I still have not heard anything about the NE opening, but spring is fast approaching.
NE has a lot of skill players coming back, but they lost most of thier line on both sides of the ball. If NE gets a good coach that can get a good line together they can compete with Dyer and Chs for a playoff spot.
CHS lost thier QB and Some other skill but I heard most of thier line is coming back, so they should compete for the region.
