Jerry "Glory Hole" Jones?I can't believe Bill couldn't fleece Jerry Jones for a better draft choice.
On a scale of 1 to 100, the value of return is a 1. The Pats could not have received a lower return. What were the other team's offering....UPS fare to ship out Mallett's gear after his release?
Officially a bust of a third round pick. At least they got more for this 3rd rounder than Kevin O'Connell.
Realistically, what could they have gotten as a comp pick, if they held onto him and let him walk in FA?

No. Players who get cut are not part of the formula.
The Patriots being able to obtain a 6th-rounder for basically a third string QB on the final year of his contract is a fantastic trade.
No kidding.WOW, he went from the 6th overall pick in 2013, to a 6th round pick. Oh have the mighty fallen.
O'Connell is said to be a highly respected coach.People are saying there was some mutual grab-ass between HOU and NEP on this one and that's true. BB got to keep Mallett around to keep the heat on Jimmy Football and only got rid of Mallett when he had gained enough confidence to do so. He also made sure the Texans weren't able to get Mallett in place early enough to fit him into their system so they almost certainly will have to play Fitzpatrick a few games which are guaranteed losses, IMHO.
I know Mallett is some people's binky, but get over it. He ain't the next Tom Brady. He'll be lucky to be the next Matt Cassel. Chances are that he's the next Kevin O'Connell.
Man a lot of people co-signed that thread. I found it hard to believe that so many though mallet was worth the sixth overall pick with close to (0) on the field performance to go on. How many hundreds of posts did it generate?But .... but .... but .... Ryan Mallett was suppose to be traded to the Cleveland Browns for a first round pick in 2013.
Any criticism of Belichick should not come from anything that happened today. The criticism should be the decision to spend a 3rd round pick on the guy they did.
Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying Belichick is a bad drafter. Like every single GM in the league, he has plenty of hits and misses. Mallett was one of the misses.
Oh, it ain't like that. Just keeping a fellow poster informed. That's another reason everyone was so giddy about his signing. We got him AND we didn't have to sacrifice the comp pick. Brilliant move by BB.Thanks for the clarification on Revis everyone....
I'll now go sit in the corner with my dunce cap on
