Patriots Round up for week end May 22nd 2021.

There's a bunch of small stories, questions, and rumors going on with the Patriots but nothing really worth writing another seperate article over. So after spending the past hour seeing what was out there, here is a Patriots roundup of everything going on around the Patriots.

- The Patriots have had talks inside the organization about Julio Jones but will they amount to anything? 

- Julio Jones wants to play with Cam Newton but will he scrap his contract to play with Cam. And what are the Falcons asking for him? Also, is Julio Jones willing to play with another quarterback if Cam loses the competition?

- The Patriots re-signed journeyman quarterback Brian Hoyer. Everyone can agree he's there to help Jones. Is Belichick using Hoyer as a quarterback coach while taking advantage of the rules?

-The Patriots are reportedly impressed with everything they're seeing from Mac Jones, was his ceiling set too low? Can Jones beat out Cam and start week one?

-Fans disagree about what the Hoyer signing means for Stidham and Newton. Will Hoyer even be on the 53 man roster? Could Jones play well enough both Stidham and Newton get cut?

-Did Hoyer really turn down offers from the Jets and Dolphins to stay with the Patriots?

-Are Cam and Stiddy showing more urgency in 2021? Are both quarterbacks viewed as liabilities with their careers on the line, are they both already on the block?

- Patriots bring in a slew of camp bodies including offensive linemen Alex Redmond and James Ferentz. Running back Tyler Gaffney and safety Adrian Colbert.

- Now on his seventh season, could Joe Cardona be on the bubble? Patriots brought in Wes Farnsworth to compete for the position. The average career for a long snapper is only six seasons, If Cardona wins the battle this will be his seventh.

-Did Ernie Adams get a steal with his selection of receiver Tre Nixon and how will the Patriots use him?

-Are fans sleeping on return specialist Gunner Olszewski's ability to play the slot? Belichick appeared to hesitate on playing Meyers in 2020, did he also hesitate on playing Olszewski?

-The Patriots have signed five of their eight draft picks. Jones, Baremore, and Perkins have yet to sign. Does it benefit the Patriots in anyway with them not signing at the moment?

-Half of the Patriots 2020 opt outs are no longer with the team, are anymore currently on the bubble due to opting out on Belichick?

-Julian Edelman has came out and said he's a one team player but the former Patriots in Tampa are badgering him. How much longer can he with stand the pressure, and might the badgering lead to a late season return to Foxboro to spite Patriots south?

-Are Patriots fans expecting too much from Baremore's run stopping abilities? Is Baremore closer to a Richard Seymour 2.0 than Big Vince Wolfork? Baremore is known for his pass rush ability but does he have the run stopping ability fans are expecting?

-Ex Patriots offensive lineman experienced racism or at least discrimination when applying for a head coaching job this spring. Being told by an NFL team, "you're not the right minority." I did cover this but felt it needed to be brought back up.

-Questions over if the Patriots will continue to run a "Big Nickle", "3-2-6" and "Big Dime" or if they will revert back to a 3-4 / 4-3 hybrid defense with the Hightower back.

-A bitter and irrelevant Jim McMahon trying to find another 15 minutes of fame by verbally attacking Bill Belichick.

-Are the Patriots interested in Richard Sherman? Does he have the skills to transition to safety and extend his career? How much does he have in the tank? The rumors are swirling.

- With three kickers on the roster, is Nick Folk a lock for the 2021 nfl season?

-Does Nick Cesario have interest in Stidham? Have there been actual trade talks and is Cesario waiting to see what's going on with Watson before pulling the trigger?

-Patriots do humanitarian work and deliver covid vaccines to El-Salvador. 

-Some of the Patriots roster are viewing 2020 as an extended preseason. Is that how the organization viewed the season, and if so what does that mean for returning players from the 2020 roster?

-Will the the Patriots keep all five tight ends and only four receivers, not including Slater, and run almost exclusively 13, 14, and 15 personnel sets? Are the Patriots set to unleash the 'magic three tight end offense' on the NFL? Will the Patriots bring back the four tight end set and run a five tight end set with Keene in the backfield?

-Did Robert Kraft mention Cam Newton, so not to say the wrong thing and step on Belichick's toes. Was mentioning Cam Newton not to tip teams off for a potential Jones start? Was the Hoyer signing a Bill Belichick contract and Idea or Robert Kraft's?

These were the headlines, questions, and rumors going around the Patriots for the week of Saturday May 22, 2001.
