It's still a solid receiver room.
Finished last year off with Edelman/Hogan/Dorsett/Patterson. This definitely hurts on a couple different levels but this group is better, especially if Harry can make an impact. The OL remains the biggest concern.Edelman

He was at practice today, so I’d guess they legit weren’t sure.So they must have been keeping mum and holding him off the IR to prevent other teams from gaining the upper hand in negotiations.
How about Austin Collie?Austin Hooper makes like $5, go get him.
Last year's group included Gronk, who was a massive part of the passing game and even well past his prime was able to stretch the field. You can add in Watson, White and Burkhead and there are lots of solid options here, but no credible deep threat which puts a ceiling on how effective their offense can be. This is a huge loss.Finished last year off with Edelman/Hogan/Dorsett/Patterson. This definitely hurts on a couple different levels but this group is better, especially if Harry can make an impact.

How does a player go from maybe he can play to IR in a day, after a week+ of medical diagnosis? That doesn't seem right.He was at practice today, so I’d guess they legit weren’t sure.
It’s possible it was a “see if you can manage the pain” injury, I dunno. What’s the purpose of faking teams out today?How does a player go from maybe he can play to IR in a day, after a week+ of medical diagnosis? That doesn't seem right.
Sounds like they are releasing him, but since he's technically somewhat hurt they put him on IR first (?)Why are the Pats moving on if it’s injury related?
I think they only save cap space if he gets claimed off waivers, which he very well may.Sounds like they are releasing him, but since he's technically somewhat hurt they put him on IR first (?)
Plus it saves cap space I bet.
Possible.Did he have a relapse or something we just don't know about? None of this makes sense.
A claiming team would incur about a $1M cap hit, so he certainly would get claimed.I think they only save cap space if he gets claimed off waivers, which he very well may.
I'll take Stone Cold Steve Austin at this point, I bet he could block decently.How about Austin Collie?
I honestly think BB just values the other WR on the roster more moving forward. Seems a defensible position, honestly. It probably comes down to him vs. Harry.Is there a rule that you can't cut an injured player?
Anyway, one would think this has to mean that they need a spot immediately. Even if that's true, I can't believe Gordon was the best candidate to create a spot unless there's something signficant behind the scenes.
Quoting myself -- Miguel says that they get cap relief as soon as he's released because his salary is not guaranteed, but they cannot release him until he's healthy or they reach an injury settlement with him.I think they only save cap space if he gets claimed off waivers, which he very well may.
Sorry Ed..You mentioned the name "Mack" before and the only Mack I could think of was Khail Mack and I had a post already to go blasting you for 3 reasons :Chicago won't let him go 2) he must a lot of money 3) the Pat's defense does not really need him. Luckily I have edited my post. ALEX Mack the o lineman would look nice in a Pat's jersey and would fill a need. Still it's funny what my original thought wasYeah, the money is fully guaranteed as an RFA, so he’ll need to get claimed. One million closer to Alex Mack!
