THE official Patriots trade deadline thread.

Good, didn't want him here!

Not a fan of his cap hit for the rest of his contract relative to what he brings to the table. So yeah happy if he moves somewhere else.

Sources: The #Texans are closing in on a deal for #Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas in exchange for a mid-round pick. They are finalizing. It’s Courtland Sutton’s time.

My understanding is the #Broncos held firm on a 4th round pick, though that may not be the end of the compensation. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…

Wait, WHAT!? The way Hightower was playing early on in the season, I'd 100% have gone for this. Even now it might be a good move. But High has been playing pretty well lately. This would be a bombshell.

Isn’t Tate a free agent after this year?

Not buying it.

Also, OT, but of regional interest:

Whitey Bulger was killed in prison

short of a LT becoming available I don't think we will see any major moves by the patriots.

dorsett to the browns for jamie collins is my shocker of the year.

Why in the blue **** would the Patriots trade for a left tackle? Brown is balling.

He was just moved to that prison a few days ago.

If there's any truth to the Hightower rumor could Bentley be close be close to returning off of the DL
I don't live anywhere close to the area so I don't know much about his injury

Bentley's torn biceps is believed to be season-ending. It's the same injury that Nate Solder had a few years ago.

 

[TommyD4207]

They did trade Deion Branch.

He still threw to the open guy back in those days.

I wouldn't have wanted DT anyhow. Golden Tate would be preferred if we are in fact seeking a receiver.

"Balling" is kind of a stretch but he's no worse than the previous #77. We might not be able to afford him going forward, however.

Also, an upgrade at LT is a potential upgrade at RT since Brown can play both sides and Cannon is barely ever available.

i dunno man with cannon being laid up, and waddle being a part time disaster, if we lost brown the offensive line would be 100% toast.

You can never have too many tackles.

 

[Joey007]

Thank the Lord.

Didn’t want Thomas.

 

[dannydyn]

Good, bring on OBJ.

 

[Soliel]

Good, bring on OBJ.

He wants 20 million per

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

He was just moved to that prison a few days ago.

yeah but he violated Ian's code of Conduct and see what happened

Why the heck would the Giants trade Odell Beckham Jr? Why would another team want to inherit that contract with all the risk involved if he doesn't fit into their system? Based on the timing of the contract he signed, he might be the most untradeable non-QB in the league.

 

[Joey007]

There's a better chance they trade Brady than one of the the best CBs in the league.

I meant Gilmore was the best player on our defense

There is no risk for a team acquiring him other than Draft picks.

All the money guaranteed in OBJs contract is on the Giants.

If the deal gets completed, this is a potentially great move for Houston. Thomas would have been a great fit in New England. He should be a great fit in Houston, playing on the other side of Hopkins.

And, assuming they keep him next year, the Texans will have

Hopkins
Thomas
Fuller

catching passes from Watson.
