Thank you, My Mother (rest her soul)would be pleased.
The #5 went against our #17 and #28.
It's simple. Understand I want to keep Mankins and Merriweather. But Mankins will have his lip poked out if he is insulted with $10m in 2011. Merriweather will ask for top Safety money in 2012 and we all doubt that worth so perhaps Bill trades him a year early. Fitz will take an out of AZ for a playoff Team. His price will be costly and that is a caveat. Dockett and Wilson had down years so you might can get them now. Kolb wants to start but AZ won't give up a #5 pick in the Draft for him. Wells might eventually get healthy. The Cards need pieces. The Eagles just smile and collect the best things they can get for Kolb and Jackson. Jackson is starting to be a distraction and has pissed Reid off and it has been offered up on a Philly site about a trade that gets Philly their needed Guard in Mankins in a trade revolving Jackson. I can't take credit ...or blame... for that one.
If you have time to read it through great. If not thanks anyway. Just trying to use logic. The Ware deal was more fun (possible? who knows) but this could be very real.

I don't want to get rid of Merriweather or Mankins. Merriweather will be asking a ton next year and now is the best time to get value. They say a year early is always better.
Everybody values Sanders in this forum and I don't. I watch what he does. I have very good reason and it blows me away why posters on this forum cover for him. But everyone of this site has their own personal favorites or JAGS and I respect that.
I will try to stress this again. We were 30th in pass yards against and most of those came up the middle. Pass rush is important, but not the cure-all. Smarter posters than I see Sanders as Ronnie Lott. He had a good year personally in 2010, but that did not translate to the Team. I do not believe I am wrong when I say he is replaceable.
I enjoy doing these exercises but I have to be fair to each team. I even made up a trade value chart for player trades. But to try to please everyone is an enormous undertaking. So If I feel I see an upgrade over Sanders, I am certainly not emotionally tied to him as some are. Again some people feel he is special. I don't know if we could get a 5th rounder for him at best. Then I hear, "Well he is a BB favorite!" I have heard that from BB and the guy is gone the next day. TBC and Kaczur represent CAP dollars. Yet both could be CAP casualties here. Adding them to a deal if the said Team accepts, helps out the Pats. It's entertainment and I surely don't expect every aspect to be perfect, just the main story line to have at the least some reality. If posters say "no", I can't control that.
I appreciate you comments. You really have to dig into every part to see where I was going with this.

TBC and Kaczur account for about 8.5 million against the cap next year.. That's not alot. That being said, I agree they could both be cap casualties. But if we know that, so do other teams. They aren't going to trade for those players when they know they could get them for free.
Many Teams have inquired about young D Lineman Myron Pryor on the Pats.
When I saw this thread title from you I said to myself "I bet the first trade he puts up has James Sanders in it". And, true to form, it did.
Seriously, when are you going to admit you are wrong about Sanders? It's not a hard thing to do. Just say, "Patsfans.com, I am wrong about James Sanders. He's an above average safety and a leader on the field. That's why Belichick likes him." Then move on.
Every year, you break out the same broken record about Sanders and every year numerous posters tell you that you don't know what you are talking about.
Don't listen to the Haters, Brother Toy!! Rock ON with your bad self!! :rocker:
DO keep listening to those who offer objective criticism, though.
Me, I have NO taste for the moves you propose...but I LOVE the wild imagination that you put into them!!
Question: Can you LINK a source for this?? >
I like Pryor, very much, but he probably doesn't make the Pats in my Mock, so I would love to get something for him.
I appreciate your feedback. It's all preference. I like Pryor but when you do these things you have to give to get. I am searching for the link. It happened in training camp after Pryor got here in 2009 and showed that he would make the Team. I can't find the link now but it was that the Pats turned down requests from Teams or a Team for his services. I will keep trying. It was 2009 though for sure.
P.S. Found it. Roto World-
