Lucky Number 13? (Patriots Update-July 10)

Digg it

The Pats signed WR Troy Brown today, as reported on MVN.

I can't say I disagree with the signing. Brown should make the team, if only because he can find a position to make the roster on. He's a veteran presence that can help My Boy adapt. Beyond that, the signing allows Brown to remain a Patriot. It just makes sense to see that 83 in a patriots uniform for another season.

Beyond that, can you blame them for signing him? In a year with tons of Free Agent WR signings, they bring back the most class act in New England to show them the way to success as a Patriot. If he can do anything to help this team, it will be appretiated in a year with a major overhaul in players.

Beyond that, it makes 13 WR's that will enter camp with the Pats. 13!!!!! 13!!!! Thats more than twice the number than they will keep on the roster.

Here's the list:

  • Troy Brown
  • Bug Eyes
  • Bam Childress
  • Chris Dunlap
  • Jabar Gaffney
  • Chad Jackson
  • C.J. Jones
  • Kelvin Kight
  • Randy Moss
  • Johnathan Smith
  • Donte’ Stallworth
  • Kelley Washington
  • Wes Welker

Of those 13, 7 have a legitimate shot at making the roster (Moss, Stallworth, Welker, Gaffney, Caldwell, Washington, Brown), 1 on the IR (Jackson), and at least one that will end up on the Practice Squad (Childress). That's awesome. Can you say MVP for a certain QB?.

Next edition:Post-Training Camp (or there abouts)

Heck, keep him somewhere on the roster for nickle- and dime-package purposes....

I was so excited when I heard this. He always makes a play when he needs to. He needs to retire as a Patriot and the organization understands this. Great job by both sides. Also, one of the best NFL-United Way commercials EVER. Bingo! Bingo! I got Bingo!

Jackson won't go on IR, he'll probably go on the PUP list, which will allow him to come back after Week 6 of the season. IR shuts him down for the whole year. I think they'll only keep one of Gaffney and Bug Eyes, though.

Note to self, don't grab a NE WR in the fantasy draft. Second note to self, grab Tom Brady.

Randy Moss might be worth it if he's not taken early and you need a good WR. Besides that, your right on target

It's possible NE could end the year with 7 guys with 40+ receptions....

Troy Brown is possibly the best WR/CB/KR/PR/3rd string QB/HB to ever play the game.

What it tells me is that the Pats have no one they are confident in to play the WR position. That, or Tom Brady whined like a little sissy about getting ER's to throw to, and the Pats went stupid and brought in 13.

can you blame him? Gaffney was the go to guy, and he was cut by the texans, then the eagles
