NEWS On Future Patriots WR1 Option | The Nick Cattles Show 

Zazbird, I agree with you. An elite left tackle will provide the blind side protection Drake May needs, as well as great run blocking for Ramondre and our other backs. With a solidified O line, then we can go all out for a #1 receiver. John McHatton

I'm willing to see how Okorafor looks with pads on and how Wallace develops. But, if those two guys don't work out, I agree - Priority #1 is 100% a LT.

Polke could be Tee Higgins. I'd be interested in Higgins cause we need an true X, but I don't view Higgins as a true #1 WR. You know it when you see it. Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Aj Brown are all examples of this.

Thanks for listening!

There are certainly reasons. They're not trading him now b/c they want to "make a run" with Higgins/Chase/Burrow this year. Again, IF Cincy ends up playing worse than expected or Burrow gets injured, then they're looking at dealing him for an asset, franchising him again and trying to leverage another team while risking him getting hurt post-deadline, or letting him walk as a UFA. I don't think they're going to deal him before the season and never implied that in the pod.

​​@@thenickcattlesDeadline deals in the NFL aren't really a thing like other sports. That said I suppose that could happen. But if you can keep the player AND get a trade return, I don't see why you'd choose to get rid of them (they would have to really, really stink, like 2 wins). All good, your content is solid, thanks man. Time to dream was around the draft. Go Pats.

im a huge Judon fan, but a bigger Pats fan and I agree.

I'm more than fine w/ Judon, IF the money is reasonable and it only runs through '25. I don't think he's going to hold out. Just don't see that making any sense.

​@@thenickcattles I'd let him sit at home before I gave him more money. Team is cellar-dwelling either way. Two years in a row "holding out", 30+ as the highest paid player and injured. Gtfoh. Get a young asset. Send him to a contender. Keion is the future, Uche/Jennings should be solid opposite.

Ok I checked. Bengals drafted Jermaine Burton. He’s the future Higgins replacement.

Teams aren’t letting #1 WR’s hit free agency. You got to draft those guys now & let’s face it. Bill had a lot of bad luck with drafting WR’s. Let’s see how Polk & Baker work out & they may not make big impact as rookies, but doesn’t mean they won’t be any good.

There's no way the SF 49'ers do that unless it's like Peppers or Judon, this years 2 and next years 2 and maybe another pick. They are going to ask for our 1st rounder for aieuk
