Big trade. And not the one we expected.

Oh this guy was a total beast in SB50. He's a big time pass rusher. This is great.

Carolina trading DE Kony Ealy and a third-round pick to Patriots in exchange for New England's second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.


BIG TIME TRADE. And not bad value. Move down 10 or so spots?

Someone called this earlier, saying that the Panthers had brought in a lot of DEs. Very interesting. That's a fair price, dropping back only a few slots (8 I think? not bad). Exciting to see this team take shape!

Not bad.

Nice. If they can lock up Hightower, this would be a fun 2 days.

Here I thought today was being boring! Beat me to it. What a trade. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Low risk and didn't give up much.

Pats move from 64 to 72. No risk here. Edit: It could be #98 (the comp pick). Still love it. IDK which it is.

Kony Ealy

He is better than his sack numbers say imo. He is on the final year of his contract. 1,128,538 cap hit total for this year.

Yeah, I just saw that and was like "No way that happens!". 15 minutes later and I'm eating crow.

Hmm, We didn't pay much, so I'm okay with it, but Ealy's been a disappointment of sorts... Not really excited, we'll see

I missed that it was only 8 slots. That's awesome.

Does anyone know if the Patriots have a way to recoup that 2nd round pick?

Holy hell, how did this happen!? Belichick is the goat coach/gm!
