Player Signing Report: Patriots Acquire DeVante Parker from Dolphins

[NG Pats Fan]

Wow!! He’s actually good. Finally a capable WR!

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Very curious he mentions Kraft. That's weird, what did he do?

Very nice that Parker wanted the trade.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Pretty sure that’s a fake source, but we’ll see…

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Just not enough passes and plays available. Assuming they keep Agholor, your top 3 will be Parker, Bourne and Meyers, #4 would be Agholor. Where is there room for a rookie WR ?

Redshirted and then emerges in 2023 when he knows the playbook and both Agholor and Myers might be gone.

Play the best players. You don’t think an excellent WR could surpass those guys ? I am not nearly as down on the WRs as many other posters, but let’s keep it real. A rookie Randy Moss would play ahead of all those guys. (I’m not saying there is a Randy Moss in every draft…)

Parker-Bourne-Draft Pick-Meyers-Henry-Smith is a solid receiving corps

2023 3rd is like a 2022 4th in terms of relative value to teams. Good deal for both teams. Phins didn’t need Parker and cost is reasonable for the Pats.

I agree that the Pats seem likely to deal Agholor now. They need to open up cap space, unless they have already agreed to an extension with Parker, to reduce his 2022 cap number.

If the goal is to move on from Agholor, I hope they already had something in place before the trade.

It’s certainly better than nothing, but a WR needs to be taken no later than day 2.

 

[venecol]

Interesting.

Why would the goal be to move on from Agholor? Now with a running mate like Parker, Nelson is gonna have a big year. He's a talented guy with speed and hands, he was just carrying too big a burden last year. Mac also missed seeing him open deep a number of times last year, so they'll get on the same page this year.

Parker is unstoppable when he gets going. Gilmore is an above average CB who couldn't man up on this guy at all.

 

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

This years draft is stacked in mid round talent too. That 5th rounder this year can be like a 3/4rd pick next year if used properly.

 

[Huckleberry1]

We will need to free up cap room for this trade, plus more for anyone else. And then we need to free up over $10M for various expenses after the draft.

They are always prepared for these kinds of moves, I’m sure they have it all figured out.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

This trade changes everything. We are now truly competitive at WR, and for this season we actually get an extra pick as well. Slam dunk. I'm shocked Miami would let us get stronger - this will really improve our offense.

Let's move Harry for a 6th, or for a move-up, or maybe a player trade.

 

[TheRainMaker]

LOl where are the Bill haters?

Why even bring this up? Not only has he not done anything for the Pats, many Team Bill posters didn’t see the need to improve the group. But now that he makes a move, he’s a genius!

It was a reply to another’s comment earlier in the thread when discussing cap ramifications and his hit coupled with Agholors hit and how it might signal that the team has to make a trade to fit Parker under the cap.

 

[Toofy]

I hope we trade the compensatory pick and not our original pick provided we are able to word it that way.

 

[captain insano]

The more I think about this trade. The more I don't like it. They gave up too much for a player that's constantly injured. I think pats fans are so desperate for a wide out. And the lack of free agent moves have people overly excited about this move.

While I agree with you (no need for the post), maybe he recognizes that every time something the fans on here are against, the Bill Haters are on the doorstep.

I’m with @MAC10 : the Bill haters are everywhere (except this thread).

Everyone wanted to improve the WR corps...
