Let me get these deals: - Barmore and a 2028 6th for a 2027 5th. - Devito to Vikings for a 2027 6th.

I know we joke about it, but Vrabel’s personal life and Russini situation is 100% a cause for this season. For one, he’s lost thrill and excitement of an affair (dopamine). Two, he was publicly embarrassed and discovered. You don’t flip a switch from that emotionally.

My line of work is counseling-related and I’ve been around many of these situations. It’s a journey of healing emotionally. Some never come back from it.

"Sooner than later" Week 12 is November 29. He last played on October 22. 😂
The #Patriots are optimistic that WR A.J. Brown (knee) will “be back sooner rather than later,” with Week 12 as a possibility, per @TomPelissero. “Playing two games in five days may have triggered the latest episode, but New England is optimistic he’ll be back sooner rather than later, perhaps after the Week 11 bye.”

Ironically, his trade request and time with Texans has cost him even more money as a FA. The best path for Boutte would’ve been right where he was. Interesting life lesson in this and how things go sometimes.
Former #Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte via Instagram: “never got to wear these 😒” Boutte was sidelined with a hamstring injury when New England debuted their Nor’easter uniforms in Week 11 last season.

He’s 100% not coming back until then at the earliest. They aren’t going to have him travel to Germany.
Word on the street is the Patriots might shut down AJ Brown till after the bye week. Let’s hope that one’s wrong

The last two QB's the Bills faced were Kirk Cousins and Joe Fagnano. The next three, you ask? Carson Wentz Geno Smith Malik Willis

By April 2028, I think there’s a likely chance AJ Brown isn’t even on the roster and, boy, will that be fun to wait 50+ picks for our first selection.
Schefter on AJ Brown’s knee injury and how it’s a concern about his ability to play at a high level.

I -- too -- am done with Tom "No Dog in the Fight" Brady.
Patriots HC Mike Vrabel on Tom Brady: "I'm required contractually to catch up with him at some point. I'm sure it'll be a Zoom. I'm sure they won't show up here. I'm sure it will be Zoom. So, yep, that's contractually I'll be talking to him. And I'm sure I'll see him at at Gronk's induction on Saturday."

Henderson has had an illness for 7 full days.
Mike Vrabel: A.J. Brown won’t practice today. And then there’s this … Vrabel: “I don't think you'll see Barmore — and TreVeyon are away with illness. So those guys won't be there.”

I wish I felt something watching this video, but I just don’t. Patriots Brady and Post-Patriots Brady are two different people to me. It’ll be cool to hear him call the Pats though obviously. I know I’m in the minority here.

And no follow up on question on trading Henderson?
Mike Vrabel says that signing Lan Larison to the 53-man roster was to give them more flexibility down the road. The Patriots have four running backs on the active roster now.

They now want to get younger 5 months after trading a premium asset for an aging, injured WR who — at the best case — you would’ve gotten two elite years out of.
The #Patriots are looking to “creatively” add draft capital and get younger, which could mean trading veteran CB Carlton Davis, per @AlbertBreer. Breer emphasizes that this isn’t due to a lack of belief in the current roster, but rather the front office looking to address concerns about the team’s aging roster. “Carlton Davis would be another one to watch. [He’s] potentially somebody who could be moved... This is about the age of the team. If you look at the roster big picture, they’ve gotten older in a lot of key spots. And they aren’t exactly flush with draft capital over the next couple of years… They’re gonna have to find a way over the course of the next 3, 4, 5 years to make the roster younger. Particularly, after they pay Drake Maye. So, they’re trying to creatively look at this… Certainly they’re looking at the idea of moving guys to add some capital to get younger across the board.”

What are we thinking the Pats could get for Henderson? A 4th?

I also don’t understand why he hasn’t been activated considering he’s been FP in practice and already counted toward the IR returns.
They have until Wednesday, Nov. 4 to activate Bryant.
