I wouldn't trade Mallet except for an early to mid round 2nd. Otherwise, I'm not trading him.
I'd like a 3rd but would take an early 4th plus 2014 conditional in a minute.
Hoyer or maybe Cassel could be signed as backup.
The Hammer is not Brady's replacement (too early) so why not get max value & use the 4th to trade up in the 2nd? Draft is deep into mid 2nd with players that could fill Pats holes.

What players did the Patriots draft based upon McDaniels' call last season, only to watch them bust?
Seems fair to question whether the Patriots got good value for his talent recommendations in free agency is all. Good chance none will return. As for Lloyd, we will see if the Pats feel he brought sufficient talent to warrant the contract they thought he would be worth.

10. As noted on Feb. 3, the feeling here was that receiver Brandon Lloyd's return to the Patriots in 2013 wasn't a slam dunk, mostly because of economics. That viewpoint hasn't changed. As for any behind-the-scenes/locker-room issues, I believe they would be a small part, if any at all, in the Patriots' decision-making. Lloyd is wired a bit differently, and there was some turbulence at times, but I've seen and heard of a lot worse in the locker room over the past 12 years. My feeling is that if Lloyd was making the veteran minimum in 2013, he'd be a roster lock.

Another factor to consider in a possible Mallett to Cassel change is salary (Hoyer is a RFA). Mallett is on the books for short money while Cassel would probably be looking for at least $2m-3m. (he's a borderline starter). Or in other words, he'd cost a Woodhead or Edelman type FA. Is a 4th rounder plus worth it?
I suppose it depends on ones opinion, but I say no. My price would be a 2nd or no deal. Probably won't happen, but I would be prepared to hold onto Mallett for two seasons. There might be renewed interest in preseason if the injury bug hits teams.

Even so, free agency and the draft are different animals.

Posters seem to think Lloyd got a good contract. He got 12 mil. for three years. Pierre Garcon got twice that much. The receivers we are dreaming about want 14 mil. per year.

Of course, that requires the Pats to sign a third QB before trading. . . .

Who are these receivers who want $14M a year?
