Ben Allbright is saying that LAC is the team that offered the 2nd, FWIW. They have pick 60, so Pats can trump it with 56 (presumably).Patriots are very interested in Josh Rosen.
Maybe if Atlanta drafts a tight end high. But they have nothing behind Hooper on the depth chart, so I don't know why they'd want to get rid of him.I haven't seen Austin Hooper's name mentioned at all. He could make a lot of sense for the Pats in a trade if they don't see any sure things in the draft. This year will be the last year of Hooper's rookie deal.
I'd rather take Sanu.I haven't seen Austin Hooper's name mentioned at all. He could make a lot of sense for the Pats in a trade if they don't see any sure things in the draft. This year will be the last year of Hooper's rookie deal.
He certainly seems more likely to be available.I'd rather take Sanu.
BB also traded Drew Bledsoe within the division.I'd guess that being in the AFC is an advantage for LAC and NE much like the NFC seemed a preference IIRC for BB in the Jimmy G. trade. The Cards may feel differently, but I haven't read anything on that yet.
If they were worried about being in the same conference as Josh Rosen, they wouldn't be dumping him during his rookie deal to draft another QB.True, but I think he thought he could handle Bledsoe (and he did for the most part). He seems to have liked Jimmy a lot and might have wanted to avoid regularly running into his skillset. Or he just thought SF would be a good fit and wanted to do Jimmy a solid. Or some of both. BB's confident in his abilities and assessments. I'm not sure if the Cards' coach and GM have that same confidence and it may influence their decision making.
Deep at running back can also mean crowded. But Johnson has a solution to help himself get more touches.
“I want to be a slot receiver,” he said via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “I’d rather be a slot receiver than a running back, 100 percent.”
It’s something he has done for Cleveland already in his first three seasons. In fact, he was the Browns’ starting slot receiver in the season opener last year and played the entire game there. Johnson led the Browns with 74 receptions last season and has hauled in 188 in three years.
Johnson elaborated on his statement.
“It’s fun for me, if I’m being honest. Running back is OK. It’s getting fun because they’re allowing things that make it fun for me. But, if I had to go out there and be strictly a running back, no pass catching, no creativity, then that would suck.”
Seems redundant with White, no?Would the pats try and trade for Duke Johnson? He would Be useful as a pass catcher.
(He has asked for a trade)
I think they could use a guy like Johnson all over the field. Put him and White in the backfield at the same time, go wild. Seems like the type of player who would thrive in the Patriots' offense.Seems redundant with White, no?
Seems like any brown traded to the patriots does well. At least in recent memory.Hmm, slot receiver would be interesting if we thought he could be effective in a full-time role their. Always felt that Cleveland didn’t utilize him enough.
That probably includes some bonus $ right?Duke Johnson has a 3M cap hit. Seems like a lot for either the third RB or second slot receiver.
No, because their teams are dumber.Do you think on other message boards, people are suggesting their team trade for Julian Edelman, Joe Thuney, Devin McCourty, and/or Kyle Van Noy because they're on the last years of their contracts with us?
To be fair, this is a thread about potential trade targets. Also, the Seahawks only have four picks in the upcoming draft. They also have about $12 in cap space (top 51) and a quarterback who wants a new contract.Do you think on other message boards, people are suggesting their team trade for Julian Edelman, Joe Thuney, Devin McCourty, and/or Kyle Van Noy because they're on the last years of their contracts with us?
And Nick Vannett is nowhere near the caliber player that those guys mentioned are.To be fair, this is a thread about potential trade targets. Also, the Seahawks only have four picks in the upcoming draft. They also have about $12 in cap space (top 51) and a quarterback who wants a new contract.
I just got off of a plane and Larry Fitzgerald was at the Hertz counter renting a car!No, because their teams are dumber.
I didn't say their fans were dumber (even though they are too)I just got off of a plane and Larry Fitzgerald was at the Hertz counter renting a car!
To who?I just got off of a plane and Larry Fitzgerald was at the Hertz counter renting a car!
It takes two to deal, and Arizona is likely to kick this to the eve of the draft and rightly so.I have not understood the Rosen appeal since day one. In Bill we trust if they acquire him but it should say everything that they have as much draft ammunition as they do and haven't pulled the trigger.
