The NFL offseason doesn’t go into full swing until Thursday, when players with expiring contracts officially become free agents and teams can begin negotiations with players and each other. But until then, speculation will continue to run wild. Case in point: Jimmy Garoppolo. The New England Patriots backup quarterback has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors, and on Friday night, Jimmy G posted a photo on Instagram that had Patriots fans’ imaginations running wild. ✌🏼 #LaFamiglia A post shared by Jimmy Garoppolo (@jimmypolo10) on Mar 3, 2017 at 5:45pm PST Is Garoppolo saying peace out to his Patriots family? Is he simply acknowledging how much he enjoys being in New England? Who knows? Things seemed safe for Garoppolo on Wednesday,

What Patriots Typically Value At Offensive Line In NFL Scouting Combine
Share this: Running backs will draw most of the attention at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, but the offensive linemen deserve some attention, too. The Patriots certainly have a type when it comes to running backs, but their drafting trends are less obvious at offensive tackle and along the interior offensive line. The Patriots generally draft heavier offensive tackles with above-average lateral quickness, vertical explosion and strength. Many would assume the Patriots prefer more athletic offensive tackles because of Nate Solder and Sebastian Vollmer, but that historically hasn’t been the case. At guard and center, the Patriots value athleticism much more highly. Guards and centers drafted by the Patriots have above average speed, agility and lateral quickness. Starting guards Joe Thuney and Shaq Mason
