Report: Patriots interested in trading for TE Hayden Hurst

Approved

Ravens won’t do it because it will increase the chances of Tom leaving.

Well, it seems Carolina is the competition for him. How much can they give up? What do the Ravens want? Them's the key questions. But Hurst is rated highly by BB.

Why would the Ravens trade this guy to the Patriots if they had other teams on the hook?

Because they owe us for Harbaby? But really though you are right. They aren’t a great trade partner for us considering that.

He’s a good player, I’d give up a 3rd for him. Definitely not a 1st.

Rumor has it he's unhappy with his role in Baltimore, especially since they are a run first offense and Andrews is their number 1 TE

Ravens will hold out until Tom signs somewhere. If Tom returns, they will not trade him to the Pats.

It would be one of the weirder trade partners for sure. Then again, we traded Bledsoe inside the division, so it's not completely outrageous. Not putting the odds high though.

FIFY

Makes no sense at all. The only reason the Ravens would trade with us is if they think he's a stiff or we way overpay.

Something doesn’t quite add up here. It’s a player from Jacksonville, hosting a charity event in Jacksonville today, being reported on by a Jacksonville reporter.

Sounds to me like the Jaguars have been told that they’re bidding against the Patriots, and I’m skeptical whether they actually are or not. I assume Hurst would strongly prefer to go to the Jaguars.

I would be afraid to give up a 3rd for this guy. His numbers haven’t been there. I rather give up a 3rd for the guy in tampa. Howard.

They saw the sanu trade most likely. ‍ I don’t like hurst as much here. Is he gonna become a different player here?

While we're at it, I'll take Pat Mahomes for a future 2nd round pick (we already gave up this year's).

hasn't Bruce Arians said they weren't interested in moving OJ Howard? They wouldn't move him last year... and I'd bet a dozen donuts that BB offered them the 2 he sent to Atlanta for Sanu...

As for Hurst ... Maybe a three... would rather give up something like a 4 instead of a three ... he really hasn't done much to make me want to over pay for him just out of desperation...

Have to take into account of things here. Tampa hasn’t utilized Howard like the guy in college. Last year of his contract. The guy might stand to lose a lot of money once he hits free agency with a lousy year and an unknown QB at the moment. Nobody is gonna give tampa a number 2 for howard.
