He must be off defending his 'honor' on the number of other threads he's currently fighting on.

Man did this thread go off topic!

I don't know why everyone's so quick to discount a trade.

Last year BB very much wanted Derrick Mason, recognizing that his WR corps could use an infusion of talent.

The only thing that's changed from this year to last is that Branch is a year closer to the end of his contract, and our #2 receiver is a FA.

Aside from Givens there's not a lot in FA, and the draft looks weak. If we want a WR a trade might be the way to go - and we've already got plenty of 3,4,5,6 WRs - we need a #2 or #1B

So now we are into this.

BB does make trades. Think Ted Washington, Starks #3 (ugh!) and Andre Davis #5 IIRC. The only one I'd call a BIG trade (this topic) was Ted W, and that was for a measly 3rd pick. BB will wait until hysteria settles down or some team becomes hysterical enough to do something stupid. But a trade for a big name FA ain't gonna happen.

Joe, at least for me, its not a trade that I discount, its a MAJOR trade. What teams (aside from Philly, of course) are looking to deal a #1, #1B or a #2 receiver? And who are these players, specifically? And what would the Patriots give up? If someone could answer these questions in a logical way, and present a reasonable scenario, I doubt anyone would be discounting anything.

My dad's been dead since 1994. I don't think this is going to be a fair fight.

LMAO!!!!

Roller, please READ Management Secrets of the NEP, then get back to us with something insightful!

I would think after 3 Super Bowls "true" fans such as yourself would have some clue that BB and SP know what they are doing. The two of them don't toss this team together like a cassarole at the last minute and cross their fingers that things work out! Just because the Patriots don't hold a press confrence when they have free agents in for an interview does not mean they are all sitting on their hands!

Redeemer's on the ropes again. LOL!

Usual trade time is at the draft.

And they are usually small, for a draft pick to fill a specific need.

For blockbuster trades watch baseball or one of those basketball extravaganzas where you have to throw in half the team to make the salaries match.

If you want excitement this time of year, follow Washington or Arizona.

Of course that's where the excitement ends. (although the Skins snuck into the playoffs this year, I think they're headed for a scandal-penalty)
