Rutgers: Gotta Catch Em All

Umm...well, everybody was screaming for a TE, eh?

Man, that's a downer.

Wow, can't say I'm excited about this. I guess I'll just have to say "In Bill We Trust" and see how this develops.

Well, that's some cap relief.

Tim Wright is hardly a TE though at a slimmer build than even LaFell, 6'4" 220.

Another WTF vet trade by BB.

I've been saying for the last two years he is one of the most overrated players in the NFL.

Wait - is this confirmed? Doesn't sound right at all.

Well there's your Ahern replacement. Trying to get the Scarlet Knights back together. Cue Miguel for cap implications...

Everybody aboard the Brandon Scherff bandwagon. That better be a good pick coming back.

I was worried about the Oline before the trade . Loss of a good team player and leader ....Didnt see this coming.

For Tim Wright and a Draft pick.. I'll be honest, I don't believe that Kline out-played Mankins at all and I don't like this trade..

It also severely cuts into the Pats depth at LT.

That better be a 2nd round pick they got.

Everyone's 53 roster projection wrecked?

repeat after me, "one year early is better than..."

Despite the blatant obsession with getting every Rutgers player imaginable, I like Tim Wright a lot as a move tight end. He can't block to save his life, though, which is about what you'd expect from a converted wide receiver. Apparently he was struggling in camp, though.

Jay Glazer is reliable for breaking news.

Good lord. Not happy about this AT ALL.

Was waiting on a Mankins trade for a couple of years now, surprised it came this late but the cap space saved....McCourty & Revis getting longer stays in Foxboro?

All the talk about Wendell and Connolly and Mankins is the first out of the door. Well played BB, well played.

BB is going to trade for Boone.

Upgrade from Mankins and gain a TE2 with upside, just wait.
