As far as real trades, the team will try. I would think that there may be interest in Watson if we are ready to keep Wendy. Also there might be interest in Smith or Green.
If anyone wants players from the Pats VERY deep roster, they'll have to trade unless they know KC doesn't want them.
I wonder if we'll see some guys get shipped out for late round picks before we get to see them cut?
biggest potential I would think is jarvis green with warren,wilfork,seymour,wright,brace already here, his $$ seems to not be good value.........since he is gone in a year anyway, it would seem that a 6th spot is better off being one out of the group smith,pryor,richard
It all depends on the player I suppose. IIRC, the Pats managed to land a 7th from Pittsburgh for Patrick Cobbs when he was an undrafted rookie. I would imagine that a younger, bubbly player like David Thomas or BJGE could be worth something.

I disagree. The dropoff from Green to whomever would make the roster instead of him is worth more than a low draft pick in my opinion.
Stated differently, I would rather keep Green even if it is for just one more year and increase our shot at a Championship than to pawn him off for a 4th or 5th round draft pick next year that may not even make the team anyway.
It's possible and I've considered it trying to forecast where a likely trade might develop, for example: KC needs OL help pretty badly, the question becomes who does NE have who could help them and can NE spare them? Take Tackle:I happened across an interesting point somewhere: If anyone wants players from the Pats VERY deep roster, they'll have to trade unless they know KC doesn't want them.

-- Vollmer is a developmental project.
-- Bussey is a likley looking four position player, but unproven as a 5th round pick in his rookie season.
I'd be surprised if he didn't make the roster. If he's cut or traded, I'd look first to Kansas City who wouldn't mind another receiver with whom Cassel is comfortable, the Ravens would be bidding against that relationship.What would some of you put the odds on Watson making the team either way traded or cut? One of the only positions the Ravens are thin at is TE and we could use him.
I remember him coming out,freak athlete who looked like he could really be a difference maker. Has the scheme of the offense just limited his production or is it something else?
I know he has battled nagging injuries almost every year and his hands might be a little suspect, but I didn't see the Pats cutting him until I read the cbs sportsline report.
What have been the issues with him?
IMO you might be able to get a 6th for him but not much more. Many teams try to trade players at this point before they cut him but it usually never happens and his production is such that he probably does not have a lot of value.

I can't count that high.True, although, ahem, a fifth-rounder might do it. . . .
I agree. Green would have to be able to be traded for something of serious value, as right now he's a solid player and knows the system well.
