Belichick brought in Brandin Cooks a fast dominant WR,Andrew Hawkins former Browns WR,Dwayne Allen former Colts TE now for the defense he brought in Kony Ealy the former Panthers DE,Stephon Gilmore the former Bills CB and David Harris the former Jets ILB. Thats the reason Belichick didn't have much of a draft he was trading picks and loading up on free agents. The Patriots end the year in comfort with two home games against the Bills and Jets which will most likely assure them another home field advantage through the postseason.

Mike75 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 If nothing else, he’s a treasure trove of info. He played Sunday for NE and got 2 sacks. He still plays at a high level,Pitt will regret letting him go esp if these two meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
