Vrabel gets another shot coaching again with his former team. Fwiw even though he wasn’t really White friendly at Tennessee I thought it a bonehead move to fire him. Replaces Mayo, lol.

Anyways they have signed an overachiever at Center. 2yr/12mil for Bradbury is a good bargain.

Also signed G Wes Schweitzer who should compete for a starting Guard spot.

Along with LB Robert Spillane, offers some intrigue.

Sources: Pats fill need at center with Bradbury

Free agent center Garrett Bradbury has reached an agreement on a two-year deal worth up to $12 million, including $3.8 million guaranteed, with the New England Patriots, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Calls him smallish for a centre at a listed weight of 300lbs, Minnesota replaced him with a guy who is 1" taller and 7lbs heavier lol ....not much difference in my books.
 
Another good signing by the Patriots, with Gibbens joining Spillane in the linebacker room. Even if Gibbens doesn't start, the Pats are now up to five White starters. Maybe Vrabel remembers how things were back when he was a star for New England, but I wouldn't count on that just yet. Baby steps. . . .

Patriots signed LB Jack Gibbens, formerly of the Titans, to a one-year contract. Gibbens was a RFA this spring but the Titans chose not to tender him. He now reunites with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, Tennessee’s boss for two of Gibbens’ three seasons as a Titan. Gibbens made 13 starts in Vrabel’s final year with the team, setting career highs across the board in the process. He will play a mix of defense and special teams in New England.
 
The NFL is awash in money and as always Blacks are the beneficiaries. The teams are so profitable under the current model that to them these contracts are like giving away Monopoly money. $69 million for a washed up prima donna receiver who couldn't get along with Josh Allen even as Josh went overboard trying to feed him:

Patriots signed WR Stefon Diggs, formerly of the Texans, to a three-year, $69 million contract. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Diggs’ contract includes $26 million guaranteed. The 31-year-old tore his ACL in Week 8 last season and may not be ready for Week 1. However, the Patriots needed a veteran wide receiver to add to a middling group that saw no wideouts over 700 receiving yards and just DeMario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte over 400 yards last season. Diggs was a Pro-Bowler and 1,000-yard receiver each season from 2020-2023 with the Bills and caught 47 passes for 497 yards and three touchdowns for the Texans in 2024. Still a top target-earner when healthy, Diggs will aid QB Drake Maye’s development while the Pats grow the offense. Fantasy managers can treat Diggs as a stash that will have fantasy WR2 upside as the season goes on.
