Cornerback is not a tremendous area of need for Patriots free agency heading into the 2024 offseason, assuming Christian Gonzalez comes back healthy from his ACL tear, Jonathan Jones starts opposite him and nickel corner Myles Bryant, a free agent, returns on a new contract. Still, the depth of the unit could be an issue, and with that mind, perhaps, star linebacker Matthew Judon has an idea—if the Ravens release three-time Pro Bowl corner Marlon Humphrey to save on salary, the Patriots should step in and sign him up. Responding to a post on Twitter/X suggesting that the Ravens could…
Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is in no rush to move to Saudi Arabia and could now prolong his stay on Merseyside in what would be a huge boost for the club. The Reds rejected a widely reported £150million bid last summer for Salah from Al-Ittihad. But Saudi clubs retain huge interest in the Egyptian and are planning massive offers. So they’re going into the main transfer window at the end of the season. Well-placed sources have told Football Insider that Salah wants to keep playing at the top level and challenge for football’s most prestigious honours. As revealed by Football…
The struggles at the quarterback position for the New England Patriots were evident throughout the 2023 season, with former first-round pick Mac Jones enduring a particularly challenging campaign. Despite being the starter at the outset, Jones faced a tumultuous season that saw him benched at halftime and eventually relegated to the emergency quarterback role behind backup Bailey Zappe and even Nathan Rourke, who lacked NFL experience. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer has revealed new details that paint a toxic and unbearable Patriots QB room. “The quarterback room he (Jones) was in the last two years got toxic, to the point where…
The wait is over. The first two episodes of The Dynasty, the much-anticipated Apple TV+ documentary about the New England Patriots of the 2000s and 2010s, are out. The show starts off by taking a look at the early stages of the eventual dynasty — from Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick arriving on the scene, to Tom Brady taking over as quarterback. The three men are naturally part of the conversation, as are several other people with ties to them and the organization. With that said, here is our recap of the first two episodes and a look at what they taught us…
from last season’s serious knee injury, Davis returned to action in Week 7. He retook his main role as personnel protector on punt team and was also a fixture on five other units in the kicking game. That was until Week 15 when Davis saw his role decrease as he was removed from the kick return team. The veteran still made a splash play the following week in Denver, as he scored his first career touchdown, recovering a Marvin Mims fumble forced by Marte Mapu, in a win on Christmas Eve. He then tallied three tackles over the final two…
The start of the New England Patriots’ historic championship legacy has returned to the center of the sports world. This week marked the premiere of “The Dynasty” on Apple TV+, a new docuseries that analyzes the 20-year run of the Patriots in a 10-part installment. The first episode details where the chance for greatness began when Bill Belichick stuck with second-year quarterback Tom Brady after a crushing injury to franchise passer Drew Bledsoe “Robert Kraft did not like the move,” Cowherd said on “The Herd” on Friday. “The Boston media did not like the move. The star, highly-compensated Drew Bledsoe,…
BOSTON — Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery experimented recently by having Trent Frederic play on the first and second lines. Montgomery evidently didn’t love those results and moved Frederic back to his original third line alongside James van Riemsdyk and Morgan Geekie in Boston’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings at TD Garden on Saturday afternoon. Despite the loss, Montgomery couldn’t have been more right in reuniting that third line. Frederic, van Riemsdyk and Geekie were a catalyst for the Bruins as they factored into three out of the four Boston goals. “We had a great performance from…
It’s not a secret that the New England Patriots have missed a big-time, play-making wide receiver in their offense in recent seasons. So why not fill that void by signing arguably the most consistent wide receiver in the NFL? Mike Evans can hit the free agent market this offseason after 10 stellar seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers, who couldn’t come to terms on a contract extension with Evans prior to the season, could always prevent Evans from going elsewhere by placing the franchise tag on him — teams have from Feb. 20 to March 5 to use…
Perhaps no Boston Red Sox player this offseason got a bigger endorsement than rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu. And it didn’t come from one of his teammates or manager Alex Cora. Instead, Red Sox chairman Tom Werner doled out some high praise for the left-handed hitter. Werner told reporters last month that Abreu “will see success if he has 400 at-bats” this season. It was a surprising remark given Abreu’s relative anonymity — he finished last season ranked as Boston’s No. 18 prospect by MLB Pipeline — as he battles for a roster spot this spring. But Werner’s comment definitely uplifted…
The Red Sox announced they traded reliever John Schreiber to the Kansas City Royals for pitching prospect David Sandlin. Schreiber, who the Red Sox initially claimed off waivers from the Detroit Tigers before the 2021 campaign, spent the last three seasons with the Red Sox and had a breakout showing for Boston out of the bullpen in 2022. That season Schreiber made 64 appearances, posting a 4-4 record with a 2.22 ERA and a miniscule 0.985 WHIP to go along with eight saves. He also struck out 74 batters in 65 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander took a little bit of…
