Pats trade deadline thread

[farn]

The trade everyone was waiting for!

Oof. My fellow francophone Canadian : takes a year to help out with the pandemic - is « rewarded » by going to the NYJ ?! Oof Oof.

It's harsh, but LDT wouldn't have made the Chiefs' roster except for his guaranteed salary. That's a salary dump.

Here is the thing.....

I don't think the NEP will be buyers in next year's FA market which means any players whos contract expire will be comp-pick eligible.

The only players I see as possibly fetching us picks are High, DMC and JC.

Lots of unknowns but if BB thinks this team has a shot at making it out of the AFC, they need a better than average boundary CB to help deal with Allen, Mahomes, etc.

Mahomes isn’t very scary at the moment. Last night he barely won a shootout with Dan Jones and his Giants.

Works out well, because if you're gonna dump something, dump it into the swamps of Jersey.

Their running game scares no one.

Mahomes is forcing passes into a lot of Cover 2.

Hill averaging 11ypc is pathetic.

Saw this - Report: Patriots targeting this position at NFL trade deadline

From Bedard:

"According to league sources who are familiar with what the Patriots are looking for at the trade deadline, New England is trying to land a combination (run/pass) defensive end."

Bedard didn't list any names, but noted the Patriots are seeking a quality pass rusher who also can defend the run.

Salary cap implications aside, Trey Flowers would be the perfect trade to fill this description.

With the rumblings about players being released if their teams couldn't trade them, (Flowers, DeSean Jackson, etc) I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats were watching the transaction wire to reach out immediately.

Next level stuff. Maybe they even borrowed someone’s dial-up internet service to check for updates.

Can teams begin negotiating immediately or do they wave to wait until the player clears waivers?

Vested veterans (more than 4 years accrual time) who are released don’t go through waivers

Interesting. That story on DeSean says he has to clear waivers to become a free agent. Did they get it wrong or are there different variants?

PFT says that since he was cut after trade deadline, he is subject to waivers. /shrug

Hey, I could be wrong but I don’t think he has to clear waivers.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Hey, I could be wrong but I don’t think he has to clear waivers.

once the trade deadline passes, all players need to clear waivers.

remember in 2010 when the Pats traded Moss, and then the Vikings cut him 6 weeks later? He wound up in Tennessee because he was claimed off waivers.

I think you’re right.

 

[scott99]

Yep he did.

Pooped his diaper at the Vatican too.

You’re a sad man, a poor excuse for a human.

Let’s see this proof of him cheating and him pooping his diaper at the Vatican, or are you too busy waiting for JFK in Dallas ?

I think you’re right.

So, we have agreement?

 

[goheels22002]

He’s unreliable. Hasn’t he been injured every year in NE?

Burkhead had great games against KC in the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl in 20219.
