Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley

The Patriots finally got their Stefon Diggs replacement in Romeo Doubs. While that's not Alec Pierce or A.J. Brown, Doug Kyed says there's plenty of upside with Doubs. Michael Hurley agrees but labels Doubs a firm No. 2, a step below "2ish."
Doug and Mike also discuss the signing of Alijah Vera-Tucker on the O-line, giving an updated perspective on the Patriots' progress in free agency.

The legal tampering window opened in the NFL, and the Patriots' moves were ... underwhelming. They signed pass rusher Dre'Mont Jones and fullback Reggie Gilliam, but they still have some massive question marks on the roster.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down while laying out what might come next after the biggest-ticket free-agent options are off the board.

With news breaking that the Patriots will release Stefon Diggs before the start of the league year, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are looking at what the Patriots will do to replace their No. 1 receiver. Will they pull off the A.J. Brown trade? Sign Alec Pierce in free agency? Trust a rookie to shoulder the load? We'll find out soon.

Doug Kyed is BACK from the Combine in Indy and is SPILLING HIS GUTS with everything he learned about the Patriots' plans in free agency, the trade market and beyond. The A.J. Brown trade feels less realistic, just like the Maxx Crosby trade. Does that mean Stefon Diggs stays? There's a lot to cover in this one.

The Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed and Andrew Callahan reveal what they learned from league sources at the combine in a special Pats Chat/Pats Interference joint episode. Hurley will be back for the next Pats Chat episode. The guys cover the Patriots’ top targets, plus where they stand on A.J. Brown, Maxx Crosby, Stefon Diggs, Christian Barmore and more.
