The Troll Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Patriots | Interested in Hilliard - from www.KFFL.com Sun, 6 Mar 2005 09:07:49 -0800 Katherine Smith, of the Tampa Tribune, reports the New England Patriots have reportedly expressed interest in free agent WR Ike Hilliard (Giants). IMO, Hilliard is a lost cause. I don't know why the Patriots seem so interested in WRs (Mason, Hilliard) when they already have a solid corps, even without Patten. Hilliard seems to be another one of those reclammation projects and I hope the Pats sign him. It won't work this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Since KFFL will let anybody report for them, I don't find the source very reliable. Even if they do want him, they're not going to sign him to a contract that is going to cripple the team. They always bring in projects at WR. Donald Hayes? JJ Stokes? Remember those guys? Yeah they all wound up sucking but they hardly hurt us in any way. Sometimes it's just worth a gamble. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in. He would make a good third receiver if Johnson isn't ready to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said KFFL will report anything. What in the hell does a reporter in Florida know about what's going on in New York. But like I said, who cares, let it be legit. No problems here. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Wow I can just feel the love in this board today. I was just joking around. But now that I think about it the story might be coming out of Hilliard's camp since he is from florida. So who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Why would New England want an injury proned guy like Hillard? The 4 main guys they have right now are a pretty good bunch of speedy, talented guys. Branch, Givens, Johnson and Sam...that's all you need New England, maybe a 2nd day WR to cap it off as a #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, I can't see is getting him. I just looked on KFFL and just below that story it says the Bucs are also interested in him. I would have to think he would rather go back to Florida.

Bethel has been 'inactive' for at least two games over the last two seasons because of his attitiude. P.K. Sam was suspended for the Superbowl. He was on IR at the time and whatever his transgression, Belichick thought he should stay home. Hilliard could be a nice third wideout in the event the other two still have their heads up there arses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. less than it would have cost the Pats to keep Patton or maybe Brown (whom most Pats fans call a #4 or worse only now). or will Hilliard demand #2 money as a minimum? is he worth it to the Pats at #2 WR money??

Good point, but I doubt it. I was just saying there was a need for depth and Bethel and P.K. are not it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Why would New England want an injury proned guy like Hillard? That's pretty funny coming from a Jet fan just after his team traded for a #1 WR with a bad wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coles has played in every game over the last 4 years. That is not exactly INJURY PRONE. Tx shoots. The shot is REJECTED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
