When I read his comments in this article was when I first started to think he'd be leaving. When a player who can be franchised is openly talking about having liked his time there and not ruling out staying he's probably leaving. SOP is to say you love it here, want to finish your career with team that drafted you, yada, yada ,yada.
So it has seemed to be that Henry wanted to hit UFA and I'll be curious to see if it's related to money or role, just hard to think he'd be in such a rush to leave Herbert. But he was far less efficient on a per target basis with Herbert then with Rivers.

Pretty much a worst case scenario. Anyone feel differently? I feel like he just went from around a 5-10 ranking to outside of the top 12, maybe even top 15.

Yeah, it's really a bad situation IMO. Like I said in the Jets thread about Jonnu, what are they going to do, walk down the field and hand him the ball?

Oh yeah. Guess who's got 2 thumbs and a TE room of Jonnu and Henry. BB, and this guy!
Unrelated, is 4 too high for Pitts?

They're going to cannibalize each other. Even if the MOVE TE role has value... both of them have played the MOVE TE in their previous teams. It's going to be a weekly guessing game which guy will capitalize.
No.
You hope for 2 main things when you got a FA player you want to land well.
Good fantasy landing spot obviously to get solid usage with good offense. Not looking good.
Get well paid, which is a sign of commitment which can often be a sign of usage. I've not seen a breakdown of numbers so this might change for me but right now it sure seems like he took less then Jonnu.

Jonnu = Gronk
Henry = Hernandez
Heavy run game with TEs running up both seams.

Don’t mind this from a fantasy perspective. He only had four games north of 50 yards last season. Pats don’t have any WRs worth a damn, they know how to use TEs, QB is the biggest question.
Do they? I mean they were able to use a TE that is likely the best that ever played in conjunction with another that was a mismatch while having the GOAT QB getting them the ball. Besides that when have they shown they know how to use TE's?

This news would be far more interesting if Brady was the QB.
But without a whole lot of receiving weapons Henry might still be valuable. Not as valuable as being paired with a bright young talent at QB in SD, but not a total value killer.
#RIP your dynasty team. If someone buying, you should probably be selling.

When that was effective the Pats had
1. an OL (remember those Visa 7 “layers of protection” commercials? Yeah, that’s not this OL. Not remotely close
2. Wide receivers who could take coverage away, leaving Gronk & the gang banger open.
3. An effective running game & James White as an elite target. From the sounds if things, white won’t be back.
4. oh yeah - a HOF QB in his prime who loved throwing to TEs.
Which leaves a whole lot of questions in my mind about how effective this offense will be.
He did not take less then Jonnu, based on numbers I just saw Henry will do a little better first 3 years of his deal then Jonnu and IMO not getting that 4th year that Jonnu did was also better for Henry.
Also I read yesterday the Giants were in on Henry. Phew. Cam can't throw anymore but once they get a QB I can at least trust NE to know how to utilize Henry, that trust did not exist with an offense run by Garrett.

Lets discuss.
The Pats finished 7-9 last year. Larry Izzo had 199 yards receiving as the top TE. I'm aware the everything is black white shark pool community wants to assess the current situation as "Cam is Toast. /thread" but if NE's coaching staff doesn't agree with this assessment I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

In the could-be-something, could-be-nothing category, Hunter Henry injured his shoulder in practice yesterday and left mid-practice yesterday.
Per Mike Reiss: "Patriots TE Hunter Henry injured his shoulder in Sunday's practice, and is having an MRI, per a source. While initial indications are that the injury doesn't appear serious, the injury is painful and Henry could miss time in the preseason."

When it happened, he kept practicing til he couldn't raise it. Coaches asked him if he wanted to come out and he said he could roll. At about a half hour later, someone sent him to the doc. I would not want to be that coach if this mri comes back badly

Any updates? Did he miss the entire preseason? There was speculation he would get snaps Sunday and haven't seen any follow up.

Very good news, and I like his prospects a lot better with Mac under center. I might be crazy.

I'm not a doctor and you could very well be crazy. But not over this. There is no doubt the Mac Jones tide (pardon the pun) raises all the fantasy fortunes in NE.
