"I have been all over how badly the Patriots defense has been playing all season."
This goes to show how meaningless a lot of stats, including opponents PPG, when you take away the context. Pats are allowing fewer points, but part of that is because opponents need to go to shootout mode to keep pace with Brady; that plays into the hands of this defense and its very good secondary. Sounds like Bill (and Lombardi) think this defense has been a paper tiger that would get steamrolled against a physical team in the playoffs.
Yeah, that fits into the "Unseen elements" that surely had a great impact on this move. I don't know man. If we are thinking short term, I rather have a effort-less Collins than a low 3rd round/ high 4th round pick.
Plus, if we let him walk, we would still get a compensatory 3rd round pick.
We are getting NOTHING, holy ****

Don't be oblivious for the sake of the argument. He would net us a high compensatory pick. He will get a 10M+ contract from somewhere, that is the biggest qualifier for the compensatory picks.Not would. Could. In 2018.

Which fits with the traditional way of things here. Every year, this has been our way of doing things.The biggest qualifier is that you lose more qualifying free agents than you sign.
He's been a problem, not listening to coaches, all the talent in the world is useless if he's doing his own thing out there instead of what he's coached to do.so the solution is trading arguably the best defensive player??? if lombardi thinks the defense is weak with collins, it's clearly worse without jamie! what if something happens to hightower?? we're screwed.
i dont understand this move at all. sure, trust BB but this move makes 0 sense.

Alright, if you don't have anything to post, other than insults, i don't need to talk to you. I come here expecting more of the arguments. If i wanted brain-washed insults, i'd rather go somewhere else.You don't understand how compensatory picks work.
Clearly Bill doesn't see Collins as their 'best defensive player'.so the solution is trading arguably the best defensive player??? if lombardi thinks the defense is weak with collins, it's clearly worse without jamie! what if something happens to hightower?? we're screwed.
