2. Trade a 4th for DeSean.
3. Restructure his deal to lower the cap hit.
4. Restructure a few other guys to add Jared Allen.
Draft TE, OL, DL in the draft.
Offense: Brady, Ridley/Vereen, Gronk, Edelman, Dobson, Jackson. Holy crap.
Defense: Allen, Armstead, Ninkovich, Jones, Collins, Mayo, Browner, Revis, McCourty, Dennard
Good lord that would be unbelievable.
Apparently, they want to trade him in his prime for some reason.
He does other things, too, like run the width of the end zone to troll a defense he just smoked down the side line before finally bringing the ball into the paint for the TD. He's been penalized for tossing the ball to the opposing head coach after a great play. He definitely has attitude issues.
If, and it's a big if that I'm doubtful of, but if Belichick could land him, I think he would shut that down immediately. He'd get benched a game for doing it here
I'm sure Kelly would love to have him, just not at the long term $10MM/yr that his contract says the Eagles have to pay him.Well, I don't see any Super Bowl trophies in Philadelphia and he was benched under Reid, now Kelly wants to get rid of him. 175 lbs.
Currently the Pats have about $5MM in cap room and 4 of that is needed to sign our draft picks What you are suggesting would cost about $17MM in 2014 cap space. Do the numbers. Nice fantasy, but isn't even CLOSE to being doable in the real world. But if you think so, take my bet.1. Cut Wilfork. Free up, what, $7 million?

Probably more about his contract demands. It's a business, these front office types aren't nearly as petty as fans.
When those incidents actually happened he was involved in zero solid trade talks.
He talks about his deal, and now there's traction. Seems simple enough.
Despite all the noise around here, I would bet the biggest issue would be his cap hit going forward like some have pointed out.
His numbers were phenomenal last season and would upgrade the position immensely.
Well, if he isn't worth his contract after his one phenomenal season, when will he be?
Yeah, but he got his massive contract on good faith from the Eagles after a couple of sub-par/injury years.
The only way I could see this happening would be if the Pats could makes Amendola a part of the trade. I like DA a lot, obviously, but there's a lot less skill-set redundancy on the Pats with a Jackson.
AND/or DJax being willing to play on a new contract. Given his public attitude, I don't see it. Philly's trying to move him because he wants MORE money, invoking bad blood (see the first sentence in my post). They showed faith in him, he's not returning the favor.
Anything is possible (Revis), but unless DJax is a different guy than he's showing, I don't think the risk and disruption is worth the cost.
I'm glad that the Patriots are looking at all sorts of ways, including trades, to improve the team. I hope that, after they pass on DeSean Jackson, they continue to do so.

I might have guessed otherwise. Care to elaborate?

Would you prefer the team stop looking for ways to improve the roster and go into the season as-is?
