No cap space for Collins. Plus I've seen video of him this year where he looks like he's lethargic and playing touch football. What a waste of talent.
I'd do it if the money can work out. Collins is a terrific athlete who would have a new DC to work with. If there's any bad blood with Patricia, that's not an issue.
DBs are not the Pats biggest need despite some awful plays. LBs who can cover and possibly DEs who can generate some pressure on QBsPatrick Peterson anyone? He’s better than Cooks. We gave up a first for Cooks. We’d have Peterson for 2 1/2 years.
It would be very hard to work it out for any year, especially with having paid Gilmore. There’s also the fact that McCourty is scheduled to have a 13.5m dollar hit too, next season.I’d take the Pat Pete trade in a heartbeat with what he could offer us. Would be two legit shutdown corners. Issue is the cap and I have no idea how we’d work that out this year
The Pats didn’t keep him through his cheap rookie deal where he was making 500k in his final year. I highly doubt that they suddenly want him now for 12m, or about 24x the cost. As a matter of fact, I think it’s safe to say that we may as well put our time to better use by focusing on the Larry Fitzgeralds and Calvin Johnsons of the world.It's the Cleveland Browns.
Seriously though, I think this hypothetical trade makes no sense for the Patriots. I don't think Collins is done from a physical standpoint but mentally I don't think he has it anymore.
