Cousin, I agree. I think Hightower is a talented LB, but his talent and heart are negated by his ability to stay on the field.
The Defense needs to infuse more talent. We have not had a healthy Hightower most of last year and still won almost everything but unfortunately the last when we ran out of talent. Was he missed? Sure but he is not dependable. Perhaps Hightower gets us some capital to Draft or trade? Would Matt P reach out if he was available as the Lions need an LB and Hightower can help coach the new D on the field?
I think it is taboo here but McCourty is replaceable and Harmon can play his FS position. Laugh at this, but I think the much bigger Rowe can be moved to Safety.
Just for fun and to be a contrarian, McCourty and Hightower to the Lions for perhaps a first and third and the rights to Calvin Johnson who is Edelman and Amendola's age at 32.
I think you can get a very good healthy Zack Brown who was Pro Bwol the last two years and is fast and can cover. Now if Gronk retires, you opt for Eifert and sign Megatron for at last two to be your Red Zone threat.
Brady to Megatron? Like the Moss connection only with Edleman, Cooks and Amendola who do you let be one on one while double teaming Megatron?
Now you bring in some added picks as well.
Thoughts? Threats?

DW, I would drive McCourty to the airport if the Pats could unload him, but nobody is taking on that contract. He makes more money than Malcolm Jenkins, who clearly outplayed him in the SB.
Even cutting him doesn't make sense because of the cap hit.
