Related: Watch the Patriots players react to receiving the biggest Super Bowl rings ever
Earlier this month, the New England Patriots officially closed the book on the 2018 season: at a party at team owner Robert Kraft’s home, the club handed out the championship rings earned for beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in Super Bowl 53. The rings are the biggest that have ever been created for such a purpose, but their actual value goes far beyond the 422 diamonds they have been made out...
The Texans were blocked from even talking to the Patriots executive.
The Houston Texans have ended their pursuit of Nick Caserio, so he is staying with the New England Patriots. This is obviously huge for the team, as Bill Belichick has said many times how important he is to the team. The saga got me thinking about Caserio, though: the job he does in New . England, and how the team might be effected moving forward.
First of all, Caserio has an absolutely terrible contract. It’s wild to...

Related: Texans drop their pursuit of Nick Caserio
On Friday, the Houston Texans dropped their pursuit of New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio. The story up to that point was filled with considerable intrigue, of course: the Texans parted ways with general manager Brian Gaine one week earlier, presumably to target Caserio for the gig. New England, however, did not answer a request for an interview and instead accused Houston of tampering.
The entire affair ended...

The veteran tight end reflects on his book about fatherhood and the challenges of balancing relationships at home with the demands of an NFL career.
Wide receiver Chris Hogan played in three consecutive Super Bowls with Tom Brady before moving to the Carolina Panthers, where he hopes to record similar accomplishments with Cam Newton. Hogan admitted that the two quarterbacks are very different in the way they play, but in his mind, they share one key factor in common. “That competitive nature, it’s there,” Hogan said, via David Newton of ESPN. “When it comes time to strap on the pads and play football, their focus is on one goal...

The Houston Texans will no longer pursue New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio for their general manager position, the team announced Friday.
The big story of the day has been the drama surrounding Patriots exec Nick Caserio. The Texans announced earlier that they’d be backing down from their pursuit of Caserio, and the Patriots in turn agreed to drop tampering charges. The Texans’ statement from owner Cal McNair indicated there was a provision in Caserio’s contract they were unaware of, and now we have some clarity. It was initially thought he would be allowed to interview since the Texans’ job is a clear promotion,...

The Texans agreed to stop pursuing Caserio, with the Patriots agreeing to drop the tampering charges. Texans owner Cal McNair released a statement with the announcement, and now we have one from Patriots owner Robert Kraft. “The Houston Texans and New England Patriots have always had a great working relationship.

Just days after the New England Patriots filed tampering charging against the Houston Texans for their pursuit of executive Nick Caserio, the Texans are now backing off New England’s top executive and continuing their search for a new general manager. Houston’s CEO released a statement announcing the organization is backing off Caserio after learning of contractual obligations in his deal with the Patriots. According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Patriots are dropping...
New England won’t acquire the tight end.
On Thursday, the New England Patriots added to their new-look tight end depth chart: the reigning world champions acquired Michael Roberts from the Detroit Lions via trade; the Patriots sent a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2020 draft to the Lions in order to get the former fourth-round selection on board. Twenty-four hours after the move was made official, however, the transaction fell through.
As the Lions announced earlier today, Roberts...
Related: Patriots file tampering charges against Texans for attempting to hire Nick Caserio
Exactly one week ago, the Houston Texans parted ways with general manager Brian Gaine — and New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio quickly emerged as the franchise’s top target to fill the suddenly vacated spot. Houston requested an interview with Caserio, unsurprisingly, but the pursuit did not come without controversy: on Wednesday, the Patriots filed tampering charges...
Michael Roberts isn’t going to the Patriots, after all. On Friday, the Lions announced that Roberts reverted back to the team’s roster, “per trade conditions.” Subsequently, the Lions waived the tight end. Earlier this week, the Lions agreed to ship Roberts to the Patriots in exchange for a conditional 7th-round pick in 2020. For one reason or another, the trade effectively fell through. Roberts has yet to break through at the pro level, but he has flashed some ability over the past...
The New England Patriots appeared to make a roster move earlier this week that would bring them some much-needed tight end depth, but the trade has been nixed. The Detroit Lions announced on Friday that they are waiving tight end Michael Roberts after he was reverted back to their roster. The Lions and Patriots had agreed to a trade for Roberts on Thursday. That likely means Roberts failed his physical, so it’s unclear what the future holds for him. Roberts, a fourth-round pick in 2017,...
New England and Detroit will join forces ahead of their preseason game.
When the NFL announced its 2019 preseason schedule in early April, two games jumped off the page as potential opportunities for joint training camp practices with other teams: the preseason opener at the Detroit Lions on August 8, and the second exhibition game against the Tennessee Titans on August 17. Both clubs, of course, are led by former members of the Patriots organization and have multiple ties to New England.
