Patriots trade Hollister to the Seahawks

For a conditional 2020 7th round draft pick, Per WEEI

 

[Deus Irae]

The Patriots have traded TE Jacob Hollister to the Seahawks for a conditional 2020 7th round pick, per source.

Apparently, we've got TE depth to burn...

From two Hollisters to none.

 

[jah]

I had him off my first 53 projection of the year after the draft, so if the Pats felt the same way, good to get something in return.

Hollister & JC Jackson were by far the two lesser known players that stood out to me in TC last year.

I need to stop falling for the camp TE (Sudfeld, Derby & now Hollister).

Things that make you go Hmmmmm...

FA part 2 starting - its where BB does his best work.

Liked Jacob - had a promising start of TC with Tom - just couldn't find his way on the field.

And: this team has enough TE youth - it needs a real TE vet . now even more probable for #1 TE still coming in..

Could this mean something is about to happen with the Pats trading for a TE

You gotta give Belichick credit for taking people scratching their heads and going even further in the direction no one expected.

Also forgot, UDFA Ryan Beck and German Football League signee Jakob Johnson.

so Hollister was the difference maker?

 

[fnordcircle]

Nobody:

Belichick: Let's trade players away but only from our weakest position.

But seriously I suspect this is indicative of something they will want to do differently with the offense from the TE position that Hollister can't do.

I am hoping so.

Patfans: WE NEED MORE TEs!
Bill: raises eyebrow

As much as I like the idea of Zigging when the rest of the league Zags, it's hard to say that getting a good TE isn't helpful.
