I totally understood and agreed with the trade of Seymour. Thought the same about Branch. In hindsight, I'm now against both trades. The money is tehre for these guys. Granted, I would not be in favor of Raider money to Seymour, but Wilfork +? I think he would have signed.
I also think they would have gotten Solder regardless, but it may have cost them a Dowling + Vereen.
Looking back, 3 or 4 years of Branch >>> 3 or 4 years of Meriweather.
3 years of Seymour >>> Dowling (maybe not, this remains to be seen). I focus on Dowling instead of Solder because the Patriots traded away future picks.
I also think we would have won at least 1 or 2 more SB by now if we kept Branch and Seymour around. Instead of letting them go.
