Im not against it and its a very Patriot like move if it happens.
Butler has been playing ok, but nothing spectacular. The NE secondary is still giving up big passing plays. How much worse can they be with Butler gone? We have seen players traded regardless of who they are when contract discussions are at an impasse.
Lots of reasons for the Fitz trade.
1. Mitchell gone for the year.
2 Dorsett is cashing a paycheck. I still hate that trade and believe that the Colts saw BB coming. Not against trading Brisset, but dont like giving him away for nothing.
3 Dwayne Allen ihas been a disappointment and useless..
4 The Pats had big plans for Burkhead and who knows if that will ever pan out.
5 Gronk doesnt seem like Gronk. He is ranked #1, but still seems like he is playiig in pain sometimes.
6 Brady is on pace to be sacked the most ever. The loss of Edelman still stings because he got open so quick. Fitz and Cooks outside would have to help when teams rush 3 and bracket the NE WRs making Brady hold the ball.
7 Cooks is catching at a 54% completion rate. Fitzgrerald at 63% which is low for him. Pats 2 seasons he has been in 75% range.
