Jabar Gaffney returns to the Pats-- Thu May 3 9:20 am -- WR signs two-year deal
Former Redskins WR Jabar Gaffney has agreed to a two-year deal with the Patriots, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.(NFL.com)
FF Today's Take:Gaffney is a decent receiver but is unlikely to get fantasy worthy targets playing behind a slew of stars that include Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd.
Patriots re-sign Deion Branch-- Fri Mar 30 8:00 pm -- Veteran WR joins deep receiving corps
The New England Patriots have re-signed wide receiver Deion Branch and signed free agent fullbacks Tony Fiammetta and Spencer Larsen. Branch had 51 catches for 702 yards and five touchdowns last season. He was drafted by the Patriots in 2002, traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2006, and re-acquired in 2010. He is a holdover in a deep wide receiver corps that added free agents Brandon Lloyd, Donte’ Stallworth and Anthony Gonzalez in the offseason.(Yahoo Sports)
FF Today's Take:It's no secret that Tom Brady's favorite targets are Wes Welker and his two young tight ends, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. While Lloyd should emerge as a reliable contributor, don't expect Stallworth, Gonzalez or Branch to post fantasy worthy statistics if New England's starting offense is healthy.
Branch re-signs with New England-- Thu Mar 22 3:35 pm -- One-year deal
The New England Patriots reached agreement Thursday on a one-year deal with receiver Deion Branch, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The Patriots have added to an already talented receiver group this offseason, reaching deals with Brandon Lloyd, Anthony Gonzalez and Donte' Stallworth.(ESPN)
FF Today's Take:This all but spells the end for Chad Ochocinco in New England and Branch is destined to be a #4 or #5 option given the signing of Brandon Lloyd. Branch's knowledge of the offense is allowing him to hang around for one more year but he should go undrafted in the majority of fantasy leagues this summer.
Patriots add WR Brandon Lloyd-- Sat Mar 17 8:40 pm -- Reunited with Josh McDaniels
Brandon Lloyd finally has his wish: tonight he and the Patriots finalized the terms of a contract that will bring the receiver to New England, a league source confirmed. The 30-year old Lloyd made no secret of the fact that he wanted to play for the Patriots, where he would be reunited with Josh McDaniels. Over the last couple of years, Lloyd has had success playing for McDaniels, first in Denver and then with the Rams.(Boston Globe)
FF Today's Take:The deal is reportedly for three years and $12 million. Lloyd's transition into the Patriots offense should be a smooth one as he's very familiar with Josh McDaniels and his offensive system. Lloyd's signing could also mean Chad Ochocinco and/or Deion Branch are on their way out of New England.
WRs Manningham, Lloyd to visit 49ers-- Wed Mar 14 8:25 pm -- San Francisco pursuing top remaining free agent receivers
Former Giants WR Mario Manningham has a free-agent visit scheduled with the 49ers, a league source said Wednesday. Manningham has spent all four of his seasons with the Giants, who made him a third-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. He made a clutch catch in the Giants’ victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, but finished the regular season with 523 receiving yards while playing behind WRs Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks on the depth chart. The 49ers have also had visits with WRs Chaz Schilens and Brandon Lloyd.(NFL.com)
FF Today's Take:The turbulent 2012 offseason continues! For fantasy purposes, Lloyd's meetings with new teams are of greater significance than Manningham's, as the former New York Giant virtually dropped off of the fantasy radar last season with a slew of injuries and inconsistent performances. Lloyd has also reportedly expressed interest in joining the New England Patriots.
