This is why the Patriots won't trade Jimmy G in 2017

All things being equal, wouldn't most Teams double or triple team Watt so he can't control the line of scrimmage and dominate in a "big game"? BB would try to take him out of the game?
So in chess you might sacrifice your "Watt" to save your knight, which is the "free" single players for the win.

Vollmer and Cannon handled Watt mostly by themselves the last few times. If you take away his sack numbers against the bottom feeders then he suddenly doesn't look like historic player but merely a great-good player. Obviously you can't do that but my point is that better teams apparently need to allocate less resources to him. So those double and triple teams are a bit overstated.

He is a great player but the pricetag combined with his back injury history is definitely a bit too hot for my taste.

Another season of "seasoning" will allow a better measure of Brisetts progress. The Pats cant find as good or as cheap an insurance policy as Polo is in the 2017 season. The going price for a playable backp QB seems to be about $10 million a year...

right. Making a move for its own sake is the move that would make the news and excite fans but is prob the wrong move in the big picture
