Exploring hot topics around the New England Patriots in mailbag form:
Hi Mike. Was re-reading your WR piece from last week. If Decker fits in well and develops a chemistry with TB plus taking into account his time with McDaniels in DEN, is he a threat to Dorsett (even though he's not the speedy deep threat PD is)?
Brian, I don't view the arrival of Eric Decker (signed on Aug. 3) as having a direct trickle-down effect on Phillip Dorsett's chances of sticking. I think Dorsett is safe for the opening of the season, especially given Julian Edelman's four-game suspension.
