Agreed. I prefer receivers that can actually catch the ball with some consistency.I do not want DT on the Pats, so fine by me.
Yup. It's Tate or Sanders for me. Offense would be absolutely lethal with one of them replacing Hogan.I do not want DT on the Pats, so fine by me.
confirmedPer Schefter, Golden Tate going to Philly for a 3rd round pick.
8 games of Tate for a 3rd is a bit steep... Not too bothered.Per Schefter, Golden Tate going to Philly for a 3rd round pick.
As a Philly fan, I hate it. Which means he'll probably lead them to the promised land.8 games of Tate for a 3rd is a bit steep... Not too bothered.
Eh. How often do 3rd round picks pan out relative to the marginal benefit that Tate gets you to or wins the Super Bowl? I tend to think teams dramatically overrate draft picks.8 games of Tate for a 3rd is a bit steep... Not too bothered.
If he was that unhappy it's hard to believe that Gordon would be playing almost every snap while Dorsett is stapled to the bench. Or that any team would want Gordon if they knew the Pats were already ready to move him.Would the Patriots consider trading Josh Gordon in a trade for another WR if Belichick is actually unhappy with his tardiness?

This is silly. Money doesn't work, ODB is a bad fit and the cost will be steep.Per NFL Network everyone on NYG is available except Barkley.
ODB! ODB!
There’s no way they can trade OBJ, his dead cap hit would be 40M.Per NFL Network everyone on NYG is available except Barkley.
ODB! ODB!
And they already have $20M of dead cap money on the books at the QB positionThere’s no way they can trade OBJ, his dead cap hit would be 40M.
For a 2020 7th round pick.Ty Montgomery to Ravens. Worse punishment than simply benching him.
7th rounder in 2020. His stock has droppedTy Montgomery to Ravens. Worse punishment than simply benching him.
A nit, because it's of no practical consequence. But the Giants would have to absorb an additional $16M hit to their cap, which is the remainder of his signing bonus (in addition to the $4M hit they already take this year). The receiving team gets to be on the hook for the remainder of ODB's $20M of guaranteed salary.There’s no way they can trade OBJ, his dead cap hit would be 40M.
You know I was joking right?This is silly. Money doesn't work, ODB is a bad fit and the cost will be steep.
I'm pretty sure the Brady for Eli follow-up indicated thatYou know I was joking right?
Win-win. Brady would get re-united with Solder, and we'd finally get to see what Brady could do with a real running game.This is silly. Money doesn't work, ODB is a bad fit and the cost will be steep.
The obvious trade is Eli for Brady and a second round pick. Pats get younger at QB with a guy who can win big games and the Giants get a fading star to put butts in seats for the rest of the season.
What does this mean and who is it making fun of?Bill Polian makes John Henry look like Richard Simmons
How dare you give up on the Cordarrelle Patterson experiment so soon.Win-win. Brady would get re-united with Solder, and we'd finally get to see what Brady could do with a real running game.
7 minutes until the dream for Fitz dies forever
Belichick on @OMFonWEEI says he does not expect Patriots to make any moves at trade deadline. Deadline is 4 p.m.
That's obviously code for they are dealing for Le'Veon Bell

Once we lost Mallett, the chances were done7 minutes until the dream for Fitz dies forever
He may have been mocking me!!!I'm pretty sure the Brady for Eli follow-up indicated that
Folks started replying with the dead money numbers, so clearly there was confusion.
So, uh, yeahWill anyone here be surprised four hours from now (it's 4pm EST, right?) when the deadline comes and goes and we don't get anyone at all, much less a "premium wide receiver"? I'd be more surprised if any of these actually *did* happen.
Certainly hope so. Sounds like they had legit interest in Demaryius and Tate but weren't going to go nuts. Don't really care about Demaryius but Tate would have been awesome in this offense.So, uh, yeah
I do wonder if we were in on Golden Tate until he went to the Eagles tho.
They could have traded a 3rd for Tate and got a comp 3rd back if Tate left.Certainly hope so. Sounds like they had legit interest in Demaryius and Tate but weren't going to go nuts. Don't really care about Demaryius but Tate would have been awesome in this offense.
I remain a little surprised that a single defensive piece wasn't added. Would be interesting to know who exactly was made available.
That was a smart trade. Eagles are well run.They could have traded a 3rd for Tate and got a comp 3rd back if Tate left.
do you really think he is going to sign a deal big enough to get them a third-round comp pick? Given his age I find this hard to believe.They could have traded a 3rd for Tate and got a comp 3rd back if Tate left.
He is 2 years younger than Jules and has lost 4 games to injury through an 8.5 yr NFL career. And he is productive.do you really think he is going to sign a deal big enough to get them a third-round comp pick? Given his age I find this hard to believe.
