I figured it was only a matter of time. Now the question is for how much? Clowney, Watt and a 1st does it for me.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Wow, what a shocker (sarcasm)

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

LOL I guess Aiken can come back in the building now

 

[patsinthesnow]

Congrats Jimmy G.

When BB finds out there's no such thing as a conditional 8th round pick he's gonna be wicked pissed!

No way are they trading him, no way.

Oh wait.

@jeffphowe: The Patriots had trade discussions with the Texans, Cowboys and Bills, per source.

The return might not be too bad.

 

[moosekill]

Im hoping 4th rounder

 

[Love The Drake]

I Have a feeling Andre or CJ isn't part of the deal

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Pats had discussions with cowboys, bills, and texans for mallett

 

[102 Pat]

I wonder if it's Johnson in return?

 

[Love The Drake]

Brooks Reed?
I would be so Happy

BB has been playing chicken with the Texans over Mallett all summer. First by drafting Garoppolo when it was believed the Texans would take him with their next pick (not saying that's the only reason BB took Garoppolo) and then by not cutting Mallett when the Texans had first dibs on the waiver wire.

That's the way - play them off against each other, drive the price up. "Mallett's too valuable to us to trade from just a (fill in the blank)". If there really were multiple suitors with any interest, BB must have been in heaven.
