Default Who has been the biggest bust offseason FA/trade player

Who do you think has been the biggest bust for the Patriots in either trade or FA pick up in the Belichick Era , hands down would have to be Adalius Thomas...

Joey Galloway has to be a consideration.

For the $$ he is getting... It's Thomas and it's not even close at all. He is terrible.

Not sure he is terrible, but is certainly not very good value for the money...

Because he has completely disappeared since his TD catch against the Falcons some 11 weeks ago?

For this year, I would have to put my money on Burgess, even though Galloway contributed less. They needed Burgess as part of this team more, as a veteran leader and pass rush presence, and so far he has been a complete bust. Galloway would have been nice to have and would have and would have taken pressure off Moss, Welker, and "the rest," but this passing offense can still operate without them. This passing defense needed Burgess to deliver. The thing is, I remember being at Gillette the night of the in-stadium STH practice in August. As I was going in, I got a tweet about the Pats trading for a "veteran defensive player," which then turned into "The Pats have acquired Derrick Burgess." How excited we were!

Overall though, Thomas takes the cake. He was supposed to come in here and be the next in line behind Vrabel, McGinest, Bruschi, etc. and has seen his production drop off from Year 1 to Year 2 and now to Year 3, where he has been virtually invisible before and especially after his benching. To make matters worse, he seems to be turning into a bit of a locker room malcontent. He'll be one of the first to go come February. Hopefully the Pats can get something for him, and hopefully they'll be able to absorb the cap impact.

Hopefully Burgess will be the second to go in February. Then Springs.
