The Patriots took care of another piece of offseason business this afternoon, coming to terms with top cornerback Leigh Bodden on what his agent is calling a four year contract.
At a position in which the Patriots haven’t exactly been stable at over the last few years, getting this done is [...]

Yesterday marked the beginning of the new league year, and with it, the start of free agency – the first in an uncapped system since the early 1990’s.
While big splashes were made by some teams around the league (Chicago, Detroit, both New York teams), the Patriots mostly stayed at home [...]

A few items/thoughts involving the Patriots from recent days:
The news came on Monday that we’ve been expecting – The Patriots designated Vince Wilfork as their franchise player. Obviously the hope is to work out a long term agreement with him. At the very least, doing this keeps his right in [...]
This is a list of what the Patriots have done in the 2010 offseason, it will be updated as things happen, so keep checking back here throughout the offseason.
January 14 – It is revealed that Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees will not return in 2010. Shalise Manza Young first to report.

It’s not even a question, right?
Most places I’ve looked at have signing the massive nose tackle to a long term contract the number one priority this offseason for the New England Patriots. Many, including media people, say that OBVIOUSLY the Patriots first order of business this offseason is getting this [...]
With the NFL set to enter (barring an unexpected last-minute agreement) the “uncapped year” there is a lot of uncertainty among fans as to what exactly the rules will be this offseason for player movement. While many people might hear the words “uncapped year” and think of huge contracts being handed out to the highest [...]
This one comes with a tip of the cap to our good friend Scott Benson, who is recovering nicely from his heart attack suffered during the season.
Scott is a big advocate of Colts middle linebacker Gary Brackett, who is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Brackett has been a stalwart of the Colts [...]
It’s a long offseason ahead, so here is as complete a list as we could come up with for events between now and training camp, 2010. As we discover more dates, we’ll add them in, and as some dates get clearer (dates for rookie camp, mini camp, etc) we’ll update those as well.
This Patriots team [...]
Occasionally this offseason, we’re going to post something that we’d like to see the Patriots do, be it a free agent pickup, a draft choice, a coaching move, or even cutting ties with a player.
One thing I’d really like to see the Patriots do is pursue free agent inside linebacker Karlos Dansby.
As this bit by [...]
The Providence Journal is reporting at this hour that the Patriots have fired defensive coordinator Dean Pees.
Personally, this move wasn’t all that much of a shock. The timing of it is, a little bit. It was reported that the Patriots coaches would be taking a couple of weeks off before launching into 2010. The fact [...]
