Anyone else kinda want the pick?

Count me in for having the pick..................Wright's a backup and will always be one, a classic role player.

I'd take the pick if we could turn one into a linebacker. But we can't, so no.

Can't imagine anyone giving up a 2nd for Wright. Would love for it to happen though.

I'm sure the Patriots would love the pick but Wright was undrafted so the next lower tender would be the "no compensation" level.

good see that he is likely coming back

I heard from another forum there was a 3rd rd tender which seems more likely. I dont know how I feel about this....think about this scenario....
Dorsey drops to us, we HAVE to take him. They talked with Wilfork this week and he was unwilling to extend because of the possibility of uncapped years coming(BIG $$). We get Dorsey,trade Vince, now we NEED a guy there who knows the system..... Red Bryant was the guy I look to at nose if we lose Wright and keep Vince, but there are alot of variables to think about. We dont want to be leveraged against the cap having to spend with the teams like Washington and Dallas that will have unlimited budgets.

people are dreaming if we trade Vince. If anything vince will be franchised if a deal can't be made.

how quick we are to jettison players.

We would be one of the teams out spending everyone else too

Agreed. Vince is the most important player on the Pats' D, imo. No way they let him leave.
