It's all about the here and now. You don't trade your best defensive player and pass rusher when Brady and Moss are in their prime. Let's sign a free agent cornerback who is past his prime, on the wrong side of thirty, and does not dress on game day. Let's sign a wide receiver closer to forty than thirty and is cut by midseason. Let's trade draft picks to the Oakland Raiders for a defensive end who can't even rush the quarterback.
The Patriots could have retained Richard Seymour for this season, re-signed wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, and signed 3-4 outside linebacker Greg Ellis in free agency. The Patriots defense misses Richard Seymour more than the coaching staff will admit and I really wonder how many posters on this message board agree with that premise.
