Rumor: Bethel for William Green - New England Patriots Forums

***R_T26*** · 03-14-2006, 05:05 PM

Was listening to EEI and a caller called up and said Chris Collins reported that Bill is talking to Romeo about a Bethel for William Green trade. Minor deal, dont know how legit it is. but thought I'd share it.

He has more productive than Bethel, has some value as a backup. If it's true then I believe Belichick feels Bethel has reached his peak as far as the Patriots are concerned.

Why do i get the feeling Belichick needs a RB to complete another deal and they are trying to equal out the numbers like the NBA does?

SURE why not? lets trade one of our TWO wide recievers for a running back,

I"ve been wondering about Green for a few years. If his head's on straight, he does have ability. And he's somewhat stuck in his current situation in Cleveland. That said, I'm probably one of the few not quite ready to give up on BJ.

That would leave us with one receiver.

Bethel's time has come and gone. I'd rather take my chances with a rook.

Sweet, BB and I must be on the same wavelengths. Everyone get ready for the devastating 1 WR, 3-TE, 1RB set next year!

If this happens it would be interesting to see if this former Boston College player can regain that old magic.

And when we win the Superbowl next year, half the league will start using that offense. BB...always a step ahead of the pack

Very very good move. Green is loaded with talent, I think he just needs a fresh start. Get this one done.
