It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I'd rather keep the picks, but I would be ok with us giving us our own 2nd rounder for Osi. He's going to want an extension though which is not a good thing for a deal being made.
Yeah I guess I'm in the middle on it. If I wake up and he's a Patriot for a 2nd rounder, I'd certainly be very excited. If I wake up and he's playing for someone else, I'm not going to be crushed. We'll see what happens.
From that guys twitter it seems like Ravens are in the lead to get him..but idk
What would he get 10-11 mill a year? Do pats have the $$?
Get it done Bill.
I would probably not do it for a 1st rounder because he is going to be 31 this season and wants top 5 DE money, but I'd definitely do it for a 2nd rounder.
Year after year, Bill holds onto his 2nd rounders. He hits on some guys (Chung, Vollmer, Gronk) and whiffs one some guys pretty badly (Chad Jackson, Butler, Wheatley, Brace).
You can get at least 2 good years out of Osi, probably 3, maybe 4. You give him $8 million a year and he'll be happy. He's only making like $4 million per year now.
This guy is an absolute stud and is exactly what the Pats need, especially in a 4-3. Bill's track record
in the 2nd round has been hit or miss. You've got
enough draft picks to trade a 2nd rounder for an elite player like this.
I hope the Pats get it done. I'd be absolutely elated with the offseason. Aggressive, big-time moves that add elite talent and prepare this team better for postseason success.

No way. If $8 mil a year was all it took, he'd be a Giant tomorrow. He is better than Panthers' Johnson - he already said so publicly - and wants MORE than $12 mil a year.You give him $8 million a year and he'll be happy. He's only making like $4 million per year now. If he got traded to a new team and they gave him a significant raise, I don't think he'd hold out and demand $12 million.
He'll be 30 in November. (sorry responded to wrong post).
This is the most important thing right here. The Pats are usually always competitive during the season. Their playoff play of late has left A LOT to be desired. I think that's really what these signings are about for me.
Osi is the final missing piece of the defensive puzzle, IMHO. Adding him to the mix with AH, Vince, Wright, Cunningham, and even Moore would be tremendous. Could you imagine Osi coming from one side while an improved Cunningham is coming from the other? All the while, Albert and Vince are creating havoc up the middle. I dare Peyton to get the ball out fast enough, especially with the improved secondary.
On a serious note, I think acquiring Osi would make the Pats defense downright scary for teams to face. Their defense would be very reminiscent of the Vikings a few years ago, as they'd have two dominant interior line guys and great pressure coming off the edge. If you all thought last year's turnover differential was great, just wait until the upcoming season if Osi were to come here!

How many $8 mil a year players can a team have with a $120 mil cap? How many do we have now? I don't knwo, jsut asking
