Patriot Trade Deadline Speculation
- Thread starter Saints Rest
- Start date
Might as well move Folk if a contender suddenly needs a kicker. Maybe swap a Pats sixth to move up to a contender's 5th? Probably even that is too much for a kicker.
Folk makes middle of the pack money at just $1.5m, has been incredibly consistent, and most likely will be back next year if asked:

With all the trouble the ST has right now, I am not sure if a reasonable value could be gained by trading him. With the Pats playing with such razor-thin margins, I am keeping Folk.
I am thinking depth-signing at OL, CB, and RB as the 3 priorities.
They probably could use the extra receiver, since Gunner will have to play slot corner soon.
Any argument that looks at what we did in 2019, when we had Brady as QB and were trying to still win a Super Bowl, can and should be discarded as being fatally flawed.
To bad Jason McCourty just went on IR for the Fins. He still could be a depth corner trade option for the Pats, however.
Have to think outside CB is the top priority. Mills can’t keep lining up there and getting crushed. I can’t see the Pats integrating a new, young WR like Aiyuk successfully mid-season.
Probably no chance Miami would deal Howard in the division.
Barnwell suggest the cost would be:

ESPN lists a Xavien Howard trade as a potential deadline move (yahoo.com)
I wonder how much the Panthers would require in a deal for Stephon Gilmore.
Sorry.
Way too obvious.
Yes, I'm bitter about this.
Winovich will get traded or released. 0 defensive snaps in a blowout. Not on the injury report.
Beyond that, I have no idea what the Patriots will do.

How does Barnwell think that they would have to attach what is a high second to Howard for a mid to late first?
I think Tenn does that every day of the week and Miami never does it.
I know people don't love Mays, but ESPN took the wrong writer from Grantland when they took Barnwell instead of Mays.
I’m bitter about it too. Assuming good health, SG would have made such a difference to this Defense. Really too bad they couldn’t work it out.
Want no part of him. He's basically a worse Agholor at this point, why have two of those guys on the field with the type of offense they run?
He has no place in the offense, doesn’t play special teams, and wants to be traded because he isn’t getting snaps/targets. Pats are a bad fit.
As someone who ended up with him in their fantasy team for like seven straight years, it seems like he has a big game each year against one of his former teams, and then spends the next 5-6 weeks in IR.
