Drake Maye is a Patriot.

In the words of the 🐐: LFG! #Patriots

[Mike Reiss @MikeReiss]

In Foxboro, coach Mike Vrabel says WR A.J. Brown will travel with the team to Germany.

Vrabel adds that just because players will travel doesn't necessarily mean they will play ... but this obviously gives Brown a chance.

[Boston Celtics @celtics]

Zero gravity

[Boston Celtics @celtics]

He did it AGAIN.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

This is bummer man. It didn’t have to be like this.

It's pretty easy to say Maye is very good because he's been, well, very good. Even historically good when looking at underlying stats.

Despite the Patriots run game ranking 51st and Maye being pressured at the 11th-highest rate among the 69 QBs with 1000+ attempts since 2013, Maye ranks:

- 2nd in Dropback SUPLEX (behind only Purdy)
- 3rd in yards/DB
- 5th in EPA/DB (behind Purdy, Manning, Brees, Mahomes)
- 4th in DB SR (behind Purdy, Mahomes, Brees)
- 2nd in SR on just throws
- 3rd in explosive pass%

And to top it off he's the 8th-most efficient scrambler while scrambling at the 2nd-highest rate.

@SimonWagstaff16 @Dee_Hunt45 Because I see that they are currently a playoff team, I look at the rest of their schedule, and I look at the teams that would need to jump them in the standings. This is a playoff team.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

I can’t believe the #Patriots didn’t try to add a Guard with their current interior offensive line depth.

Regardless of what you think of this team’s ceiling, you have to protect your franchise’s most valuable asset.

[Andrew Callahan @_AndrewCallahan]

Sources: The #Patriots did not make any trades. The NFL trade deadline has passed.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

@Dee_Hunt45 We are currently a playoff team and should stay one. Trading even a rotational player for a draft pick is a slap in the face, especially since you agree we have 0 depth

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

@Dee_Hunt45 Then trade him in the offseason. We don’t have enough DL depth as is. You can’t sell pieces off a playoff team. It’s unacceptable

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

@WagnerSBranco Because it’s not a lost season. They are currently a playoff team. Everyone that is hurt besides Onwenu should be back.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

@Dee_Hunt45 I would have ripped him if he traded Barmore. You don’t sell on a playoff team.

Trading Barmore would have been a way to get off of money, which I think would have been a horrible move

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

This is what Drake Maye is playing with and people will still blame a loss on him.

[Scotty B @ScottyBPats]

The Patriots offense is looking crazy rn

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

And there it is! Kirk Cousins back to the Vikings!

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

Blockbuster! The Raiders are trading four-time Pro Bowl QB Kirk Cousins to the Vikings for their 2027 third-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Cousins returns to Minnesota for the playoff push, while Las Vegas turns to No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

Good lord. Hooker is a good player, but that price feels extremely high for the Bills

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The #Titans are trading S Amani Hooker to the #Bills, with a 2nd round pick going and a 5th rounder coming back, sources say.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

i didn’t realize how bad I need Mac Jones to Minnesota until right now.

Make it happen @Vikings

[Dianna Russini @DMRussini]

Minnesota is calling around on QBs all day. The Vikings checked in on Mac Jones in San Francisco, but the price is too high right now.

The name everyone keeps coming back to is Kirk Cousins, as @AdamSchefter said. That's the deal league sources think they're really trying to get done.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

Please make the injuries stop. I am begging.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that is not expected to require surgery but could sideline him for a short period of time, per source.

[Casey Baker @_CaseyBaker]

This team misses Stefon Diggs for a lot more than just what he brought on the field.

[Justin Trombino @Trombino20]

#Patriots WR DeMario Douglas postgame says the team needs to have more support for each other on the sidelines. He feels the team in unconnected right now:

“I just feel like we need more energy on the sideline. I think that’ll help us play complimentary football. I feel like, the offense go out on the sidelines when the defense out there, I feel like we need to be out there [on the sidelines] to be like ‘let’s go.’ I feel like that’ll help the energy around the whole team. I feel like once we get that together, be a tighter team, we’ll clean a lot of things up.”

A 24-team playoff and no more conference championships. Legitimately nobody wants this except the greedy fucking executives looking to squeeze every last dollar out of the sport.

It’s disgusting, and an absolute fucking shame that this is what college football has become.

[Heather Dinich @CFBHeather]

The CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told ESPN, a seismic move that also eliminates the lucrative Power 4 conference championship games.

[Patriots on CLNS @PatriotsCLNS]

Will Campbell has confidence in the Patriots bouncing back:

"The same sh*t happened in Jacksonville and everyone said the same thing."

Mack Hollins sends a message to his teammates:

"This is who we are this week. If there's guys on this team that are okay with that, I'm sure there's 31 other teams they can go to...Probably not meant for this team."
