He’s due a $3 million bonus on Saturday. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_01_47_pm__Patriots_Brandon_Lloyd_WR-172286.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_01_47_pm__Patriots_Brandon_Lloyd_WR-172286.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:47:33 EST Patriots signed former Bills WR Donald Jones. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_11_42_am__Patriots_Donald_Jones_WR-172266.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_11_42_am__Patriots_Donald_Jones_WR-172266.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:42:33 EST Leon Washington has signed with the Patriots. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_06_50_pm__Patriots_Leon_Washington_RB-172172.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_06_50_pm__Patriots_Leon_Washington_RB-172172.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:50:33 EST Danny Amendola signed with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, about a day before Wes Welker agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos. News of Amendola's agreeing to a deal with New England broke after the Welker news, making it seem a reactionary move on the part of the Patriots. In reality, the Patriots' reaction came when Welker and his representatives made it clear they would test the free-agent market. With Amendola's contract in place, the Patriots could not afford to let him leave without signing and risk losing both him and Welker. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_02_25_pm__Patriots_Danny_Amendola_WR-172106.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_02_25_pm__Patriots_Danny_Amendola_WR-172106.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:25:33 EST Danny Amendola's $10 million of guaranteed money includes a $6 million signing bonus.

Deal would pay him $1.323M for 2013. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_05_20_pm__Patriots_Michael_Hoomanawanui_TE-171668.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_05_20_pm__Patriots_Michael_Hoomanawanui_TE-171668.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:20:33 EST On ESPN, Adam Schefter says that Wes Welker will test the market. "it may take a little time" for a deal to come together. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_05_04_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-171656.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_05_04_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-171656.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:04:33 EST Redskins have expressed an interest in Aqib Talib and will be making a push to sign the New England Patriots' cornerback if and when he becomes available on Tuesday, according to a person informed of the negotiations between the sides. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_08_37_pm__Patriots_Aqib_Talib_CB-171463.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_08_37_pm__Patriots_Aqib_Talib_CB-171463.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:37:33 EST Aqib Talib found a home in the New England Patriots' secondary last season. The Patriots want to ensure the address wasn't temporary. Greg Bedard of The Boston Globe reported Monday that the Patriots would like to get a deal with Talib done soon, according to multiple sources. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_04_47_pm__Patriots_Aqib_Talib_CB-171396.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_04_47_pm__Patriots_Aqib_Talib_CB-171396.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:47:33 EST In a Monday press conference Patriots owner Bob Kraft said the team Wants Wes Welker back. " We want Wes back, we really do". http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_02_54_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-171366.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_02_54_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-171366.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:54:33 EST Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace, who is viewed as the best deep threat in the league, has caught the Pats' attention, according to the Miami Herald. The Herald cited an agent who "has (the information) on good authority," but does not represent Wallace. Attempts to confirm the news through Wallace's agency have not been returned. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_09_05_52_pm__Patriots_Mike_Wallace_WR-171052.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_09_05_52_pm__Patriots_Mike_Wallace_WR-171052.html Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:52:33 EST Patriots guard Donald Thomas is expected to test free agency. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_11_51_pm__Patriots_Donald_Thomas_G-170650.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_11_51_pm__Patriots_Donald_Thomas_G-170650.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 23:51:33 EST Despite some talk that the Patriots and receiver Wes Welker were trying to work out an agreement on a long-term contract before Welker becomes an unrestricted free agent on March 12, that doesn’t appear likely to happen. Multiple reports surfaced on Wednesday morning that Welker was going to hit the market, with Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reporting that nothing is imminent between the Patriots and Welker, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting that Welker has no plans to re-sign with New England before free agency starts. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_09_29_am__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-170488.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_09_29_am__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-170488.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 09:29:33 EST Wes Welker and the Patriots are closing in on a multi-year contract that would allow Welker to finish his career in New England. An NFL source tells Mike Giardi that the two sides are hoping to have something finalized before the onset of free agency on March 12. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_12_18_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-170352.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_12_18_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-170352.html Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:18:33 EST Patriots released FB/LB Spencer Larsen and OL Kyle Hix. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_04_10_27_am__Patriots_Spencer_Larsen_LB-170180.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_04_10_27_am__Patriots_Spencer_Larsen_LB-170180.html Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:27:33 EST Patriots have waived Kyle Hix and released Spencer Larsen. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_06_10_pm__Patriots_Kyle_Hix_T-169839.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_06_10_pm__Patriots_Kyle_Hix_T-169839.html Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:10:33 EST The Patriots waived OT Kyle Hix. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_05_41_pm__Patriots_Kyle_Hix_T-169836.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_05_41_pm__Patriots_Kyle_Hix_T-169836.html Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:41:33 EST The Patriots released FB Spencer Larsen. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_05_40_pm__Patriots_Spencer_Larsen_FB-169835.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_05_40_pm__Patriots_Spencer_Larsen_FB-169835.html Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:40:33 EST The Cardinals are not expected to pursue Pats QB Ryan Mallet. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_27_06_01_pm__Patriots_Ryan_Mallet_QB-169491.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_27_06_01_pm__Patriots_Ryan_Mallet_QB-169491.html Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:01:33 EST A league source told Tom Curran of CSNNE.com at the NFL Combine that Brandon Lloyd isn’t even on the Patriots projected depth chart for 2013 despite having signed a three-year, $12 million deal last offseason. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_27_01_39_pm__Patriots_Brandon_Lloyd_WR-169451.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_27_01_39_pm__Patriots_Brandon_Lloyd_WR-169451.html Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:39:33 EST It's obviously really early in the offseason process, but at this point, Jeff Howe of Boston Herald has been told the Patriots are not actively shopping quarterback Ryan Mallett for a trade. That doesn't mean they aren't listening to offers, if any are even being received, or preparing to explore a trade avenue as they get closer to the start of free agency or even the draft. But for now, all is quiet. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_05_22_pm__Patriots_Ryan_Mallett_QB-169351.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_05_22_pm__Patriots_Ryan_Mallett_QB-169351.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:22:33 EST Odds are against Brandon Lloyd’s $3 million option bonus being picked up by the Patriots, Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe reports. There is still a lot of internal debate about what to do considering the Patriots literally couldn’t line up tomorrow at receiver. Lloyd’s erratic behavior in the locker room and on the practice field proved tiresome, according to a league and team source. If they cut Lloyd, that would save the Patriots $4.9 million against the cap this season, though there will be $2 million in dead money that can be spread out over two years. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_04_39_pm__Patriots_Brandon_Lloyd_WR-169341.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_04_39_pm__Patriots_Brandon_Lloyd_WR-169341.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:39:33 EST Tom Brady's new contract includes a $30 million signing bonus to be paid out over a period that extends to March 15, 2015. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_10_39_am__Patriots_Tom_Brady_QB-169298.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_10_39_am__Patriots_Tom_Brady_QB-169298.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:39:33 EST Rob Gronkowski required another surgery last week on his arm, due to an infection. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_25_07_10_pm__Patriots_Rob_Gronkowski_TE-169254.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_25_07_10_pm__Patriots_Rob_Gronkowski_TE-169254.html Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:10:33 EST Patriots could use money saved by Tom Brady deal to bring back Wes Welker, but the team will also want to re-sign Sebastian Vollmer and Aqib Talib. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_25_05_48_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-169233.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_25_05_48_pm__Patriots_Wes_Welker_WR-169233.html Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:48:33 EST Tom Brady took a huge step today to ensure he'll retire a Patriot, agreeing to a three-year contract extension that will keep him under center for New England through the 2017 season, when he will be 40 years old. For the second time in his illustrious career, Brady is doing something players in this day and age simply do not do: As he did in 2005, Brady, a league source told SI.com, is signing a contract with New England that will pay him significantly less money than the market will bear, in large part to help the Patriots stay competitive for the next five seasons. Amazingly, according to the source, the deal is for an eye-poppingly conservative $27 million, which is less than half his worth by any measure. The extension will pay Brady a $3 milion signing bonus immediately, in addition to salaries of $7 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_25_04_53_pm__Patriots_Tom_Brady_QB-169223.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_25_04_53_pm__Patriots_Tom_Brady_QB-169223.html Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:53:33 EST Patriots OL Dan Connolly had surgery on his right shoulder last week.

Dan Hanzus of NFL.com reports NFL spokesman Greg Aiello was asked about the conviction and possible league discipline. "It is a law enforcement matter," Aiello replied. "We will review the facts under the league's personal conduct policy." http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_20_05_05_pm__Patriots_Alfonzo_Dennard_CB-168576.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_20_05_05_pm__Patriots_Alfonzo_Dennard_CB-168576.html Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:05:33 EST The Browns aren't expected to try and trade for Patriots backup QB Ryan Mallett. http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_10_03_09_pm__Patriots_Ryan_Mallett_QB-167562.html http://www.rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_10_03_09_pm__Patriots_Ryan_Mallett_QB-167562.html Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:09:33 EST Remember when the hullabaloo was raised over a half-naked picture of Rob Gronkowski posing with a noted porn star wearing his NFL jersey hit the internet?
