I hope he doesn't let the door hit him in the ass on his way out. By the way, why does it always seem that people are terrified that that the Jets may end up with our trash? Because that's what this guy is - trash. If he ends up being a terrific player for the Jets (which I doubt, but it's possible), so be it. There was nothing else the Patriots could do if no one is willing to trade for him. Have we become that wussified that we tremble at the prospect of someone we no longer want going to the Jets?

Sure, I think they will.... just a matter of if they get anything worthwhile in return.

Anyone have any idea of what his trade value is in term of draft pick(s)? I suppose it depends on the team but would it fair to say a 3rd or 4th?

Let's see...he's barely produced, been mopey and injured.

I would jump on any offer in the third or fourth round range.

I think if the team releases him or trades him, it would just be safe to say that he wasn't a good fit in our scheme. He's more or less built for an attacking scheme like Baltimore or the Jets, and I wouldn't be suprised to see him wind up at either of those locations and have a successful season.

His attitude this year was clearly unprofessional. However, I think he can make good contributions in a different system. Let's just hope we can get something if the decision is to part ways.

3rd or 4th for that guy? Are you kidding? Conditional 6th at the most.

He's a 5M rental for one year and he's hasn't done anything in years.

Most likely he's just cut outright.

Which team is dumb enough to pay him 5 million and give up a first day draft pick.
do not say oakland

last year let see seymour , 3rd and 5th for Burgess and 2011 first lol


burgess did not even get 8 sacks and 51 tackles that seymour gave us a 3-4 end.

The Jets can't sign him if hes cut because of the "final eight" rule correct? I bet they would trade for him though.
