I tried to look back and see if this has already been posted, but I do apologize if this has already been talked about in depth.

I think this needs to be our next move. 

6'1" 198lbs - 25 years old

2nd round tender placed by NE and after their spending spree, as well as having Gilmore/Mills there already, I think we can swoop in and scoop our CB1.

Yes, it would cost us a 2nd...a high 2nd, but the final piece that is truly missing on this insanely athletic, young defense would be acquired in this scenario. I have personally hoped that any QB trade (DW or moving up in the draft) would not include our 2nd rounder this year, so this would allow us to get Jackson. 

I was sleeping on this kid big time. He has faced a ton of action since Gilmore is NE's Revis/PP shut down guy. His story is littered with having to hustle and prove himself....and he has. 

A friend of mine is a diehard NE fan....not the a$$hole kind that thinks Brady is God, but a very grounded and intelligent, analytical fan that I've had countless conversations about football with. He told me, "I'd argue Jackson is the best CB in the league that nobody is talking about. After the first year that I saw him, I wanted NE to give him a long-term deal to lock him down for the next decade. First two years, had one of the lowest passer ratings against him. His third year (last year) 2nd in the league in INTs."

Jackson came out of Maryland the same year DJ did, so I wonder if Moore and him are in contact. Maybe DJ can get in Snow/Rhule/Fitterer's ear and make this happen. 

 Let's do this!!

You're not just going to have to give up a 2nd rounder, you're also going to have to offer a contract that NE (a team with a LOT more cap room than we have) won't be willing to match. Just saying.

Oh, for sure we'll have to pay. I just didn't think it would be anywhere near what the top CBs are getting. I also am of the opinion that we have more space now after all of the Pats' signings to make this happen. 

I was glazing over Spotrac's page and looked like we have 15M more currently. Not sure how updated it is, or perhaps I'm reading it wrong.

Yeah, they've definitely been spending like drunken sailors. Not sure where they currently sit.

How much more cap room could the Patriots possibly have? They've signed an entire new team.

Y’all forget they gave very little money dedicated to QBs where most teams that’s a 3rd of their cap. They got plenty of money still.

      Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle

      By Basbear · Posted

      Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
