Smizzy Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Patriots: Jurevicius a wanted man February 2, 2006 2:23 PM ET The News New England is focused on adding some talent to its wide receiving corps and Seattle wideout Joe Jurevicius has been on their wish list for some time. "Obviously (the Patriots) are a great organization, but who knows?" Jurevicius told the Boston Herald. "So many weird things can happen in this game on the business side that I'm not going to worry about it." Jurevicius visited the Patriots as a free agent in 2002 before signing with Tampa Bay and will once again become an unrestricted free agent in March. Our View Jurevicius caught 10 touchdowns in 2005 and had a career season filling in for an injured Darrell Jackson in Seattle. At 6-5 he represents a rare commodity on the free agent market. The eight-year veteran has said he has every intention of staying in Seattle, but New England has four receivers currently without contracts for 2006 and could make a substantial offer to sway his opinion.

SouthernJet Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Opinions ? does this surprise you? a quality guy, solid player who is willing to take less to play for a quality team that has playoff possibilities to end his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 JJ is a poor man's David Givens, if you ask me. Looks like Givens wants more than the Pats are willing to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 does this surprise you? a quality guy, solid player who is willing to take less to play for a quality team that has playoff possibilities to end his career. Doubt he takes less money to play in NE. In fact as soon as he mentioned the word business I think states otherwise. Solid acquisition for any team in need of a complimentary WR.

The Troll Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Jurevicious is one of the most under-rated recievers in the league. He's tall, doesn't drop passes, and is tough as nails. Seeing him go to New England would be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenBeans Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Opinions ? I think Joe should worry about his next game on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing him go to New England would be terrible. Bingo - that guy defines clutch and you don't want to have him hit you either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Opinions ? Would have been a great move by the Pats in 2002. Always liked the guy, but he is getting up there in age. I'd rather go with speed and youth, especially at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I think JJ would be a good pick up. Regardless of if he is getting up there in age he still can make plays and it is hard to teach size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather go with speed and youth, especially at WR. Jurevious is deadly in the slot. There are very few nickel-backs in the league that can guard him. If the Pats would start Davis alongside Branch with Jurevicious in the slot, they would be very hard to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
