    Patriots Adding TE Kellen Winslow Jr

    Looks like they found a replacement for Hernandez. Thoughts?

    The New England Patriots have agreed to a one-year contract with former Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. to replace injured tight end Aaron Hernandez, according to a source.

      I would rather face Jr than Hernandez in a couple weeks. An expected move by the Pats*

        31 teams were ignoring the wannabe brittle soldier, with good reason.

          Que up the old "now that he signed with the Patriots he'll have 100 catches this year with 24 TD's." Honestly, if the guy had anything to offer, I'm pretty certain he would have been on a roster at this point.

            He is old with a banged up body. No team wanted to be on the hook for his salary if he gets reinjured, but if he stays healthy, he will make some plays, including TDs.

              I think we all need to chip in and help buy Mr. Winslow a motorbike -- in Patriots colors of course -- to help him celebrate his new signing.

                I thought that's what Shiancoe was for, as an insurance for one of those TEs.

                      hardly a replacement... he doesnt bring anything that Hernandez does.
                      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                      It was all
                      true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
                      mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                        He won't know the offense well enough to have a significant impact against us on 9/30.

                          What salary? Once he was cut by Seattle, that contract is history, right?

                          He did pretty well the last few years for the Bucs, but this is definitely his last hurrah. Injuries, attitude. He's done.

                          Too bad.

                          He coulda had class. He coulda been a contender. He coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what he is, let's face it.
                          Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

                            He could have been Marlon Brando? Well. . . . Perhaps in Mutiny on the Bounty. . . .

                              Yeah, the reason the Seahawks cut him was because his salary would have been guaranteed if he was on the roster week one. Now he can be cut at any time & will be owed nothing except for the games he was on the roster for.
