One Shoe Drops

I guess the pigskin gridiron cognoscenti were right about Dont'a Hightower re-signing with the Patriots.

Thank the Pigskin Jesus. I don't know how much longer I could've held my breath.

Intrigue

Dont'a Hightower has visited the Jets and Steelers. The Jets, apparently oblivious to the irony, fed Hightower cupcakes while the Steelers had Beach Boys music playing in their heads as Dont'a left the building. Malcolm Butler is heading to the Big Easy to get a sense of his true market value while the Texans would like his agent to know Butler could find a nice new home at Patriots South.

How intense have the Hightower/Butler narratives been?

Nobody's mentioned Jimmy Garoppolo for almost 24 hours.

Oops!

Reset the Garoppolo Clock to zero!

Belichick Does Belichick

On the third day, Bill Belichick rested.

Sort of.

No News/Good News

Dont'a Hightower still hasn't signed with another team?

Yes?

Okay then.

How You Like Me Now

If you thought it was going to be tough to top the Stephon Gilmore signing, Bill Belichick just said, "Hold my beer."

A Day of Team Building

So much for the Patriots sitting out the first day feeding frenzy of free agency…

Prop Bets on the Future

Life itself is a prop bet, isn't it? As Aristotle once said, we're all day to day.

I'm pretty sure that was Aristotle.
