New England drafted Tyrone McKenzie in the third round, looking to add youth and depth to the linebacker corps. The South Florida grad (who also played at Michigan State and Iowa State) ended up missing the season due to a knee injury sustained in rookie camp last spring.
Despite that setback [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s a bit of a banged-up Patriots squad entering week six of the NFL campaign. We know Fred Taylor will be out for a while, but there were some other new names on the “did not participate” list this week. We saw Matt Light get helped off the field, and although it has been reported [...]
By the end of last week, the big news was that the Patriots actually had full participation in practice for the first time all season. Even Jerod Mayo made it back out on the field for at least the start of practice. Mayo was back out there today, and is listed under the “limited participation” [...]
The bumps and bruises of the NFL season are starting to show, as the Wednesday injury report appears for another week.
Three Patriots did not practice today, two of which were not a surprise, while the third was a bit unexpected. A report from old friend Christopher Price this week had Jerod Mayo walking through the [...]
Today’s injury report looks a little bit different from the one we looked over on Wednesday.
The biggest name on the report is Randy Moss, who did not practice today, and is listed as “questionable” with a back injury. Other new names on the list include Darius Butler, who is “questionable” with a thigh injury, and [...]
We’re already on week three of the season?
We’ve hit midweek, and while we’re still recovering from the Jets loss, the Patriots are back to work and looking ahead to the Falcons this Sunday. The first injury report of the week was released a little while ago, and there are a few changes from last week.
Jerod [...]
