why can't we trade like NE

just heard that NE traded QB Graoppalo for a 2nd round pick (similar to a low 1st round pick). can we get a 2nd or 3rd round for MB????

 

No. With his drug past and suspensions and penchant for social media outbursts, a 5th round would be high for him, I suspect.

 

It's confirmed, now the interesting part will be how he pans out. None of these coveted NE cast offs or supposed successors has lit their teams much less the world on fire. Now some are gonna say "why didn't we trade a 2nd for him"? Because bill dealt outside the division and as I said, buyers remorse for going after NE QB cast offs. MB ain't gonna yield Jack... He'll Holmes only got a 5th and he's a SB MVP although Pitt probably could've gotten more if they weren't just looking to unload... Maybe not who knows.

 

so would you trade our backup QB in midseason with Ben's injury history?
not that I wish injuries on anyone but with both Garropolo and Brissett traded what will the Pats do if Brady gets hurt?

 

Bring B Hoyer back?

Either way, this could play very well in the Steelers favor... Maybe

 

Right now Martavis is not going to get you anything higher than a 4th round pick and that's even a stretch. The sad thing is he has high second round talent if he just grows up a bit.

 

Interesting trade. I thought Cassell would be really good when he left NE but he wasn't.

 

Should Brady go down, who is the back up in N.E. now? Will he be able to overcome a poor defense and keep the ship afloat until Brady gets back?

 

I really hope this ends up biting them in the butt. If Brady misses a couple games due to injury it will. I don't care how good Belichick is, you can't just plug and play at that position.

Also, they clearly plan to sign Hoyer as their back up. I'd dump Landry and sign Hoyer just to mess up their plans!

 

They couldnt sign JG to a long term deal, he wasnt about to sign a deal for backup money so getting a high two pick was best for both parties, the niners will pay him starter money which was what he wants and gives them a QB that shanahan can win with, I hope they can win 8 in a row to make that 2 pick drop in the pick order......

 

Suprised by this personally.


Jimmy G. should have been traded at the beginning of the season. His value was much higher then. A second round pick is nice but they definitley could have receieved something better had they dealt Jimmy at the beginning of the season.

 

Rumore that they are close to a deal with Detroit for the rights to Calvin Johnson

 

No. THE PATRIOTS DO NOT NEED MORE HELP.

 

That's the rumor circulating around lions boards.

 

The Pats look ahead better than any , They also showcase BU'S to create value . This draft has a lot of good QB'S it is a great move to get a extra high pick.Look what he did with Jacoby . He changed the game plan to fit the style of the QB this allowed him to shine and increased his value .

I think we could still get a 3 for Bryant. To many Teams need a deep threat and a red zone threat . Those Teams can see the tape ,they can see that him and Ben are a bad fit . Ben has really never been a great deep ball guy.

 

Well if somebody gave us a 2nd rounder for Jones I'm sure he would be shipped.

You got to have something somebody wants to get a decent return and in turn you got to be willing to part with it.

 

So assuming that Garopollo fits with the 49ers and isn't just a rent-a-player for 8 weeks, does this take the 49ers off the table for the services of Cousins? That could be potentially good news for the Steelers if they wanted to pursue him.

 

Jay Ajayi to the Eagles is the bigger trade.

Only for a 4th rounder?

I know the Dolphins got pounded but heck your still 4-3 on the season. If I was a paying dolphins ticket holder I'd be mad as heck.
Talk about waving a white flag.

 

The Eagles are after calvin J as well, they traded with miami yesterday for running back Ajayi and are serious about obtaining calvin johnson, they would probably trade us for MB if they cant land CJ but the trade deadline is looming....

 

I would trad LJ for a cold Beer and a Philly Cheese Steak. Heck the beer doesn't even have to be cold.

 

You want to trade like NE. You have to make your backup QB look good and play him some. Plus Josh McDaniels knows how to design his offense around his QB's to make them look good. What was NE record when Josh was at denver

 

If the Steelers made this trade, there would be an inane number of negative posts. NE does it and there is a question as to why we can’t.

This is where a particular bell curve fits in.

 

Damn pats just die already so we can win our 7th and let ben retire a champ

 

I would be pissed and making negative posts if Steelers got Garrapolo from the Patriots. Only because I'd rather have Cousins or Smith in 2018 if Ben retires.
