Do you have the details of the contract that Sopoaga signed with the Eagles? It could be that he did not get a signing bonus.So, then OvertheCap has it wrong on Sopoaga???

Mallet + Amendola + 4th rd pick
for
Andre Johnson + 5th rd pick
I know its not a fair trade but its better than nothing for both teams.
That's right. Sopoaga had guaranteed money, but no signing bonus.. Thanks for the correction.Do you have the details of the contract that Sopoaga signed with the Eagles? It could be that he did not get a signing bonus.
they also think Andre Johnson would give them a better shot at the Super Bowl than NEP and that they would be the favorite for the Division.You cant be serious?
I would offer Mallet + Amendola + 2nd rounder for Andre Johnson + 4th. Dunno if Texans would bite, but I'd be doing cartwheels if they did!

We'd probably get more if we offered Amendola and the 2nd rounder instead of Mallet, Amendola and the 2nd rounder....I would offer Mallet + Amendola + 2nd rounder for Andre Johnson + 4th. Dunno if Texans would bite, but I'd be doing cartwheels if they did!
Amendola could be a part of it, yes. The problem with that is the entirety of Amendola's dead money would hit this year's cap for the Patriots. That would be an additional $2.645 Million on the cap. Yes, they could still fit Johnson's contract under the cap as well by simply guaranteeing $9M of his 10M salary and treating it as a signing bonus by spreading it out over the 3 years left on the contract.
As for next year, the Pats are currently sitting at $142M against the cap that is projected to be $150+M. But that INCLUDES Revis' contract number of $25M which was ALL know is going to change. So, I will be flat out honest. The Pats already have the money for Revis/McCourty put aside for new contracts. It's just a matter of when they get the details taken care off.
Reportedly Johnson hungry for a Superbowl has publically reported his dismay and is planning to skip otas and all team activities.
Mallett for Johnson really this makes to much sense not to happen doesn't it?
Yeah, Amendola is the only one of the WRs that can save them any useful amount of cap room by being traded. A trade after June 1 would save the Pats $3.375M in 2014 (leaving $3.6M dead money in 2015), which would help out a lot when dealing with Johnson's incoming $11M. Trading Amendola and cutting Connolly would be enough to fit Johnson's cap hit without pushing any into future years. Anything less, and they'd have to start restructuring guys or getting straight pay cuts.Or is it just a money matching theory making Amendola the educated guess?

I wouldn't do that deal. Dobson flashed talent last year before his injury, trading him away for a 33 year old (albeit one who's had a great career) is madness and not how you go about building a roster to have long term success.Kirwan suggests Dobson + a 3 for Johnson.
