Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley

With news breaking that the Patriots will release Stefon Diggs before the start of the league year, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are looking at what the Patriots will do to replace their No. 1 receiver. Will they pull off the A.J. Brown trade? Sign Alec Pierce in free agency? Trust a rookie to shoulder the load? We'll find out soon.

Doug Kyed is BACK from the Combine in Indy and is SPILLING HIS GUTS with everything he learned about the Patriots' plans in free agency, the trade market and beyond. The A.J. Brown trade feels less realistic, just like the Maxx Crosby trade. Does that mean Stefon Diggs stays? There's a lot to cover in this one.

The Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed and Andrew Callahan reveal what they learned from league sources at the combine in a special Pats Chat/Pats Interference joint episode. Hurley will be back for the next Pats Chat episode. The guys cover the Patriots’ top targets, plus where they stand on A.J. Brown, Maxx Crosby, Stefon Diggs, Christian Barmore and more.

Doug Kyed checks in from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis with the latest news and thoughts about the potential to acquire A.J. Brown, the expectations on a Stefon Diggs return, the potential to acquire Maxx Crosby, the Christian Barmore situation, plans to sign Christian Gonzalez to a monster extension, and more.
Michael Hurley also shares some personal information about his experience on the Tower of Terror.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are together in person for the FIRST TIME in Pats Chat history, as the Patriots spoke to the media while cleaning out their lockers at Gillette Stadium.
Drake Maye addressed his shoulder injury, Mike Vrabel summed up the state of the Patriots, and Will Campbell explained his postgame media silence. Doug and Michael cover everything from Foxboro while sharing some leftover thoughts on the loss to Seattle and some general forecasting about what the Patriots can do this coming offseason.
