All speculation here, but hear me out.

We have great depth in the running back position as well as at tight end. Keeping an extra RB or TE would not make sense especially since we need a backup QB. So I think rather than sending a TE and a pick to Philly for AJ Feeley, we are going to send a TE and RB and get Feeley and a pick in return.

We'll find out soon enough. Thoughts?

Assuming we sent Smith for this deal, why do you say we should include a pick?

I didn't. I implied that we would get Feeley and a pick.

I don't think a RB goes...just Smith...

I think they carry two QBs plus Edelman.

At the end of the first quarter last night, I'd have said yes. After the rest of the game, I think their interest in Feeley has probably waned a bit.

They might still shop a TE or two around. Not a back, though. Taylor is old, Morris is not young and has injury history, Faulk is a change-of-pace pass-catcher, Maroney is the lead back and still yet to prove himself, and BJGE wouldn't garner much. I think they probably keep all five of them.

The more I think about it, the more I think he's going with just Brady and Hoyer, adding someone's waiver-wire cut to the PS as the emergency QB, knowing all the while he's got Edelman around as well, and MAYBE after a week or two adding a vet off his living room couch like a Huard (who would then not have a guaranteed salary).

Of course, Belichick will probably trade for Tarvaris Jackson tomorrow. Just to show us that, even after almost a decade, we have no idea what he's thinking.

If we are going to trade a RB, how about the Bears?

Chicago Bears RB Kevin Jones is out for the tear with a torn ligament in his left ankle. Chicago now has a depth issue after starting RB Matt Forte; Garrett Wolfe and (the other) Adrian Peterson are Forte's backups.

Is there any chance that the Pats could trade one of their running backs to Chicago rather than just cut him? Or do you think the Bears will just wait for roster cuts and try to sign whomever becomes available then?

I'm just thinking it would nice to get something, anything, for a player that is just going to be cut. And if the Pats decide to trade for Feeley (or another QB), having an extra draft pick available would be helpful.

i doubt BB is going to trade for a backup QB without knowing if the person is going to fit his system or not. its one think to trade for LB's and another for a backup QB who has played in multiple systems. AJ feely has been a good backup in PHL and MIA. doesnt mean he can pick up and work in the pats system.

I think if we can improve over Feely by adding Maroney to the trade we do it ... like yesterday IMO.

Why should we hear you out??? There have been about 20 some on threads on the same topic.

1) Philly doesn't need another RB. They need a TE.
2) Why should the Pats TRADE for Feeley when they can sign him as a free agent after he's cut
3) Feeley isn't going to be cut or traded, more than likely, before Vick is eligible to return.
