Will the patriots be bringing in Kamerion Wimbley for a look?  That would be a great pick up for decent dollars. 

Lot of teams interested in Wimbley.  Could get pricey.

They really need to sign Ventrone. They need someone they can cut and resign throughout the season. Unless somebody else takes that gig.

i thought they had like 68 mil of cap space? this is all they got?

68 million in cap space???  Where did you hear that?  That is more than half of the total cap, LMFAO, they had more like 16 million in cap space, and they still need to sign rookies.

As far as Wimbley, looks like he is signing with the Titans

This is a great haul to this point in time. Still need more on defensive side of the ball especially rushing the QB. Castillo would be a good get for the Patriots to serve that purpose. Still time for a trade on draft day and a good draft and they will be favorites again for AFC title.

 Looks like the receiving corps is set, a new O lineman and  a couple of DB’s. Guess all that’s left to do in the draft is a DB or two, same with LB’s, another o-lineman and a good running back, if BJGE walks. SHould be an interesting draft. I’ll say, DE, DB, LB, RB, OL.

I like what the Pats have don in FA.  I think the draft they will go after a DL in the mold of Wilfork if one is out there.  They will go for a corner and O line youth as well.  Not alot of depth in this years draft but maybe if the Pat’s have done there homework they will pull in some good talent.

Getting to Brady isn’t as hard as it used to be, as opposing defenses continue their assault on the Pats O-line. So, acquiring situational mobility at QB (read Tebow), while posing time-consuming planning problems for opposing D-coordinators, could also buy additional pocket time for Brades – assuming, of course, that Belichick does the right thing and brings a bunch of hungry young blocking blood into the Pats locker room during the off-season.

What about DT Harrison????

I like these signing thus far. This team needed major help at the WR position, needed to add depth at the OL and RB. So adding Brandon Lloyd at those dollars in this offense could be the steal of this year’s FA. Plus signing Gonzales could be great buy low type of situation. Now just need to give Welker the long term deal and draft some defensive players early and take a RB late in the draft. 

Adding Gallery to the mix was a solid move, the most important part of the offense is easily the offensive line. In the Super Bowl the Giants O Line played better and won them the game compared to the Pats O Line which was hurting by that time last year. Hopefully Pats can bring back Waters and Light and just have Gallery as an extra lineman for when someone inevitably gets hurt or if Mankins is slow to recover from surgery.    

Pats defense last year was pathetic, I would really like to see them either add a few more veterans or actually use their draft picks to add some talent to the defense to take some pressure off the offense. Past really need a Safety big time, or if they decide to use Mccourty as S, then they need to add a CB or two. Also, target a pass rusher in the draft, and use the millions of picks Bill has stockpiled and move up in the draft to get that franchise type pass rusher at OLB or DE. 
 

Tebow? Really? Why on earth would they want a useless qb who can’t even be a back up clogging up their roster.

Adding a mobile QB will help protect Brady… that may be the stupidest statement I’ve ever seen.

I like the majority of the pick ups.  You need 53 guys….that’s why one impact signing, although it’s “sexy” doesn’t do it.  The one I don’t really know about is Gonzalez.  Had knee issues and hasn’t been a factor for two seasons.  I read the that his specific injury was initially a torn PCL.  I know I read this.  A PCL, unlike the ACL, cannot, I repeat, cannot be repaired.  it’s like ACL’s back in the 60′s when they didn’t have the technology or the wherewithall to repair them.  Guys like Gale Sayers…..they fixed them up and they were never the same, despite what you saw in the movie Brian’s Song.  

Today they reconstruct ACL’s with either a graft of your own tendon or a graft from a cadaver tendon.  Seems like they should be able to do something similar with a PCL but they can’t..yet.  Maybe in 20-30 years who knows. 

So if this is true….then all Gonzalez could do would be PT to strengthen.   My guess is he’s not as fast or quick as he once was …can’t be. 

I think they are just taking a flyer out on him and maybe he’s ok.  I say he doesn’t make the final cuts. 

Sorry I couldn’t resist as there are reported PCL reconstructions…..So maybe Gonzalez had something like this…. 
Treatment of PCL tears is controversial, and, unlike treatment of an ACL tear, there is little agreement as how best to proceed. Initial treatment of the pain and swelling consists of the use of crutches, ice, and elevation. Once these symptoms have settled, physical therapy is beneficial to improve knee motion and strength. Nonoperative treatment is recommended for most grade I and grade II PCL tears.

Surgical reconstruction of the PCL is controversial, and usually only recommended for grade III PCL tears. Because of the technical difficulty of the surgery, some orthopedic surgeons do not see the benefit of PCL reconstruction. Others, however, believe PCL reconstruction can lead to improved knee stability and lower the likelihood of problems down the road.

Surgical PCL reconstruction is difficult in part because of the position of the PCL in the knee. Trying to place a new PCL graft in this position is difficult, and over time these grafts are notorious for stretching out and becoming less functional. Generally, surgical PCL reconstruction is reserved for patients who have injured several major knee ligaments, or for those who cannot do their usual activities because of persistent knee instability.
