Trade Time

[ctpatsfan77]

Are you sure about that? My understanding has always been that a trade exists outside of the comp pick formulation, as the player’s contract was not signed for with the team but instead acquired via other means. This is why Belichick was always eager to trade low picks for depth pieces instead of signing them as free agents, because the traded-for player would not count against him in the formula and so he would get a better return back in the form of comp picks later.

If you trade for a qualifying player in the first year of his contract, then, yes, that player counts against your team in the comp pick formula. That happened when the Pats traded for Isaac Sopoaga in 2013, and it's why Brian Hoyer wasn't directly included in the Garoppolo trade in 2017.

Thanks, that's an interesting note I didn't see in the language. It makes sense though, since a first-year deal may as well have been signed by you.

The offensive line has been worse this year than any point the last two… and that’s really saying something.

Take away the RB fumbles and this year’s offense also doesn’t turn the ball over. Mac led the NFL in turnovers as a starter whenever he played the last two years.

In short, Jacoby is better than Mac even if he’s slightly above average. Mac stunk…

You really jinxed Sunday by posting that is Saturday. Four turnovers Sunday, not good.

We should try and pry RT Taylor Moton from the Panthers. Then sign LT Alaric Jackson in FA. There's your tackles, both very good pass blockers. Onwenu can play his natural spot, RG, and only focus on one position. Hopefully Strange can come back and be the center of the future. Between Jordan, Sow, and Robinson hopefully one can develop into a pretty solid LG. BOOM OL FIXED

I think going after Cam Robinson (LT) or Walker Little (is used as swing tackle and can play either side) from the Jaguars is worth a shot. Robinson is going to be a free agent after this season. So you could get either an experienced LT or a young OT that can play either side and you shouldn't need to give up much if the jags are willing to trade either one of those two.

As Bentley is on IR and after last weeks debacle on Defense should the Pats try to pursue Devin White if his injuries are not prohibitive??
OTOH see other teams trying to get better Adams to the Jets and Cooper to the BIlls, the Pats look like they are asleep at the wheel.. again.

Every other AFC east team has traded for a legitimate #1 WR.

Ive had my eye on alaric and cam robinson. Prefer alaric but is there any way rams let him hit fa? Cam may be more likely. Moton im not familiar with but pff has him rated nicely, maybe should look into him.

definitely Prefer to be buyers than sellers here though. We wont really get anything for the players mentioned and then you pay the dead cap. Might as well hang onto them until you find a clear better usage of their spot. Bourne and henry especially dont make sense, they were both mentioned in an article on the main page. Thats pure dysfunction if you sign someone to a 3 year extension and trade them months later. It’s better to snag a good player from one of the tanking teams that you can plan to build around.

Frustrated Second-Round Pick's Instagram Post Suggests Chiefs, Chargers Trade Could Materialize

The Patriots made Tyquan Thornton a healthy scratch ahead of Drake Maye's first start, and a recent post suggests a trade could happen

lastwordonsports.com

I guess a conditional 7th Rounder is better than nothing imo. I would see what he can do with Maye but that's just me. IF he ends with with one of those QB's and looks like a Player I'm going ask for Wolfe's head.

Maybe that's why Wolfe is sitting on his hands nobody should be able to beat us for Cam Robinson in FA. We'll get a good look at him Sunday Morning in England. A couple of Decent Offensive Tackles and Offense is set 25.

Actually it is. You'll see him Sunday @ 9:30 am

Absolutely agree. I think we have a find with Benny brown. But every where else on the OL need revamp. Mike Williams is available from the Jets I hear they may just release him if they can't find a trade partner.

I don't know what is going on with White but when TB won the SB in TB, White was a dynamo. I wanted him since then. If no one wants him we should at least give him a look.

Yeah before those Trades I thought we had a chance to split but we will probably get swept by both Teams now Sleeping Wolfe.

Absolutely brother now he has a QB that can throw guys open, throw on the run not like Brissett running away from throwing.. have to give mayo credit.. he knew he couldn't keep lying to the locker room.

Tyquan “Healthy Scratch” Thornton? He’s not showing up in practice and he’s not showing up in games (when he plays). Good players find a way to get on the field and contribute, no matter the circumstances. He will be released before the end of the season, unless there is a run of injuries. Another BB bust.

I would like to see Tyquan or even baker for that Matter get on the field and play with Drake.

The Rams’ biggest problem in recent years has been overpaying to keep their own guys, so probably not. Jackson himself beat out Joe Noteboom, who was handed a legitimate starting LT contract in 2022 despite a minuscule sample size at that position.

 

[rkarp1]

players going out;
Strange has zero trade value until he is on the field and showing health. AFter the season, I believe he is a free agent, no? have to think he has extremely limited market for maybe half a season.
Sow had shown last season he has good upside, and won the LG spot in camp. is he in the dog house? still injured?
TT has had 3 seasons to show anything. he hasn't been able to. wouldn't he have PS eligibility?
Osborn might be useful if someone injures, but right now Boutte, Bourne, Polk, Pop are getting snaps. rightfully so.

players coming in;
the Browns have announced they are open for business. Will they make Wills or Conklin available? are they worth a 3rd? both are seemingly healthy, not playing a lot, and are contract situations the Browns may want to exit.

Why do you think they are both not getting playing time? Poor evaluation or poor performance in practice? It has to be one or the other, right? Word is Baker can't even line up correctly and keeps running the wrong routes. And Thorton can't get on the field despite our below average receiver core. I guess you could make the argument that the type of routes that should be Thorton's bread & butter aren't available because the OL can't protect long enough for the play and QB couldn't make the throws anyway.
