2019 Patriots: Trade Targets

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).
Giants are also interested. (37th overall which might be a slight overpay considering the other offers, but the Gmen do have #6 and #17 to take the sting out of no 2nd rounder).
Be just like Eli to Screw us again, but this time by sucking.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Would the pats try and trade for Duke Johnson? He would Be useful as a pass catcher.
(He has asked for a trade)
Edit: he said last year he would 100% rather be a slot receiver than a running back

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 like any brown traded to the patriots does well. At least in recent memory.
Duke Johnson has a 3M cap hit. Seems like a lot for either the third RB or second slot receiver.
That probably includes some bonus $ right?
Edit: at least $750K wouldn't count toward the acquiring team
On Pats Pulpit, Bernd Buchmasser is suggesting Nick Vannett, TE from Seattle as a potential trade target. He's on the last year of his 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?
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.
And Nick Vannett is nowhere near the caliber player that those guys mentioned are.
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.
If it’s handling this right, Ari should (1) try to max out the value on a Rosen trade (2) auction the # 1 pick (3) compare the two returns and see how much they like Murray > Rosen, assuming they do like Murray > Rosen.
BTW, I am not taking at face value the transparent Gettleman leak that the Giants may be fine with Eli for 2 more years. It’s lying season.
