Patriots Trade Hooman to the Saints for Akiem Hicks

Sounds like the type of guy who will excel here.

I don't even know how the **** they pulled this off.

It's like trading a 'One free small fries' ticket to someone for a raffle ticket for a new sports car. Sure it might not work out but are we really going to miss Huh-oh?

I'll miss the big fella. He will live on forever here for being a part of the play that finally sent Harbaby off to the loony bin.

4 on the current roster, 1 on practice squad, only 2 cut from roster.

@srevolution: Akiem Hicks came into the year looking like a star in the making. Another failed early-round draft pick for NO. https://t.co/yHMfkPaN8j

Strange that the trade announcement on twitter and the accident were so close in time. Is this a case for Ted Wells ?

Since everyone is OK according to him I feel comfortable joking that the guy who hit him was reading about this trade

Saints fans reactions:

"We got fleeced"
"Incredible, how do the Patriots do it?"
"So starting DE for a third string TE...hope there is more to this trade"

Hope he's alright, Ben Watson is a good guy.

Ben is a true professional. Always liked him when he was here.

A multiple front 7 just got more multiple.

Looking at his size he should be good for: 4-3 DT, 4-3 under DE, 3-4 DE and possibly NT (but might be too tall for that)

Others think VERY lowly of Hicks, interested to hear more from knowledgeable people instead of accepting fan opinions, lots of fans tend to have irrational hatred towards players without knowing specific assignments.

81 overall starter in Madden 16.

FLEECED!


@BnGreview: Akiem Hicks got traded from a team where the other non-Cam DL are the rusted hulk of Kevin Williams, John Jenkins, and 4 undrafted rookies.

Seems like a tank move on the Saints end.

Merged the two trade threads and edited subject.

The Pats front 7 just getting stronger. And it was already pretty strong..

Think run-stopping.

Also he is coming from a 3-4 and going into a 4-3, so I think this will result in him having a sizable impact when he converts to DT from DE.

Look for us to line Chandler Jones off him, so this forces an one-on-one matchup that Hicks will win more often than not, because Jones cannot be ignored coming off the edge.

How many Hooman threads are there?

Less than a billion.

Never understood the Hooman hate. He's clearly a blocker and he caught a few passes on 3rd downs. Good luck in New Orleans.

He's a mediocre blocker and a mediocre receiver.

Wonder if Flowers is going to IR?

Also what does this sat about Chandler Jones future when his contract is up at the end of the season.

Jones is under contract for 2016 under the first-round tender, same as Hightower.

We're getting Brees, then packaging Brees and Brady for Aaron Rodgers's jockstrap.

Brees restructured his contract.
