Re: Massarotti says Belichick has gambled on the 2009 season and his future legacy

The only way that the Seymour trade could help the 2009 is if the money is used to sign someone.
My preference would be to lock down a player for 2010, perhaps Gostkowski.
But I don't think that we can spin this as a help to the 2009 team.

It's all part of the revisionism that takes place when a player leaves. By Tuesday, Seymour will have been a locker room cancer who threatened to kick Belichick's ass and who never was any good on the field.
People can't just accept that BB made a move that might not have been the greatest in NFL history.
