A good read here on the inner mechanics of the Pats. Basically they stockpile draft picks and have an aversion to drafting WRs early.

Justin Houston had his knee cap scoped to fix a cruciate injury. Could well miss next season, 6 to 12 month recovery time. Would be a massive loss for them.
Oakland looking like a value bet for the division

Kap to the Broncos looks to be happening
An interesting step forward in live streaming
Looks very unlikely now unless he takes a $4.9m cut or the Niners opt to pay it.
Denver won’t go over $7m and would need further restructuring on the contract in subsequent years.
Looks to be too difficult to complete at this stage.

Patriots fans sue NFL in effort to get first-round pick back
BOSTON – A group of New England Patriots fans has sued the NFL in an effort to recover the first-round draft pick that was taken from the team as punishment for the Deflategate scandal.
The seven fans include a season ticket holder from Connecticut who said the scandal has left his 7-year-old daughter disillusioned and a Florida man who said the NFL’s sanctions have caused him stress and lost sleep.
The complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Boston says the NFL made an "arbitrary and capricious’’ decision to revoke the pick in this month’s draft even though there is no proof the team deliberately deflated footballs in the Jan. 18, 2015, AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud, negligence, intentional inflection of emotional distress, and racketeering.
The NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell and team owner Robert Kraft are named as defendants.
The Patriots and league declined to comment Wednesday.
The complaint says the league and Goodell relied on "false premises and biased `investigations’’’ in handing down punishment, which also included a $1 million fine and a four-game suspension for quarterback Tom Brady. Brady’s suspension remains under appeal.
The suit criticizes Kraft for not fighting the league’s punishments harder.
"Defendant Robert Kraft had remedies to attempt to get plaintiffs’ draft pick back, but he chose his fellow billionaire owners above the plaintiffs and fellow fans,’’ the suit said.
Sports law experts tell the Boston Herald the suit is a Hail Mary because fans don’t have standing in the matter.
"Paying for a ticket to watch the Patriots play isn’t interfered with by the team losing a draft pick or two,’’ said Michael McCann, a sports law professor at the University of New Hampshire Law School.
The Pats are quickly turning into the Liverpool FC of the NFL. Chippy grief merchants.

JUSTICE FOR SOMETHING BUT WE’RE NOT SURE WHAT
I’m not afraid to say that I am ashamed of some of the antics of Pats fans over the past year or more. It’s embarrassing some of the shit that comes out. Other fans and teams etc hate the Patriots for one reason or another and that type of shit just further reinforces why.
Those type of law suits in America are ridiculous, same for ones where a ref fucked up or something.
Reports floating about that Josh Gordon has failed another drugs test.
