It didn’t take long for Antonio Brown to find a new home.Brown was released by the Raiders on Saturday morning and agent Drew
Rosenhaus said he’d go to work on finding his client a new place to play.
Rosenhaus told on Saturday afternoon that Brown has agreed to terms with the
Patriots.It’s a one-year deal worth up to $15 million with a $9 million signing
bonus.Brown cannot play against his former team on Sunday night as the Patriots’
roster is locked for the matchup with the Steelers. The signing becomes official
on Monday and Brown’s already given a sneak peek at how he’ll look in his new
uniform.Many wondered if the move would be coming as the Patriots have taken
chances on players who have fallen out of favor with other teams in the past.
Some of those moves — Corey Dillon
White Jason McCourty Jerseys , Randy Moss — have worked out while others — Chad Johnson, Albert Haynesworth — have not been as successful.Watching to see how
this one works out after Brown forced his way out of Oakland without playing a
snap for the team will be one of the biggest storylines of the 2019 season. If
it does work out and Brown plays to his old form, the Patriots offense is going
to be a tough one to stop this year.Preseason week 3 Panthers vs Patriots: 6
players to watch during New England’s dress rehearsal Later today, the New
England Patriots will play their third preseason game of the season when they
visit the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte. Exhibition game number three, of
course
Jason McCourty Jerseys 2019 , is typically the one during which a team’s starters and core rotational guys see the most action – which is why we will
keep a close eye at some of them tonight.Tom Brady: How will he look?It’s no
secret: Tom Brady is the best and most important player on the Patriots’ roster;
his performance is closer tied to New England’s success than that of any other
man on the team. Today, he will see the most in-game action of this preseason
and his performance should give at least some indication about his outlook for
2018, especially when it comes to the chemistry with some of the Patriots’
offseason additions.Rob Gronkowski: Will he play?The NFL’s best tight end is no
stranger to sitting out preseason games: while healthy and in uniform both
times, Rob Gronkowski did not play in the Patriots’ first two exhibition
contests. Whether or not he remains on the sidelines today as well remains to be
seen. If he hits the field, though
White Adrian Clayborn Jerseys , he and his performance after an offseason full of speculation and rumor will naturally be worth keeping a close eye on.Trent
Brown: Will he become more consistent?An impressive training camp helped Trent
Brown establish himself as New England’s top left tackle option and Tom Brady’s
blindside protector. Brown has been a pleasant surprise since getting acquired
via trade from the San Francisco 49ers, but had his ups and downs during last
week’s game. Will he be more consistent tonight when it comes to creating
forward push and playing with a sound technique?Keionta Davis: Will he secure a
roster spot?After missing all of his 2017 rookie season because of a bulging
disk in his neck, Keionta Davis played his way into the rotation on New
England’s defensive edge over the course of the summer. And while tonight’s game
will not make or break his chances of making the 53-man squad, another
impressive performance like last week’s should certainly boost his stock even
more.Ja’Whaun Bentley: Will he continue standing out?The Patriots selected two
linebackers on day three of this year’s draft, and one of them is well on his
way to make the team: fifth-rounder Ja’Whaun Bentley. After a standout game to
start his first NFL preseason
Adrian Clayborn Jerseys 2019 , the Purdue product was given regular practice reps and playing time on New England’s starting defense and continued
to look good. It will be interesting to see if this continues today.Jason
McCourty: Will he outperform his competition?When the Patriots traded for
Cleveland Browns cornerback Jason McCourty in March, he was seen as a rather
safe bet to make the team. Five months later, however, his outlook has changed a
bit as McCourty received irregular time with the starters over the course of
summer and does not appear to be a lock to make the team. Tonight’s game against
Carolina should indicate his status on the team.Who are you looking forward to
today?
