Mike Reiss speculates brown and Roberts for golden tate

[maineman209]

Ill say it again Thomas knows the system Broncos have alot of young receivers we could of had one.
We will now cough up value for Thomas.
Which im ok with.

IIRC, Decker "knows the system".

Eh, I like Reiss. People just need to realize when he makes comments particularly preceded by “as a fantasy gm I think” he’s just like a poster saying what they would do, and not act as if he is passing along a rumor.

I LOVE Reiss the journalist. I think saying Reiss the analyst is "just like a poster" is insulting some here at PatsFans.

 

[Ring 6]

Is this wink, wink "speculation" or Reiss just tossing out a theoretical possibility in response to a question?

Reiss literally preceded it with “playing fantasy gm” and basically shot it down as unrealistic himself.

Whatever anyone thinks of Brown, there's no one else on the roster who can take over for him. Especially with Shelton here, we could see improvement with Brown. Malcolm has a different skill set from any other Pats dt.
Even if this trade were real, I wouldn't like it.
I'm sure they'll be other options for wr depth.

 

[Ivan]

Yep.

Tate is an outstanding receiver and both he and Brown are in the last year of their contracts. Roberts is a throw in. Address the biggest need now.

 

[captain stone]

How about Roberts, Richards, Grissom, Valentine, Gillislee, Allen, Croston & Ferentz in exchange for Tate, TE Michael Roberts, LG/LT Joe Dahl, SS Miles Killebrew & DT Sly Williams?

The Lions would do that, right?

If you're playing Madden

I think Thomas has a lot more left than eric decker.

 

[Love The Drake]

I want the defense to be as strong as possible. Can't afford to make it weaker. Brown is solid and there's no doubt it would so

Brady and the offense (even as is) will be fine.

IIRC, Decker "knows the system".

However Thomas isn't athletically finished.

 

[Froob]

Hmm

 

[Froob]

Wasn’t Tate a big name linked to us pre draft becaus he played for Charlie Weiss at Notre Dame?

Mike Reiss speculating that the Pats could trade Malcom Brown and Elandon Roberts to the Lions for Golden Tate.

I'm not sure about this. We need a WR, but Tate has a 9.3 mil cap hit, last year of his contract, and he is 30. Would you make this trade?

The best NE DT per andy johnson?

 

[Triumph]

Golden Tate would make Brady very happy I wouldn't miss Brown and especially Roberts.

Brown is a bust and a lazy fat ***.

Good riddance.

Basically it's Malcolm Brown for Golden Tate....I don't think I would do that straight up....The fact that we are so thin at the wide out position I might consider it though and add in that we would be getting rid of Roberts and I'm very intrigued!!!

I just don’t know about him. That was a brutal knee injury he suffered preseason 2017. Who knows if he ever makes it back to the level he was at pre-injury. Crazy how things work out, he stays healthy imo he takes the leap to #1 in Chicago and Allen Robinson signs with SF instead.

They are also razor thin at LB. They do have enough with the overall receivers = if they stay healthy. The depth is very problematic unless they get a career year out of someone like White, Dorsett or Patterson. There's also the issue of peeps not learning the system

Bedard has been using Miguel's info to infer they can't keep Brown next year. Of course worst case there is a comp pick.

Tempting but it's a no for me.

DT without brown is a bigger need than we without Tate

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Why Tate?

Jones is the deep threat. Didn’t he average 18 ypc last season?

Looking at the 2019 DL, it's not just about affording Brown. It's also about affording Shelton and Trey Flowers. Edge guys with well-rounded games are difficult to come by, and competent Nose Tackles may be even rarer, especially outside the first 15 or 20 picks.
