Clayton: Pats "frantically" calling around for third receiver

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

The Pats need a 3rd WR. Edelman won't cut it this year.

I've been a "Bring Branch Back If The Price Is Right" guy but this little blurb has got to shudder all hope and speculation..

Seattle Seahawks WR Deion Branch Says "His Knee Will Never Feel Normal Again"

Wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks Deion Branch underwent reconstructive knee surgery this year. Branch was recently quoted by the Associated Press as saying, "You will never be back to normal once you have this type of procedure done." If his recovery goes well Branch will make a decent fantasy receiver, but his performance may fall short of previous years

Anybody still want to give anything more than a football away for this guy?

You know if the Bengals were not contending this season I could truly see BB making a serious move for Chad

Adalius Thomas and a 2nd for Chad would be cool,but since Cincy is well in contention you can ***gedaboutit

Not to mention even if they weren't in contention, AD's dead cap in any trade would put us over the cap...by about $3M before we even factored in Chad's cap and the trade price....

Shut up. Serious?

I know! I was flabbergasted reading that. I found it unbelievable.

Someone read Salisbury's book? No way!

And you think Deion "Bone-on-Bone" Branch is going to be an improvement? Edelman has been pretty good so far, and he appears to be getting better.

David Givens? Hart Lee Dykes?

 

[Deus Irae]

There's probably nothing that's going to happen, if history is any guide. It doesn't mean that calls aren't being made, though.

I'll see you and raise you a Shockmain Davis, Tony Gaiter, and Sir Mawn Wilson.

Fred Coleman has a great catch once....

I guarantee calls are being made. Calls are also being made about OLB, RB, TE, and a handful of other positions, and have been for atleast a weak. This whole "Frantically looking for a WR" that you keep insisting has no evidence behind it.

 

[mesoslo]

Its like professional poker, teams only play when they have really good hands. So you hardly see a trade near the deadline.

I'll call you with...Donald Hayes

I'll call you with...Donald Hayes

I'll raise you a Dietrich Jells, Hason Graham, Anthony Ladd, Ray Crittenden, Ronnie Harris and Will Moore

There's no way BB would bring in a thug like Henry. It's one thing to be something of a malcontent, it's another to be a criminal the likes of Henry.

Tate will be all the Pats need as far as a 3rd wr. When its all said and done Tate will be a diamond in the rough. I like his study habits, he could of just sluffed this season off and collected a paycheck but instead decided to become a film junkie from what I've heard. His rehabilitation went better than expected and here we are in week 7 ahead of schedule with him practicing with the Pats.

The writing is on the wall with this kid. Look at Hakeem Nicks over there in NY. He's progressing really well. If you would of asked me which receiver I would of chosen in the draft 2 years ago it was Tate no question before the injury. JT slid to us in the draft just like Curtis Martin slid back in 95 because of an injury.

Yes I realize different offensive units and coaching styles and maybe comparing the two players are wrong but again, I'm really impressed with some of the things I've read with Tate thus far. I was ecstatic when we drafted him and I now predict it will pay dividends here in the near future.

I like your optimisim, Missile. Heres to hoping!
