Crawford takes $4mil pay cut
Restructure 1 of Martin or Lawrence
Sign: Jimmy Smith, Mike Daniels and Taylor Gabriel
Smith is a vet that has plenty left int he tank and should be an instant plug and play starter. 2/$18M w/9 guaranteed
Daniels reunites with McCarthy as a rotational DT. If healthy and kept on a snap count he could be affective cheap signing. 1/$4M w/ 2 guaranteed
Gabriel is a fast deep pay threat that can also make plays in space. Not a bad 3rd/4th receiving option. 2/$10M w/ 5 guaranteed
Draft trade: Pats move up to 17 to draft Jordan Love. We receive 23, 87, and 125 for 17 and 233

Zack Baun LB/DE Wiconsin- The #2 pass rusher in this draft class in my opinion. Slightly undersized is only complaint you can find.1.54 10 yard split is elite (same as WR Justin Jefferson) and shows the dip and flexibility to turn the counter. Can play off ball LB effectively as well. His nfl.com profile comparison is Clay Matthews and I don't see it as far off.

Bryce Hall CB Virgina- Big corner with great ball skills. Good overall coverage skills and always turns and finds the ball. This is a very deep CB class and letting a very good prospect like Hall fall to us in the 2nd is the right move imo.

Jabari Zuniga DE Florida- College career never took off as it should have because of injuries, but has showed big potential and has great athletic ability. May never be more than a situational pass rusher, but has the size and speed to be a very affective 1. Quinn as the comparison is another 1 I can easily see

Antonio Gibson WR Memphis- Dynamic athlete that played both WR and RB, also returned kicks. Juco transfer that got a late start and is still raw, but there no doubting his playmaking ability with the ball in his hand. Think of a more athletic Ty Montgomery.

Trade 122 and 127 for 102

Cameron Clark OT Charlotte- Small school LT with a good frame. He may end up better off at OG because of slightly heavy feet, but the potential is there to develop.

Kamren Curl S Arkansas- 3 year starter at SS for Arkansas. Jack of all trades, but master of none type of guy. Can cover and tackle, but doesn't jump out in 1 category. Should make a solid backup that can play either S spot if needed.
