NFL Discussion v37: Offseason Edition

Unless it's really tantalizing, there's no point on NE's side. Keep him for the season and lose him to FA. Biggest priority now is signing Hightower.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

This is such a stacked TE class that I hope they didn't overpay for him

Didn't you know they overpay Super Bowl champions?

Yup and they can still franchise him next year, although I think the tag will be reserved for Jimmy G.

That Pats LB core is trash if they don't bring back Hightower. He does already have 2 rings and supposedly hates the cold weather (skipped both parades due to it), but now that the Pats have stacked the deck I think it would be hard for him to walk away unless the Pats are far off from his asking price.

He loves winning, though.

New England has done well drafting linebackers for the last decade. They'll retool the position pretty quickly, but he's still the leader of that defense and a great player.

Cooks, Gronk, Edelman, Hogan, Mitchell, Dion Lewis, James White. Plus two shutdown corners.

WTF?

All Pats fans are getting banned.

Hearing the deal that Martellus Bennett got from the Packers – three years, $18.45 million – is actually less than what Jared Cook and the Packers were close to agreeing to.

Lol I guess that works

 

[Easy The Great]

Atleast Cooks is leaving the NFC South

This is vert unBelichick to do these trades. My feeling is this is the start to the end of his time as a coach; he's getting ready for a couple last runs with Brady then giving a dumpster fire to the next guy.

So you think hes trading Jimmy then?

You really think he'll just retire and not work front office for a few years after coaching? And, what's the long term cost of the moves he's made here? Looks like they're down a couple picks on 2017 in exchange for established players.

 

[Cantalope]

Pats get Ealy and Cooks. So much for anybody else winning the super bowl.

 

[Final Rehab]

Ealy is a major flake but fuck NO for sending Cooks to NE.

Well, I had fun.

Called that shit. Bennett knows what's up.

Lmao he wants 9 mil/year, which is not going to happen with the Raiders. He's worth more like 6-7 million. The Jaguars will likely be happy to pay him that kind of money. That or he'll come to his senses and sign with a contender with realistic monetary expectations.

A bit more but still not bad for that talent

Ha! Glad to put that bullshit to sleep:
