Spillane is a defensive leader in Vrabels new system hand picked to come here. Henderson is going to be our starting back by next season and he’s on a Rookie deal and he’s explosive.
Barmore when healthy is one of the most dominant DL in the league he’s versatile we need him.
I wouldn’t put any of them along with multiple high picks for Parsons.
Now straight up trade?
I would trade any of them for Barmore straight up,
I’m thinking the trade would look like our first next year,
Stevenson, Strange, White.
If Bob Kraft signs off on this its time to take his car keys, belt and shoe strings.You have a chance at Parsons without giving up Maye, Gonzalez, Henderson, Barmore, Spillane, you do it.
Why do anything then? Why waste money on Diggs or Milton?This team is not ready to contend in the post season.
What is your plan? To contend for a Super Bowl in 3 years when Parsons is 29?
There is no magic fix or move. And now some Fantasy GMs want to trade away at least a 1st round pick and blow up the cap for the shiny object.
Parsons is 26 today and before you know it 28 and the Pats still are not on solid ground. In fact the Pats would be in worst condition because they traded their top pick away and committed too much money on 1 player.
What happens when Parsons is double teamed and the other NE pass rushers fail to reach the QB? Then what do you have? You need to invest more money to help Parsons succeed because you've already invested a fortune in him.
Not even punishment for tampering.The Bears defense was questionable too.
BB never opted for these get rich quick schemes. The Jets had to have Revis back and it got them nothing.
I only listed 2 firsts going out
Sorry can you elaborate on this?If Bob Kraft signs off on this its time to take his car keys, belt and shoe strings.
Would be team suicide. Three first round picks, god no.I wouldn’t give 3 first round picks for anyone.
You're giving up 3 young starters and 3 rookie contracts. It appears that Wolfe and Groh had a good draft. Right now keep them pulling the strings.Sorry can you elaborate on this?
I listed the core players we absolutely shouldn’t part with anything else has to be in discussion.
So you are saying you would not trade three firsts for Parsons?You're giving up 3 young starters and 3 rookie contracts. It appears that Wolfe and Groh had a good draft. Right now keep them pulling the strings.
There is no guarantee that you'll hit on 3 starters? Ok
There is also no guarantee that Parsons will remain healthy.
I hope (and think) the good draft was more about Vrabs than those 2. Understood BB had the loudest voice prior, but Wolf and Groh were also involved in last years draft which was terrible. So let's keep Vrabs pulling the stings.You're giving up 3 young starters and 3 rookie contracts. It appears that Wolfe and Groh had a good draft. Right now keep them pulling the strings.

NoSo you are saying you would not trade three firsts for Parsons?
What about first and two seconds?
Schefter speculates 2 - 1sts and 1- 3rd.Would be team suicide. Three first round picks, god no.
I did that deal.Schefter speculates 2 - 1sts and 1- 3rd.
Schefter speculates 2 - 1sts and 1- 3rd.
The issue is there isn’t a world where the economics would work for NE.
Not only would they have to give him a massive contract (probably doable) but it would GUT their draft picks for a few years thus creating a young talent void that they are only just now beginning to recover from.
To me, too many needs and not good timing.
For context..
Because Diggs and Milton cost nothing and they're on reasonable deals.Why do anything then? Why waste money on Diggs or Milton?
Also speaking of Milton he and Barmore would go a long way to keeping double teams off Micah. Or vice versa if they double team Micah then Barmore and Milton should kill it.
Bottom line with those 3 on defense and Gonzo you would have a good enough D to compete as soon as Drake is ready and I'd rather put that in place now so as soon as Drake is ready we can take off rather than start in 3 years when Parsons is 29.
Sorry but it's dumb logic. If you want to talk about giving up to much money or draft capital fine but Drake and Campbell's age should not stop you if anything that's a reason to start going all in. Surround your back to back top 5 picks with as much as you can so the team is ready to take off when they are.
Trade the 2026 2nd for McLaurin.
