The bell has rung.
It’s funny to look back exactly a year ago and see what the priorities looked like then.
We got the first.
And aside from Austin Hooper and Antonio Gibson, literally no other thing of value.
While Jerod Mayo’s defense went from 8th in the league to 22nd.
Leading to the identical record that got Belichick fired, and the same fate for Mayo.
Which brings us mercifully to where we are.
With all that abysmal failure behind us.
But this offseason, some teams are more interesting than others.
Here are the five most interesting teams on paper now that Super Bowl LIX is over:
4.
They also have the No.
4 pick, where they will be in position to help Maye.
New England is positioned to set up its franchise for years to come.
The decisions the Patriots make this offseason will help determine how successful they will be.
Far be it for me to argue with the order of Schefty’s list.
The Patriots by contrast, aren’t facing any major losses.
I’ll note too that No.
And being in that position is more arousing than anything you’ll find inKama Sutra.
No more slogging our way through 4-13 seasons.
No more offseasons where nothing gets addressed beyond the obvious move of drafting the No.
3 QB prospect with the No.
Nothing but additions, with no significant subtractions.
The Patriots assault on the world begins now.
It’ll have been worth the wait.
I can feel that in my bones.
And I, for one, am here for all of it.
