From Twitter:

I'm now hearing it's going to be a wild day at tight end for the Pats. Stay tuned for details.

At least one Pats trade at tight end -- David Thomas goes to New Orleans for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.

Now that's an interesting one.

That is interesting...as he was the one I thought was versatile..and would stay....THAT leaves an open spot for sure for a TE...with Watson, Smith and Baker...NIT a great situation.

I wish they would have gotten rid of smith instead

New York Giants traded tight end Michael Matthews to the Patriots for a conditional 2011 draft pick.

Schefter again.

Hmmm, Thomas was supposed to be the FB, yeah? Who is now, with Hochstein gone too?

Totally 100% agree. I thought for sure Thomas had done enough in camp to stick. Even as the FB option, the toughness... Maybe they're just trading him BEFORE he gets hurt (which, unfortunately, he will).

Wow, then we PICK up a TE all of a sudden ? This offseason has been WILD. Expect the unexpected. We gonna trade Brady for a 2011 pick and go Hoyer solo ? Let's get crazy !

2011 that long time for the comp...

***BradyFTW!*** · 09-05-2009, 05:15 PM

Matthews is a pure blocking TE, yeah? Good, we could use one of those. I'm liking that swap.

Garrett Mills was cut by the Vikings .................. he's H-Back capable.
