Patriots Trade Hooman to the Saints for Akiem Hicks

Patriot Missile said:

I think Hooman will do good over there blocking for Ingram. Saints fans are disappointed but I think he is underrated as a pass catcher (not great) and will provide an extra boost to their running game.

Might not provide either unless Jimmy Graham is still their best run blocker.

Hooman

Wouldn't it be great if the Pats decided to give him a try at TE?

Watching the way a once horrible but turned great team like the Saints have been decimated by the administration of the NYFL, it makes me glad that the Pats have been able to overcome their attempt at dismantling our team too. It's a very sad thing to see and something that I can't continue to support much longer.

Saints forum is kind of in shock. He's been underachieving and lost some playing time lately, and probably wouldn't have been re-signed this offseason, but at one point two years ago he looked like the cornerstone of a good defense and now he's being traded for a nobody. Oh well. good luck with him, I'd love to see him fulfill his potential.

If Jimmy Graham's their best run blocker, then they've got really big problems.

You know, since he plays for Seattle.

Jimmy Graham and block in the same sentence seems kind of funny to me.

I don't even know how the **** they pulled this off.

It's like trading a 'One free small fries' ticket to someone for a raffle ticket for a new sports car. Sure it might not work out but are we really going to miss Huh-oh?

You know, as soon as I posted that I said to myself: "here comes a 'that's the joke' graphic.

No, that's the joke.

Was at a stand still, got rear ended by a distracted driver and launched into the car in front of me. The texts, calls, timelines can wait!

Yeah, this one is a steal

Wow, very surprised. Hicks can play at a high level if his head is in the game. Would make an excellent DT for us if so.

@srevolution: Akiem Hicks came into the year looking like a star in the making. Another failed early-round draft pick for NO. https://t.co/yHMfkPaN8j

Hope he's alright, Ben Watson is a good guy.
