What about 22?

How about a 2nd rounder for Asante Samuel? Maybe throw in Merriweather.

Our secondary which looked promising is a little out of whack.

Why would the Pats trade for him when it looks like they are planning on playing a lot of press?

 

[blackglass3]

Yeah, let's trade Meriweather.


Practice Squad move in 3, 2, ...

 

[MoLewisrocks]

I can think of about $9M reasons this year alone... Not to mention Asante was never happy here and this is likely the last place he'd choose to play out the backloaded backend of that deal the Eagles gave him... Asante played his best ball here when Rodney was the brains directing the secondary. We need a better/headier FS, not a ballhawking corner who gambles.

Both Samuel and McCourty are LCBs. There really is no place for him on the team.

Now if the Pats want to trade for a FS, then I might be on board.

Yah - trade a safety for a corner.

Good work.

***ante is a great zone cover corner.However he still guesses alot. He was perfect for the old 3-4 "bend but don't break" defense...

However, this is the new "try and block these two giants" 4-3 defense. Which is going to put more pressure in the backfield, and play alot more man to man, not exatly ***ante's strong suit....

If he didn't suck at takcling, he would have been a decent fit for that defense.

 

[Sivy]

No, because he dropped that INT in the superbowl

 

[Sciz]

I'd be willing to trade a 7th for him just so Haynesworth can punch his face in :lol2:

Maybe Rodney will consider coming out of retirement. A thirty-nine year old, rusty Harrison is probably better than the brainless 27 year old Merriweather. Then again...probably not.

Since the Pats also need a guard,why not trade Vince Wilfork to the Vikings for Steve Hutchinson?

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

Samuel exemplifies all the reasons why people want to get rid of Meriweather except he's much more expensive and won't even attempt to make a tackle.

Why would you want a player like that?

 

[Sicilian]

I don't know who all you "trade Meriweather" drum beaters are thinking is going to play safety this year. Call me crazy, I'm not comfortable with Sergio Brown and Josh Barrett manning the spots with Ventrone backing them both up if Chung gets dinged up and has to miss a few games.

Seriously, I want to know, who's playing safety if not Meriweather?

 

[sbpatfan]

Let's trade our best safety and a second for a 30 year old-lazy CB. Good trade bro!
