Twitter / New England Patriots: The Patriots also place S ...

The Patriots also place S Brandon McGowan on injured reserve. He will miss the 2010 season with a chest injury. #fb

And the trade for Jarrad Page makes sense now..

Thats what I was afraid of

I can't see the team letting Sanders go as well or all of a sudden our safety area becomes problematic

Yup, that was my immediate assumption when I heard about the trade. Sanders sticks, IMO, he was too valuable at the end of last season after he replaced McGowan. And this has pretty much been the book on McGowan for his career so far: very injury-prone.

Doesn't really bother me too much, aside from hoping that he recovers fully and quickly. Not like his skills are irreplaceable.

I agree about Sanders. I've never been one to think that He'd be traded.

I think Breer is spewing rumors about Sanders out of his own expectations

Page looks to be a considerable upgrade over McGowan. The move makes even more sense now and assuming that it was a very low draft pick (maybe a 6th?) seems like a solid transaction.

I'm afraid to refresh the Main Page! What could be next?

Yeah, to put it diplomatically, I don't put much stock in anything that Breer says until someone else confirms it. I started wondering if there might be something to the whole Sanders thing when Rapoport kinda-sorta got on board with it.
