Was listening to NBC sports radio while driving to work and an interesting prospect came up:
Marshawn Lynch to the Patriots.
Pros:
-Instant upgrade to the offense
-The 1st and 2nd down type of RB we've needed since...Dillion??
-Absolutely willing to play in a system and is quiet (Very Patriot-esque qualities)
- Has decent hands and can pick up blocks on third down play action/pass situations, thereby adding to our strategy and mindgame capabilities
-Can break a tackle. Lol
Cons
-Does he still want to play?
-Can we afford him/would he be willing to take less?
-If we don't fix our OL issues, it won't even matter
I honestly don't see the harm in the Patriots talking to him to guage interest. We could offload Bolden and Blount and have Lynch take over their duties.
Imagine this Pats offense with Lewis and Lynch. We'd be the most entertaining offense in the league and damned near unstoppable (assuming we somehow fix our OL problems).
What say you?
