Dont believe PFT and florio for a second. these are the same guys who speculated that moss is dogging it so he can get traded to the vikings !!
my take. nothing will happen. just the PUP guys or some unheard guy like the guy we signed from the bengals a couple of yrs back-safety will be signed.

Deltha O'Neil? haaaaaaaail no! Let's not ever go down a similar path to that brilliant strike.
 
Re: Signs of the Trade-pocalypse: Official thread for speculation on WTF is going dow

Yes, almost certainly we're doing a trade here.

The question is... who are we getting?
 
Re: Signs of the Trade-pocalypse: Official thread for speculation on WTF is going dow

My thinking is that they will trade for someone with a cap hit they can't absorb unless they dump some guys. They then restructure the traded players contract, reducing his cap hit, and THEN re-sign these guys. Make sense?

far, far more than mine does haha, i was just trying to figure out some way to include AD in the trade - just a thought of him being a healthy scratch right before the trade deadline - your idea is more more sensible

I think he meant artrell hawkins

I'm going to go out on a limb... I find it hard to believe that BB would reach for Merriman or Peppers, particularly mid-season.

I think we trade for Deion Branch, with a restructured contract.

Looking around the net, EVERYBODY is trying to sort out what the heck BB & co. are up to. Fans of every weak team with a notable WR, RB or pass rusher are convinced that the Pats are clearing room for their guy. And of course, Florio is busing tossing out every possible scenario so that he can say afterward that he called it. Pretty amusing all around.

Personally, I think the veteran cuts are just BB's way of telling the team that Sunday's game, with yet another scoreless 4th quarter, isn't going to cut it.

You make the most sense. Steven Jackson would be nice, too.

latest rumor per weei is sending Aiken and a ham sandwich for Adrian Peterson.

Whats on the ham sandwich? No way we should have to give up anything more than american cheese & yellow mustard. As soon as they start talking provolone or swiss with the deli mustard, I'm out.
 
Re: Signs of the Trade-pocalypse: Official thread for speculation on WTF is going dow

I think both those options are most likely - whatever we do, it has to be either for someone who already pretty much knows our playbook, or is at a position where the playbook doesnt really matter too much - Branch or an RB would fit that
 
Deion Branch? TO?

Bring Branch back? TO?

We need to find 2 new players to fill Galloway and Mathews spots.
 
Re: Could we get really crazy and trade for TO?

No secret we could use a good 3rd WR... and it wouldn't surprise me given BB's history of taking on disgruntled players. Given the Patriot's discipline, he wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell of causing problems here...


No.

Dillon and Moss in nine years doesn't constitute a history. He's jettisoned more troubled players than he's taken on. And he didn't just bring Junior back here for no reason. This isn't the same veteran leadership deep team that could absorb a Dillon or Moss.

Is it against the rules to be below 53 for any time during the year?
 
Re: Deion Branch

Bring Branch back

What was your point in starting a whole new thread? There is already a thread on this topic?

And No thank you to Branch. And yes, I'd boo his sorry arse every time he touched the ball. He's a scumbag of a person.
 
Re: Deion Branch

That, and Dillon and Moss were both productive players with a couple years left.


Branch isn't. Branch can't stay healthy, isn't productive anymore, and has been pushed down the depth chart. Whatever he was in NE, hes not a good WR anymore.
 
Re: Signs of the Trade-pocalypse: Official thread for speculation on WTF is going dow

TBC re-signed per Schefter.

He edited it since his first thought and this threads original premise was trading for TO...
