Good thread.

From the article:

The Rams permitted Jackson to seek a trade after he was limited by injuries and was later benched last season. He’s owed $8.5 million guaranteed on March 12th and will make a base salary of $9 million in 2025.

Los Angeles will save $3.3 million in cap space and take on a dead cap hit of $11.3 million for the 2025 season. The Bears are taking on Jackson’s contract as is, per SI.com’s Albert Breer. He’s under contract through 2026 with $9 million guaranteed in 2025 and $17 million non-guaranteed owed for 2026.

He's a 28 year old guard (limited time at center too) and while we aren't strong on the interior, we have enough guys with some ability that I don't think we need to spend $9M on reclamation projects either. I'd be open to adding a HIGH END player to the position group (i.e. Trey Smith if he wasn't tagged) or even someone a younger player less established that they're really, really high on (Teven Jenkins, potentially). But players on the older side making big money that haven't been very good recently? Hard pass. The hardest of passes for me, really. I have no issues with us not doing this whatsoever.

Remember last August when Wolf was "excited" about the Patriots offensive line despite failing all off season to secure a starting left or right tackle.

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly he learned from his Dad.

 

[Ross12]

Wolf is "asleep" because he didn't trade for a guy who isn't very good at a position they don't have a huge need at, with an overpriced contract?

Okay... Do you want him to trade for Kirk Cousins next?

Why do we need another guard when we have Strange, Sow, and Robinson already. Our problem is tackle. Are you just one of those fans who think o-line means o-line and we need to just get them all?

 

[mgteich]

I suggest that we direct all criticism to Vrabel. Or, do we believe that Wolf is in charge of personnel decisions?

How to hide porn

 

[Grogan14]

Yes he is asleep just like last year.
He is shopping in the "reduced for quick sale bin" once again.
Prepare yourselves for trash next week

The guy is a passive timid dweeb

It's Vrabes.

Hes shouldn't be judged by this non-decision as the Bears are idiots and Jackson was demoted.

If being 'asleep' is why Wolf didn't make this deal, I'll eat my own pillow. Bad trade for a poor player on a crap deal at a position where the Pats have too many bodies piled up already. Honestly starting to think a fair percentage of thread starters this time of year were dropped on their heads as children, at least half the threads posted during lying season are nonsensical.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Why would we want to trade for this guy when next week you would be able to pursue a pat mekhari or possibly teven jenkins without even having to worry about giving up a pick, and both are better anyway?

 

[Ring 6]

Not a deal we should have been in on, but I think we slept through Deebo for a 5th. Perhaps we have others we are focused on like kupp or Godwin.

 

[Vindicate]

How to spell his last name, and it's quite remarkable how far that has taken him.

I suppose that's the $64,000 question.

 

[Rob0729]

Call me when a team trades a LT for relatively cheap to another team that the Patriots didn't get.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Not a fit for the Pats. Who cares?

So correct me if I'm wrong but I'm going to have to become outraged every time another team makes a deal for a mediocre veteran that YOU decided was someone who looked good on a list you happened to see one time.

This guy is NO ONE anyone would get excited about. He has no more chance to be a massive upgrade over what we saw last year than a healthy Siddy Sow might have or anyone of a other guys who had their good and bad moments last year. Would he be a better LG prospect than say, a healthy Strange.

Let's face it. Our OL is a blank slate as of now and anything we say is pure supposition until we know at least these limited facts. What is the primary offensive blocking going to be. Will it be more zone, or more power, or some combination of the 2. How is this program going to be taught and by whom? What will be the primary pass blocking schemes? So much has yet to be determined. How much of the offense will Maye be given to run with. 20%? 30% How much will the receivers get?

Are we really going to go amok on a daily basis over every rumor or possibility that comes down the pike. It that's true then expect the chaos we were promised by the powers to be and be happy with it. I mean their goal is to keep us anxious, angry and afraid of everything and based on what I'm seeing in recent content, that is how we are reacting too,

And if they have a great free agency and draft you will be giving all the props to Vrabel.
