Dont'a Hightower on the trade block?

What does @TennisBallHead think of this? He needs to post more.

What about Uncle Meat? AKA the dumbest MFer any deity has ever placed on the face of the earth.

Troy Brown said that Hightower played more in the preseason game to showcase his skills to trade him. WTF?

Is Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower on the trade market?

This is where we could use a "WTF?!" emoji.

If we’re going for the worst LB core in nfl history.

We’d have to rename them “The 5.05 40 Gang”.

I still had faith in you.

Thanks Ron

Shaking the rust off, is all. Troy does not have bingo on this one.

Wait for the moslot thread asking if we’d trade Hightower to Cleveland for a 4th and 7th round pick.

The trade he’s proposing is Hightower along with wins in SBs 52, 46, and 42 in exchange for a third-round pick and losses in SBs 51, 49, and 39 (with a conditional of swap 39 for 36 depending on Hightower’s playing time.)

You guys will have to fill me in on who "Uncle Meat" is.

Id trade him for a First Round if we get a decent replacement (as in, someone as good as Van Noy for exambple) so we don't suck as much in the position.

I love HT, but he is not reliable

He’s the poster with the second best name ever.

The video of what Troy actually said, "sometimes it makes sense" ... or sometimes makes no sense.

Thanks Ron

Perhaps Hightower has had a poor camp and not the player he was?

His name still brings clout in a trade though. Not uncommon for BB to unload players before they hit the wall. Hightower is 28 years old and his play dropped off in 2016. Yes, he made plays in the Super Bowl. Entering his 7th season he has only been available for 16 games 1 season.

Seems crazy, but the Pats nearly won the SB without him.

Agree we do not know in what shape is Hightower after the injury. All we know are some reports from the camp and a slogan "good to have him back". However if Hightower is really in a trade block as our best LB and has lost BB's trust I would be in shock in week 1 with our LB's core with KVN as a leader.

I always thought your name was the best on the board..

You can never rule anything out with Bill. Hightower is a middle LB thumper who rushes on 3rd down. If Bill think's he can get some of the early down production out of Bentley and the 3rd down rush from a combination of Rivers/Langi/Van Noy etc then he may pull the trigger. Hightower's health plays into this too. Perhaps they know his long term prognosis isn't great.

Now I don't think they just trade him for nothing but if someone offered a 2nd rounder or better then Bill may look at it.

What is interesting is they have a lot of similar style LBs - Hightower, Bentley, Van Noy, even Roberts. They could do with finding a 3rd down cover guy and having less of the early down guys.

Thanks Ron, 19 years of being right about how much Belichick sucks and you still don’t get any credit.
