THE official Patriots trade deadline thread.

[Kontradiction]

I'd be extremely shocked.

I don’t think shocked is the right word.

I’d be disgusted.

 

[PatsFan2]

Wouldn't mind shedding Hightower and that young contract he currently have. We have proven we can win without him on D. Plus he'd be some other Teams problem with all his injuries.

I don’t think shocked is the right word.

I’d be disgusted.

Don't worry it's not happening.

 

[Joey007]

Fixed for more clarity.

I’d still go with Gilmore. Devin as well if they start playing him back at his comfortable role.

 

[Froob]

What ways do we have to clear up cap for trades?

 

[Froob]

Don't worry it's not happening.

It’d be like when Perk was traded, except Edelman can still play.

 

[PatsFan2]

Cory Ivory another possibility from the Bills Big Runner who can also catch. I am all in for a bruising RB.

 

[JMC00]

What ways do we have to clear up cap for trades?

Restructure D.McCourty's base salary into a bonus like they did Gilmore? Think I saw that could free up $3m

Positions the Patriots will likely concentrate on, in no particular order:

• RB
• TE
• WR*
• DT
• LB
• CB
• S

WR gets an asterisk because it's not a need right now, but moves from this team to another team at the deadline may make the position become a need.

 

[Bradyking12]

Not expecting anything, if anything probably something small.

Have we? Because I remember him making game saving plays in two different Super Bowls but last year when he wasn’t in, we lost.

 

[Tony2046]

If they’re targeting a wideout, would anyone be surprised at Edelman being offered as trade bait? Just asking that makes me sad.

Considering how much Brady relies on him and the differences between the offensive output pre and post Edelman's return I'd be shocked.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

If you are wondering who on the Pats have the most tradable contracts they are:


Dwayne Allen: Cap Savings $1,937,500 Dead Money $0
Chris Hogan: Cap Savings $1,640,625 Dead Money $0
Cordarrelle Patterson: Cap Savings $1,625,000 Dead Money $0
Danny Shelton: Cap Savings $1015,477 Dead Money $0
Brian Hoyer: Cap Savings $457,500 Dead Money $0
Geno Grissom: Cap Savings $360,000 Dead Money $0

I left off Trent Brown because he is not going anywhere.

Sounds like what my girlfriend told me before our first “big reveal.”

 

[Kontradiction]

Volin with a moment of clarity...

 

[slash83]

I’d laugh my ass off if they pull a trade for OBJ

 

[Keyser Söze]

Cooper getting a 1st is screwing up the value all across the league.

 

[Soliel]

I’d laugh my ass off if they pull a trade for OBJ

I hate that guy. He’s great but a moron

 

[Kontradiction]

I wouldn't.

 

[Soliel]

I wouldn't.

Me either, the idea is nauseating
