Patriots Player Departure PATS TRADE JAMIE COLLINS!!!

[luuked]

********

91 is a beast.Are you telling me we couldn't get a third for him AFTER the season, even if we let him walk were getting a 4th in the compensation draft area.

So a THIRD from the browns? seriously?

We wouldnt have gotten **** for him after the season because he is a UFA. The compensatory pick would have been a year later. Just to provide some context.

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

Compensatory 3rd doesn't mean Compensation pick. Cleveland has multiple 3rd round picks. Compensatory 3rd means that the pick will be based on how Collins performs for them..

No compensatory means compensatory round pick, you're confusing it with conditional.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

A Browns 3rd is like a 2nd rounder.

It's (reportedly) the comp pick they got for Alex Mack. So it's not in this case.

 

[Guts]

The only thing I'll say is that they absolutely better re-sign both Hightower and Butler. No excuses.

I agree hopefully gives us some room to extend Marty B as well

 

[stelfans]

We all knew he wouldnt be resigned, and BB just got Van Noy. A 3rd just seems to low to me, but maybe may value perception is completely out of whack which is completely plausible.

 

[English Patriot]

At least get Haden or something, we have Butler locked in at corner and then nothing but 'meh'. Haden could have had that Revis impact.

 

[The Gr8est]

Thats all good. But doesnt explain the poor return. Thats just unacceptable.

Actually, that DOES explain the return.

 

[SVN]

we can't afford collins and hightower. but the seahawks can afford top dollar deals for wilson, kam. earl thomas, jimmy graham, sherman, wagner, etc...even the broncos have talib, harris, ware, von miller, etc all on big deals.

who's our cap guy?? only guys making big money are gronk and dmc.

Yup pats have sucked at building a SB winning team for only the last 15 odd yrs now...

 

[DaBruinz]

It seems that Collins' agent didn't do him any favors..

 

[The_Riddler]

Mr. Hightower, welcome to your new long term home.....

Only a 3rd was shocking, I had to read that 3 times.......

With Jamie Collins contract coming up, he was at one point asking for what one league source described as “Von Miller money." Von: 6-$114.5M

Their offensive line says hi. By the way the team has not gotten a stop in a big game since the year they won the superbowl.

 

[JayNM]

It's too little. a 3rd round pick for COLLINS is waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too little.

We got a 2nd round AND a former 1st round for Chandler Jones.

Bill has gone completely mad. This is unbelievable

 

[mosslost]

I really thought Collins was one of the reasons they felt OK about letting Chandler go. Maybe Bill is going to trade Jimmy there as well, get their number 1, and draft a Defensive Beast that will be cheaper for 4 years.

 

[Mack Herron]

If Collins had walked in free agency, the Patriots likely would have received a third-round compensatory selection for him regardless.

I think BB must have thought not as highly of Collins as we thought.

 

[Triumph]

Thanks

Jeez, Collins was a beast last season.

 

[Billsfanonapatsforum]

not a pats fan... 3rd party here... but collins was splitting time with roberts already. also BB advances the conditional a year ahead into what is believed to be a strong LB group. Collins doing a lot of freelancing on plays and the hood sent him to jail... he should be lucky he didn't goto prison (buffalo)

 

[TennisBallHead]

He better have killed somebody

 

[sambam94]

so cleveland gets him for 8 games? Why would they give up anything?

 

[reflexblue]

for a third rounder??????????? come on bill, at least get joe thomas in the deal.

mind boggling move. poor jamie, from the best team to the worst. so strange..

Agreed, they should have gotten clevelands third and joe thomas.
