"Official" trade deadline countdown thread

[PatriotReign]

Why are the eagles trying to move him? Isn't he supposed to be the nose tackle in their 3-4?

Didn't take long for his wikipedia page to change. It now lists the Patriots as his current team.

Isaac Sopoaga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Done.
Mike Reiss ?@MikeReiss 23s
Eagles report that they have traded DT Isaac Sopoaga and 6th-round pick to the Patriots for a 5th-round pick.

 

[strngplyr]

Sopoaga + 6th for our 5th.

I like it. Loyko made the point that the picks are likely only going to be ~15 spots apart. Maybe less.

I think we'll all take it. Can't hurt.

Typical Belichick signing. Low risk. Low cost. Older vet who isn't really a "name" at the moment.

I don't know the full details of his contract but 3m plus per year over next two years is quite high. Don't know if he's cuttable or not after this year.

We gave up essentially nothing, woo.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Wow.

Eagles get: 2014 Pats 5.
Patriots get: NT Isaac Sopoaga and 2014 Eagles 6.

And as expected, Eagles traded DT Isaac Sopoaga and a pick to the Patriots for a higher pick.

It is done:

Adam Schefter ?@AdamSchefter 27s

And as expected, Eagles traded DT Isaac Sopoaga and a pick to the Patriots for a higher pick.

A fifth rounder, according to Glazer, is what NE gave up. Got Sopoaga and a 6th back.

They couldn't pass up the 3rd rounder we offered.

(Kidding, kidding)

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Shefter said Sopoaga and a pick for a higher pick.

 

[manxman2601]

Sopoaga + 6th for our 5th.

Now that is cheap.

 

[patsinthesnow]

He is 79 overall on Madden, same as Tommy Kelly. #breakingnews

 

[Patriot Missile]

Not too shabby. Glad they got the 6th out of the deal.

 

[condon84]

Love these "friends of Belichick" HCs hooking us up.

We got 10 minutes left, BB should call Schiano for McCoy for a 5th round pick.

 

[Rob0729]

Nice trade. The Eagles' sixth round pick might not be too soon after the Pats' fifth rounder.

 

[PatriotReign]

I'm still curious as to why the Iggles were basically giving away a player that they picked up this offsesaon and was supposed to have a big role in their new defense.

Also I hope this move doesn't stunt the growth of Chris Jones whose snaps will diminish since I assume Kelly and Sopoaga will be the starters.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Nine minutes until BB elects for Dobson the rest of the season. I'm honestly surprised, but pleasantly surprised he believes in him.

 

[Ozymandias]

Essentially, they just traded peanuts for a good run stuffer which exactly is what the defense was sorely lacking in. Thanks, Chip & Howie!

 

[IcyPatriot]

He's listed at 330 ... probably at least 340 ... good enough.
