Right, the Pats won't do it (and I don't want them to). But if you're the Seahawks and setting the asking price for Sherman, you don't set your asking price based on what the frugal Patriots would be willing to offer, you set the asking price based on a pool of 31 teams being able to submit...

Honestly, I don't think it's that crazy. The Bucs gave up #13 overall for a 27-year-old Darrell Revis (coming off a torn ACL) and then payed him $16M for the one season he played there. Now let me be completely clear, I am absolutely, wholeheartedly against trading anything remotely close for...

Holy forced narrative, Batman.

Yawn. Obviously a joke.

That's not what I said at all. Dimitroff is clearly upset about the Super Bowl. I am not disputing that. What you, and many in this topic, are doing is making a logical leap, and saying that the only reason Dimitroff wants the rules changed is because his team lost. Yes, that is absolutely...

Come on, dude, this is common sense. If Dimitroff brought this up before it wouldn't have been headline news. Nobody would've bothered reporting on it. Chances are he was interviewed, was asked a topical question ("hey, the Falcons lost the SB in overtime -- on that topic, what's your opinion...

Wow, I almost spit almost my drink reading this. This is hilarious. If the Patriots and Saints discussed Butler, are so utterly naive that you think Sean Payton would publicly reveal that? (Knowing that a wink-wink, nudge-nudge discussion would be skirting the rules in a harmless way?) Hey...

This is a stunning development. The Saints are giving up the #11 for Butler, the Browns are giving up #1 overall for Jimmy G, and Cleveland will also retroactively send us #12 for Jamie Collins (because Bill Belichick is going to scowl at them and intimidate them into giving it to us). By April...

The Brown have #1 and #12 though. They could easily draft Garrett and one of Tribusky/Watson/Kizer/Mahomes. It's not "draft a QB or draft Myles Garrett"... they can, and probably will, do both. They can likely package #12 and #33 and move back into the top 5 in the draft (according to the draft...

Having too many draft picks is a "problem" with a finite number of roster spots, but they don't have to use all them this year. They have a lot of options. For example, they could package 2-3 picks together to move up in the draft. Like, say, trading a 3rd, a 4th and a 7th to move up to the...

This is clearly and obviously what happened, and the reactions in this topic are just reinforcing the "Pats fans are sensitive" stereotypes.

I don't think it's fair to pigeonhole this as sour grapes. For all we know, Thomas Dimitroff has been in favor of changing overtime for years (lots of players/coaches have). The article makes it sound like Dimitroff issued a press release demanding change. In reality, someone probably asked him...

Moss is a really weak comparison. Josh Gordon has been out of football for years. He is one suspension away from being completely out of the league, maybe forever. Moss' star had fallen, but he was still a starter and playing meaningful football. Even after being traded to Oakland he was...

I've actually noticed this too. Michaels is 72 now and clearly at the tail-end of his career. He feels like he's just mailing it in anymore. I don't necessarily think he's "bad", but he used to be superb and now he just feels kind of... lazy and a little unprepared.

There were rumblings of a trade for Cooks like ten days before it happened. Hell, even in the Cooks thread, people said the same thing ("the chances of a Cooks trade happening are very unlikely, we NEVER hear about moves in advance"). Remember, it takes two to tango. Just because the Pats keep...

I love this move. And good god, can we go one topic without turning it into a pity party about how a change is rooted in some nefarious master plan by the league to dupe the Patriots? This place is starting to become a case study for mass delusion. I'm convinced that like 75% of the posters...

The problem I have with your argument is that you come off as incredibly biased. It's like you're saying, "Bill Belichick is a man of incredible honor and dignity. He would never make a handshake agreement that slightly skirted the rules! The only outcome of this situation that I believe is...

There was a game a couple years ago where Kam Chancellor did this on literally consecutive snaps! Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor leaps to block two field goals Personally, I don't like it. I was watching the CAR-NE game from the video above, and it really rubbed me the wrong way. It...

Although he also said, "...and we'll be able to look at it three years down the road with what we're able to do with the first-round pick and then also the additional third-round pick." That's a bit of a strange comment, considering many think they're flipping the first round pick back to NE...

Okay, you may believe that, but the majority of the evidence points to a trade already being worked out in advance. It makes too much sense. The Saints would've had to pay Cooks a roster bonus if they hadn't traded him when they did. The Patriots couldn't trade Butler because he hadn't signed...
