Eric Rowe

[AtomicDawg]

Pats transactions this year have been weird as heck. Stork, Vereen, and now Kline. So bizarre.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Whatever, as long as we get Rowe and get rid of Kline.

Apparently they have been trying to do just that for this whole weekend. Maybe the Pats saw where the Eagles were going to move Kline and decided to do it on their own.

I bet you also thought no way would BB sign a top flight free agent like Darelle Revis. Point being, BB does the unexpected all the time. Just because he hasn't drafted a wR in first round doesn't mean he won't break the trend.

Those shiny hood ornaments help our team win. And don't rely on an aging 40 year old QB to have the carry the team on his back with less WRs.

They don't help nearly as much as other positions. That's why they're shiny hood ornaments.

Sighting revis in that situation was a no brainier, especially since he's at a position that makes a difference.

If we could make it Rowe for a 4th and then move Kline separately for a 7th that would be greeeat.

They'll only get a comp pick IF they lose more players than they sign. And, It's much more likely a Duron Harmon off-set than a Ryan off-set since Rowe played Safety in College.

I think Ryan leaves because he will fetch way more then we are willing to pay him. Honestly I think its the best case scenario for this team. Hopefully he plays amazing this year, (we win SB51) and Bill puts him in a situation (safety help a lot) to put up deceiving numbers, and then some stupid team gives him a ridiculous contract. When I look at the list of 2017 FA CB's to be, I could easily see him being the top FA Corner available.

With the amount of potential one year rentals we have (Cooper, Mingo) and pending FA's, along with solid depth on the roster, I highly doubt we bring in as many FA as we may lose.

Well report was Eagles were looking to trade Kline immediately. I imagine they couldn't find a deal and dropped him from the trade.

My guess is Kline was only being traded because Pats were gonna have to cut someone and Kline was that guy so Belichick threw him in the deal and the Eagles decided to take him to try to get another draft pick.

Which sucks, because I really found a silver lining in that 1.7 million in cap space we saved .

Ross, if we were able to move Kline for a bag of donuts, I would take it

There's no trade on the transaction wire....was BB trolling us all? Lol

Someone is gone to reach the 53.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Welp, we still got Rowe.

 

[juny]

Just saw news, Kline not part of trade, may get released anyway.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Someone is gone to reach the 53.

Who might that be? 3 I could think of would be Jones, Karras or Richards? Maybe Richards.

 

[AtomicDawg]

BB on the radio said the opposite though.

Miguel makes a good point here.

Still would save it if they cut him.

Come on Cap'n, you're better than that. Reality check: last year you were ready to spend a first-round pick on Eric Rowe. Now you're clinging to some speculative tweet to "prove" that Belichick is an idiot chump for gambling a late 4th on him?

It's fine to be a principled contrarian, but this just amounts to "If Bill's for it, I'm against it!"

A tweet that doesn't seem to exist. Wonderful Patchick, yet another reason you're the GOAT poster here in my opinion. So awesome to see Captain Hindsight get burned by...himself.

 

[ausbacker]

Another example of BB the GM killing BB the HC.

Honestly, has there ever been an operator as shrewd at identifying and acquiring underutilised and depressed assets such as BB?

Love this move.

Still would save it if they cut him.

was wondering if that was the case
