lol changing the BB narrative to "fleecing the Steelers." Better change the thread title for continuity.
I suggest you go back and reread the report. The story was BB made the trade to screw over the Jets. He didn't screw them over. And if in fact that was part of his motivation then he badly misread the situation.
“They should have had to give up a [third-rounder] and not a four to move up there,” an anonymous NFL general manager told La Canfora. “Belichick did it just to **** the Jets. He sold low because he knew the Steelers were going to take the kid the Jets wanted to take. … I think the trade totally blindsided them. They were scrambling.”
Completely 100% WRONG. The Jets didn't want Jones there, they weren't blindsided (in fact they predicted the exact trade), and they weren't scrambling because they selected the top player on their board at their spot.
And apparently, BB even "sold low" for nothing. Sounds like the anonymous NFL GM would now say BB got made to look a fool. The author of the report is a bit red in the face now too.
