Philly Inquirer: Pats may be willing to trade a TE for Feeley
From the Inquirer:
Quote:
New England continues to be one of the more interesting suitors for Feeley because it may be willing to trade one of its tight ends. The Patriots would definitely be willing to deal Alex Smith, a 2005 third-round pick by Tampa Bay who was traded to the Patriots for a fifth-round pick in the off-season. The other tight ends on the New England roster are Ben Watson, Chris Baker and David Thomas. All three are ahead of Smith on the depth chart posted on New England's Web site.
The Eagles have been light at tight end since rookie Cornelius Ingram tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in early August. Brent Celek is the starter, but the backup situation is not clear.
Considering Smith is unlikely to make the final roster, I would definitely make that trade. At least the Pats wouldn't have wasted a fifth round pick that way.

Yeah, I'd make that trade too, although I don't know if BB really wants Feeley or not.

Sirius NFL was talking about this an hour ago and they said Smith for Freeley is a good trade but may have to have the Pats hand over a late draft pick as well.
They also suggested a longshot trade....Lawrence Maroney for Feeley and Philly's 3rd rounder next season - I doubt that will happen,especially if Morris is ailing

I don't see Maroney getting traded for any reason especially not to the Eagles. What would the Eagles do with a RB? Even Westbrook needs to make his living as much as a a receiver as a runner to be what he is. Westbrook may be the best all purpose RB ever, but he has only gotten over a 1,000 yards rushing in a season twice. How would Maroney get any touches there.

Morris for Feeley and a 3rd I'd consider. . . .
And, really, don't the Pats have the Eagles' 7th as "change" from the Lewis trade?

I thought the idea of Philly acquiring Maroney was a bit bizzarre myself,especially considering that not only do they have the all purpose Westbrook but they drafted a RB high up - The only way I could see Philly taking Maroney is if another team has set up a trade with Philly with the assumption that Maroney is traded to them for a 3 way trade - But that does not seem likely,if fact impossible to happen.

Re: Philly Inquirer: Pats may be willing to trade a TE for Feeley
Smith for Feeley straight-up would be kind of a steal, since the Pats will probably cut Smith anyway. If they have to send a 7th-rounder along with Smith for Feeley, that's fine by me.
Watson, on the other hand, they should get Feeley AND a pick.
With the age and injury history of Morris, Taylor, and Faulk, I doubt they trade Maroney. We can debate whether or not Maroney has a bright future in the league, but I think the Pats probably figure there's too much potential there to give up on at this moment. If he has another injury-filled season or a season of subpar numbers, that's different. (And, as much as I like BJGE, I think he's a good sub and not the every-down pounder.)
Re: Philly Inquirer: Pats may be willing to trade a TE for Feeley
To go off the topic a bit,I have not seen much of him play but is J.T. O'Sullivan a decent QB? - I know that Watson to the Bengals has been a hot topic as well and wonder if O'Sullivan would be considered as part of a trade there as well.. Unless JT is not so good,I dont know much about him

I'd like the Smith trade for the Pats, even with a late rounder thrown in- Feeley is probably worth essentially a 5th and a 7th.
As for the Maroney trade? I'd love it for Philly, and I'd almost like to see it happen just because Maroney would do phenomenally well with them, but it makes absolutely no sense for the Pats.

Re: Philly Inquirer: Pats may be willing to trade a TE for Feeley
I wrote after the Eagles scrimmage that Feeley was the best QB on the field that night. I'm not sure I'd want him as my #1 long term, but he's a huge upgrade over Walter and Hoyer. In fact I'd give them Smith and one of our myriad 7ths to make that happen.
JT OSullivan was also very good, but I think he's the solid #2 in Cinci.
BTW- If we happen to pick up a QB, I'd still want to go with 2 QBs plus Hoyer on the PS
