Harmon Traded to Lions

[ViperGTS]

Right now Buffalo is the best team in the division and it's not even close.

Let’s wait and see what happens. Buffalo tasted some success.

Oh and if that’s true, why does Vegas have the Pats post Brady as the favorites in the division? Guess you know more than them.

 

[Nikolai]

Got that GDT vibe in here.

Just waiting to see what happens...

He'll keep the secondary on lockdown.

Careful, or the politically insane people will follow you from the other thread, and put you in their books.

 

[Deus Irae]

OK, so this is your assessment 35 minutes into free agency?

Is he wrong?

[NormZauchin]

Hmmm

Maybe we should resign Scott Secules.

Sounds like a plan. A fellow I worked with was a boyhood friend of Secules. Maybe he knows where Secules can be found.

It's also my assessment after looking at their rosters, coaching staffs & front offices.

Obviously we have a whole offseason to go but, given what we have right now, mediocre is putting it kindly. This team is... pretty bad.

Do you believe that our defense won't be top 10 by midseason, as it always is?
(I presume that Belichick will sign another NT and LB, and use a top draft pick on a LB)

Do you believe that the special teams are pretty bad?
=========
I have no words for the offense. They have along way to go before they are mediocre.

Thats why I said "right now." Please learn to read.

The main reason we traded Harmon is to gain about 3-4m of cap space.

Harmon was a valuable rotation piece in the secondary, making a lot of memorable and big time interceptions when the game was on the line.

He's gonna be missed. But clearly after paying Devin McCourty, BB wanted more cap space to play with.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

My boy Obi is ready

 

[Ochmed Jones]

My boy Obi is ready

to start his new career as a wal-mart greeter?

 

[FCB02062]

Why resign the mccourty twins if you're tanking? This trade make zero sense. Trading Harmon for nothing is a tank move...

 

[mgteich]

My boy Obi is ready

Yup.

Obi and Brooks are available as backup free safeties. Also, Williams and Jason may find themselves playing in safety roles.

 

[captain stone]

...Obi and Brooks are available as backup free safeties...

Terry Brooks absolutely Sucks.

 

[supafly]

Terry Brooks absolutely Sucks.

He didn’t look great giving up a couple of big plays late in the year, I know that. I really liked Duron Harmon a lot and don’t care much for this move.

[JayNM]

While Ill miss him and he did have the clutch gene

Whenever he got trusted into the starting role for a long periods, flaws would show up

Dont look now, but a Safety to play with D-Mc is kinda of a need, since Chung might be co(o)ked

EDIT - with that being said, does anybody else feel like we are getting some weird trade values lately? 5th for him + 7th seems low

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Not terrible that 5th rounder could be Cole McDonald

 

[1960Pats]

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

Didn't he also have a big int vs the Ratbirds in the double-double-TD comeback win in 14?
