Didn't the Raider fans feel the same way about Moss and the Titans fans about Ayers?
What is it with this places hard on for getting rid of Mayo?
Belichick loves him and he's essentially an extra coach, not to mention a damn fine player.
This trade is great depth and more options.
I can say yes for the Titans fans regarding Ayers. It was good riddance at first, then it was....you have got to be kidding me.

Sopoaga was one that realllly didn't work out in 2013.Lately, this team has had the touch of gold when it's come to mid-season pick-ups. I'm trying to think of the successful acquisitions from PY: Alan Branch, Ayers, Casillas. Any others?
BB has a specific role for the player. It shouldn't surprise us if he performs well.

2013 was still pretty recent. It's before the slew of strong trades in 14 and after the Trade for Talib. Does Tim Wright also count or does he not since it was right before the seasons start?Very true. We were also desperate for DTs, which provides an extenuating circumstance. Specifically because of that trade, I added the word "lately" to the sentence.
Where is Ninkovich going?Seems like he might be a tweener? If so, maybe it might be viewed as a replacement for Ninko? Ayers was also used a lot as a DE.
Hightower is a better edge pass rusher than Collins and Collins is better on the delayed rushI was one of the few banging the table hoping for us to draft one of the smaller athletic linebackers this last draft, so this acts as a makeup call.
Without someone like this, Collins is always going to be used as our coverage linebacker, which isnt ideal when he is also our best pass rushing backer. Casillas was great last year in that role, and hopefully we get something similar from Bostic.
If the Pats were as high on him as has been eluded to, it gives the team a cheap talent this year, while figuring out if its someone they want longer term, without having to do it through free agency.
