Harmon Traded to Lions

God damn... maybe we really are tanking. What’s the compensation?

So we gave McCourty good $ and traded a back up S so that means we’re tanking? Huh?

I wouldn’t have agreed with doing it until we lost Brady but now I’m on board with the championship window closed.

Oh yeah I was operating under the feeling Tom wasn't coming back

You don’t understand the meaning of the word “maybe” then? Here. This should help...

And a big potential problem is we won’t have Brady calling out the protections, his knowledge of reading D’s, and putting the line in the best spot possible.

Brady is the best ever at putting his team in its best possible scenario pre-snap. That’s a luxury we won’t have anymore.

It's going to be alright. Scar will coach 'em up...

No that was a sarcastic tweet from a Detroit sportswriter, there is no "player to be named later"

Well that's stupid. No way to tell that was sarcastic.

I don't get moving on from Harmon while keeping Chung, as I think Harmon is the better player at this point in time for a variety of reasons.

That said, I say that without any knowledge of cap implications and contractual flexibility.

Going to miss Harmon; he was lowkey a very good player here.

Man, I will miss Harmon. My favorite play...the interception in Pittsburgh to ice the game 2 years ago.

While a great memory, it's not even close to his interception in the 2014 playoffs against the Ravens. That was a great game, best I ever witnessed live, and Harmon's pick sealed it.

Only reason I can think of for keeping Chung over Harmon is the leadership factor, and even that's flimsy considering we're talking about 2 team captains.

Awww don’t get so defensive. You become such a smart ass child when someone disagrees.

Wtf is this team doing!!

They have no cap, no starting QB

I have mixed feelings on blowing it up.

All I know is I am still pretty pissed off they lost the best player to ever play the game.

Think we are moving on from Chung?
Wouldn't surprise me

I hope. He has lost a step.

This decade is starting pretty poorly. Scar, Brady, KVN, Harmon all gone. Collins wasn't as big a deal, but it's still something.

Teams going to feel weird.

Not being defensive or a smart ass at all. You either missed the word “maybe” or didn’t know its definition. Considering the post was only 10 words, I didn’t see how it was possible to miss it so I went off the assumption that you didn’t know its meaning. Oh, and, uh, pot meet kettle.

Best of Luck to Harmon! Great guy who was clutch when it counted. But this move is not a huge surprise. Harmon was on many lists as a potential surpise trade or cut near the end of training camp last summer. Hopefully, Brooks can step up.

We need to keep our secondary intact at all costs if we aren't tanking. Lets trade to get him back lol.

The panic is this thread is reminiscent of what we see in GDT.

It is March 18th, the league year starts... TODAY!

Let's wait until after the draft before we address how good the team will be. PLENTY of movement still to happen.

Maybe the Patriots should sign Lions free agent safety Tavon Wilson to take Harmon’s place.

Might as well if we are tanking...

Forgive me if it’s been posted but does anyone have the exact trade details? All I’ve seen is a swap of late rounders but then I’ve heard multiple picks.
