Great re-signing, he basically beat Kramdi's season numbers in 3 less games, probably deserves to start at SAM.  What to do with Kramdi?  Long-term, Safety is his best option, Allen looked good but so what, they need the ratio and defensive QB flexibility he can't provide and they surely paid Kramdi high dolla to play.

You play Kramdi, every snap.  Guy's been excellent.

I'm with Pigskin, Griffin was never going anywhere.

Griffin had a very good 2025 13 games, 47 DTs, 8 STs, 1 QS. He's only 27 and has size, speed, and is good on D and teams. Didn't think he was going anywhere.

Losing is still the best overall outcome for this year.

But they didn't get a clean loss... they had to pick a point and then lose.

It was more about ratio, roster size and whether Woodbey pushed ahead of him.

Good signing, I think? Sure were loads of complaints on Pat last year.

Another player I didn't expect back. He's a good player and I don't think we had to break the bank to keep him. I'm not sure where he fits in exactly after the emergence of Woodbey. All that said, injuries happen in TC and how we decide on how to use our ratio is a TBD. He is versatile and is very productive. Plays well on ST's too.

I thought he might look elsewhere for more of a full time role. However I'm happy to see him return.

It's remarkable that the Patriots recovered so quickly. Three years?  While other teams can't do anything for decades.

Entertaining games so far... even Seahawks crushing the niners.

Defence and running is back in the NFL.

He played three seasons (2019-21) at South Dakota State, including 37 starts in 39 games and in 2019 was named to the Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Newcomer Team. He started his collegiate career at Southwest Minnesota State, playing two seasons there 92016-17).
