I don't understand why the Patriots would not sign T.O as an excellent WR2, with Welker coming off all the injuries. He may not have the downhill speed anymore, but he's got the size, and you wouldnt necessarliy be able to double Randy all the time. I mean he had 700 plus yards receiving in Buffalo last year!
I think it's dumb not to sign him to a 1 year deal..
How can they NOT sign T.O?

Cause he ruined every team he was ever on? We had locker room issues and BB is trying to clean house right now. Why would he bring in the biggest (tied with Marshall imo) locker room malcontent when he's trying so hard to remove the cancer?

NO THANK YOU.... besides the locker room problems. He would last 3 weeks before fans start to complain about him. He drops sooooooo many balls. Imagine Brady throwing a pass on the numbers and he buffles it on 3rd or 4th down. -

LOL! Can you imagine Randy and TO in the same locker room?! It seems like this off-season is totally geared towards getting back to the same kind of team that won Super Bowls. No stars and no drama.
Anyone waiting for the Pats to sign a huge name is going to be VERY disappointed, it's not BB's style. Except it or change teams. -

TO wants to be with his buddy 85.
I don't think he was very obnoxious last year in Buffalo, then again he did very little. If he had better hands I bet they would look at him, as is, I don't think so. -

1-Team Chemistry
2- Bills didn't even throw the ball to him! You sign a player for his ability now, not what they were yesterday

The Pats will need to fill some of their holes in FA or trades. It doesn't have to be before the draft, but they can't fill them all in the draft. Maybe they focus on preseason cuts.... -

AHhh yah... lets see if you had to build ur team around david patten or T.O.
Talent wise and physically T.O. makes Patten look like a little school girl hands down, but yah 55 catches and 800 yards last year... with a crappy qb... and lee evans opposite of him hmm htats DEF. WASHED up. So what do you call David Patten?
Oh but every body praised BB for bringing in Josh reed who was on the same team as TO last year and the guy did absolutely NOTHING with the same qb. like ten less catches. LOL this is why people in here are ridiculous -

OK so then why is david patten on our team? Because last time i checked he was watching the saints win the superbowl on the couch last year, even though they signed him at the begining of the year...
so what WE sign him because how fast he his route abilities to the fridge for a beer is now, come on be realistic. -

I hope u mean he did very little to be obnoxious... because on the field
55 rec. for 800 yards... 16 games with the qb he had... is far from LITTLE.
Also he only had 10-12 drops last year... I believe it was.
You cant deny this guy is a physical freak of nature and is in better shape then most 25 year olds. Give him one year why not. -

The Pats have Brandon Tate as basically a red shirt rookie and a ton of draft pics to get a No2 WR. If Tate still isn't healthy and we draft a chad jackson again. If TO is available at that point, it would have to be somewhere into training camp. Then yes sign him to a one year deal. I actually think Moss could deal with it. TO's is usually good with his team for the 1st year then becomes a cancer latter on. He hated Buffalo, who wouldn't. I'm surprised he wasn't worse last year. I think TB and BB could keep him in line. -

While I want the Patriots to do something this off season to better the team, this is one that I can say no to!
