I'm a little surprised Thomas was traded instead of Watson.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

Watson barely played in the preseason so he wasn't "showcased" to any teams whereas Thomas has and played well.

Plus if Watson has a somewhat decent year a team could take a flier on him as a FA and if it's a big enough contract the Pats get a comp pick the next year barring them signing any big FA's.

that's my take at least on why the shipped out Thomas vs Watson who I wold of rather seen go myself as well.

Didn't see that coming - I was expecting both Thomas and Watson on the team.

I've got no idea how good Mitchell is - but as far as Thomas, while he looked a lot better at times the coaches know much more than we do, and see much more (a la Matt Cassel) so none of us are going to question the move.

Heres a clue He cant catch or block and hes turn over and injury prone, and had the nerve to hold out his rookie year, besides that hes super

That's just stupid, he's not got great hands but he has decent hands and great athleticism for the position. The ONLY reason they may have moved on is that this is the last year of his contract; aside from that he clearly should be on the team and playing a decent amount.

i was expecting good things with thomas..one yr he is stuck on the teamwith no WR's next he get injured and now traded.
never quite can understand what BB thinks. he overhauls his drafted players in 2-3 yrs a lot...
