Reports are that the Patriots are picking up Stephon Gilmore. I didn't see that coming. Probably means that Ryan will go. Chances are Harmon and Butler might stay as well.
With Bennett on the outer, they've picked up Allen from the Colts.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Hightower, who has been clutch in the past 2 superbowl wins.

The Pats will be going for it the next two years so not surprised by such a big signing by their standards. Brady is 40 next season and Father Time will catch up with him soon.

Some good additions on day one for the 49ers:

49ers Agree to Terms with Seven Free Agents

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to terms with WR Pierre Garçon, WR Marquise Goodwin, QB Brian Hoyer, FB Kyle Jusczyk, TE Logan Paulsen, LB Malcolm Smith and K Robbie Gould.

Very happy with that first bunch.

Logan Ryan off to the Titans. 3 years, $30m
I'm expecting the Pats to keep Butler.. but there are rumours of a trade with Cooks..which I think would be a bad idea.. unless theres another hidden gem on defence that BB knows about that we don't

@mimic No need for a big name WR when they have Elderman and Hogan. I have a feeling the Pats will draft LA Tech WR Trent Taylor, and he'll probably go on to be a 1,000 yard, 8+ TD type of player.

49ers add another Chicago QB - Matt Barkley. Looks like they're going with veterans for this season, and no CKap return (I personally think he's done).

Washington continues to implode - they just fired the GM.

RG III is finished in Cleveland. Looks like he will have to be a backup somewhere else if he wants to remain playing.

Martellus looks to be heading to Green Bay..
Pryor heading to Washington to replace DJax, who has gone to the Bucs..

Like CKap he started strong but never evolved

I know the worst player in the league is still incredibly good, but to wash out at Cleveland? Wow.

Saints trading Cooks to the Patriots !!!

[Sneakdefreak]

@mimic Apparently Belichick is a big fan of Cook. But a first rounder and a third is quite a bit for a WR who played in a WR-friendly offence.

Patriots have been looking at WRs for a while now. Maybe TB put in a request to pick one up before he retires. Also being down against the Falcons made him realise that he might need some speed.

The Tony Romo saga is getting annoying. The Cowboys are going to release him, then they read the news and think they can trade him, then Fox Sports wants Romo to retire so he can work for them as a commentator, then the Cowboys find out that no team wants to give up anything for a guy who will probably retire. All within 3 days.

Patriots continue to improve - just signed RB Rex Burkhead from the Bengals. Could be another Danny Woodhead-type player for them (but bigger).

[mimic]

Yeah, I was surprised by that. I was thinking they'd get a power back.

tbh, I'm really looking forward to see the Browns make moves. So many picks in the draft and so much cap space. Would be interesting to see who they get.

I don't know how it works but I think the Bengals are doing a few pre-draft deals to take advantage of their 9 position in the draft

[mariner4life]

DeMarcus Ware retired. Not a bad career

[mimic]

Pats have got Hightower back..
Waiting to see what happens with Butler..

[Sneakdefreak]

@mimic Waiting to see what happens with Butler..

He'll go to New Orleans, suck, and return to the Pats on a cheaper deal. New England can easily replace him in the upcoming draft though.

[mimic]

I think the Saints have the 11th pick in the 1st round. I wonder whether they will be willing to give that up now that they have the 32nd pick in the first round.
