My first reaction to news Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse was opting out of the 2020 season? Uh-oh.
Which really didn't make any sense. LaCosse was part of a punchless tight end group in 2019. He was hurt in the Patriots first preseason game and when he returned he caught 13 passes in the 11 games he played.
He is not a diamond in the rough. He's not a player the whole league's been sleeping on since he was drafted in 2015. He's a lower-level player subtracted from a lower-level group. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
