I'm guessing none. We'll see what a genius Belichick is when he pushes TB out the door. I have a feeling Bill wants to show everyone he can win without Tom Brady -- that's why he's keeping JG and that's why Tom isn't going to be around much longer in NE.
Good luck, Bill. You're going to need it.
I assume almost everyone will say no, he's not needed. And perhaps that's true. But I liked what I saw in his limited time here.
WR position is pretty full. But a cheap one year contract? Anyone?
It's been quiet for awhile. Belichick started the off-season with several bold moves. I think most of us really like those moves.
But now? The draft is around the corner and there are a couple of potential trade assets that Belichick could package in several different trade scenarios --...
Before everyone throws stones at me, consider....
* Apparently, BB has decided to keep his backup QB and NOT trade him for what would be a huge amounts of picks, meaning he truly, truly values JG.
* After this season, no matter what happens, JG will be a free agent and if BB let's him walk, it...
I'll go first.
Trades:
1) Trade JG to Cleveland for #12, #52, and a 2nd in next year's draft.
Draft Picks:
Round 1- (#12) Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee (Most productive pass rusher in the draft)
Round 2- (#52) Curtis Samuel, WR, Ohio State (Edeleman's eventual replacement, 4.31 speed)
Round...
First, let me say this isn't a criticism -- rather, just an observation. BB started the off season on fire: signing Gilmore, Guy, Burkhead, trading for Cooks, Allen, and Ealy. That's impressive. Also, of course, re-signing Hightower and Harmon. With those moves the Patriots are in great...
5 Super Bowl wins have been great, majestic, heart-pounding, special. Of course. But as a fan, I look at the roster, at the moves Belichick has made so far this off-season, and truly believe that with just a few more bold moves, the next two seasons (and perhaps even the next 3 or 4 seasons)...
Tom Brady is unique. We all agree. And yet, he's always been undersold. At Michigan, they preferred the hotshot local recruit and wanted to give him the job. After splitting time, eventually Brady proved the better QB. Fittingly, in his final game, he beat Alabama in an epic come from...
That was the discussion and consensus on the NFL network round table.
My question. Why would New England give up their leverage where they'd get a 1st round pick for any team who signed him? Why would they take LESS?
Makes no sense whatsoever. You tell me, a 2nd round pick or a year with...
Bill Belichick is unquestionably off to a great start. But there is much still to do.
Here would be (at least for me) the perfect scenario that sets New England up to completely dominate the NFL for the next 3 or 4 years.
1) Sign Dont'a Hightower. Obviously.
2) Do NOT trade Malcolm Butler...
