainly extend tenders to guard Logan Mankins and kicker Stephen Gostkowski, either...

| | Jerod Mayo studies the cue card and says the words aloud. Dressed in his No. 51 Patriots jersey in front of three lockers, the linebacker already sees an opportunity to audible.
“That’s a little choppy. Can I ad-lib?” Mayo asks the director of the photo shoot for a United Way public service announcement. “And those words are a little too close together.”...

smokeyboy found this 10 days ago on news.bostonherald.com
| Matt Tennant appears to be next in a long line of Boston College linemen. He hopes to build on a reputation of tough, physical interior players such as Patriots [team stats] center Dan Koppen and Giants guard Chris Snee.
“When I was first thinking of going to BC, it was like, ‘Wow, there’s a history of sending great linemen to the league,’ ” said Tennant, a...

| Darrelle Revis gave the Patriots fits in 2009, shutting down receiver Randy Moss and then continuing to talk about it. The Pro Bowl cornerback for the New York Jets emerged as the prototype at his position, forcing the Pats into the harsh reality of seeing him every year.
Perhaps in 2010, the Patriots will have their own. Devin McCourty fits the profile.
At 5-foot-11 and 186 pounds,...
