Rumors: Patriots could make run at Jets' Washington

robertweathers · 03-08-2010, 11:26 AM

I still don't see it happening but if the Pats are interested, I don't see BB having a problem with inserting a "poison pill" into the offer.

How hard is it to be a sports journalist?

Seriously.

These rumors are the start of all debates on this forum, it looks like.

That said; if true, better him than LT.

I am all for this, it would only cost us our lowest of the 3 - 2's and it would save us from having to spend the high #2 on Best as Faulk's replacement assuming Kevin walks.

Leon can bring it, what a great addition to the offense that would be.

maybe when his knee is 100%, but even then, I would rather draft jahvid best

This day and age, I'm against spending higher than a 3rd round pick on any running back, unless he is an absolute phenom. Washington would help our return game, and be a nice younger version of Kevin Faulk, but that's not worth a 2nd rounder IMO.

We have bigger needs on OFFENSE alone (WR, TE, OL), let alone the rest of the team too.

Wouldn't make sense to me.

Don't think he's worth a 2nd especially because we would have to pay him to get him to come here. If we did sign him it would leave the Jets with only 1 rb so that would be nice.

He had a compound fracture, so for him to retain the same speed and explosiveness is a big question. However, he has consistently given us trouble (read: Welker). So I wouldn't mind having him if the price isn't too high.

Makes no sense unless to screw with Fatso.

Washington will be 29 this season. He wanted a contract in the range of 5 Mil per season. Kevin Faulk is back for 1 more season. This is supposed to be the best draft in ages. Why give up picks and why give them to your mosted hated rival?

NE could draft Faulks replacement and get a younger player 4 years on the cheap.
