i'm only saying this trade makes sense because of the loss of brady
while most of us believe, and rightfully so, that free agency winners are often losers, the same can't be said of trade deadline deals
those often have a really good effect on a team
off the top of my head i can think back to my team getting mccardell and chambers, as two instances where trade deadline deals really helped, and the colts getting macfarland in 06 helped them go to, and win the sb, despite them still technically having one of the worst rush defenses of all time that season.
That has been running on ESPN and ABC all day. I haven't been watching TV all day but off and on to check the college games.
Yes he would be an interesting an interesting addition to the Patriots this year but the devil is always in the details. What would they want? What would he be willing to take for us to stay under the cap?
I don't think it will work for us. I wouldn't mind giving a 3rd rounder or even a second rounder. But his salary demand may be too much for someone who has a couple of year left.
His salaries are as follows:
2008 1000000.00 (his new team would pay 11/17ths of that)
2009 4000000.00
2010 4500000.00
2011 5750000.00
looks pretty damn good, especially if he's going to only retire after 09His salaries are as follows:
2008 1000000.00 (his new team would pay 11/17ths of that)
2009 4000000.00
2010 4500000.00
2011 5750000.00
nfl players contracts aren't guaranteed so cutting him after 09 is very possibleUh, no way. Unless he goes the Moss route and takes a cut.
Thanks for the info Miguel!
i can't imagine anyone not wanting to play for your head coach, with all the success he's hadAre we over estimating the Pats chances this season? Is Tony interested in playing under BB and becoming a Patriot in the fullest sense of the word? I'd love to see it personally.
LoMo for Gonzo in '08?
I can't either, I just don't know what type of player TG is. Is he more of a free spirit type guy that might not like BB's way of doing things?i can't imagine anyone not wanting to play for your head coach, with all the success he's had

i think tony's a very quality individual and a total team player, and someone your coach would love to work with.I can't either, I just don't know what type of player TG is. Is he more of a free spirit type guy that might not like BB's way of doing things?
If he's got 3 good years left in him, it would be great timing with 3 more years of Moss, and 3 prime years of Brady.
What do you guys think of LoMo for Gonzo? Would that be enough?

Well, to answer part of another query: Gonzo has played for BB in the ProBowl - BB gave him a raging case of hemorrhoids over a half ***ed block attempt on Special Teams. It ticked Gonzo off so much that he went out and decked someone on the next Kick Return and was surprised when he walked by BB going back to the bench and heard 'nice block.' As I recall Gonzo was 'impressed.' I can see him being willing to come to NE and play for a shot at a ring.i can't imagine anyone not wanting to play for your head coach, with all the success he's had

No need to be sarcastic. You know well enough how Belichick uses TEs. Watson and Thomas are servicable receiving TEs and thay have hardly gotten sniffs this season. With the shape of the O-line they need a TE willing to block for the majority of the time he'll be on the field. I doubt this will be attractive to Gonzo.
Bingo, we have bingo, The Pats never use their TE's as a weapon. It's a shame really, Watson and Thomas would probably be stars on other teams, Watson has speed, Thomas has good hands and is a fine route runner both average 1 catch per game. A shame.
