BSJ Daily Briefing 11.04.20: Patriots add a little; Offense made progress; Celtics trade rumors

Good afternoon!

(This totally slipped my mind ... been a little distracted last night and today ... weird, wonder what's going on?)

Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen...

________________

• The Patriots didn't ship anyone out before the trade deadline, and then brought in WR Isaiah Ford for a sixth from Miami, and claimed DT Isaiah Mack from the Titans. Will have more on both in a bit.


• From the team: "Ford, 24, originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick (237th overall) by Miami out of Virginia Tech in the 2017 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-2, 201-pounder has played in 16 career games and has 41 receptions for 428 yards. After spending his rookie season in 2017 on injured reserve, Ford split his time between the practice squad and the 53-man roster in 2018 and 2019. He played in seven games with Miami in 2020 and recorded 18 receptions for 184 yards."


• "Mack, 24, was signed by Tennessee as a rookie free agent on May 10, 2019, out of Chattanooga. The 6-foot-1, 299-pounder appeared in 13 games with one start as a rookie and registered 11 total tackles, 1 ½ sacks, and one fumble recovery. He was inactive for all three of Tennessee’s postseason games last year. Mack played in six games for Tennessee in 2020 and recorded two tackles. He was released by Tennessee on Nov. 2."


• I got a little excited about what I saw out of Cam Newton and the Patriots' offense in the second half vs. Buffalo.


• New Patriots pod has a ton of good discussion.


• Who's up for Celtics draft night rumors?


• Conor's ranking the Bruins' prospects


• Will Red Sox go with another rookie manager?
