Nevermind, I’m an idiot and can’t read... didn’t realize 2020 bonus wouldn’t be accelerated.This is incorrect per Miguel.

Or that teams have no interest in helping the Patriots, at their current price. How long do you think he'd be unsigned if released?Sounds like Bedard is implying that Bennett is not exactly drawing a lot of interest around the league.
Is Bedard really all that plugged into trade talks these days?Sounds like Bedard is implying that Bennett is not exactly drawing a lot of interest around the league.
With his new job, I'm sure he's plugged in moreso than he was when he was just doing BSJ.Is Bedard really all that plugged into trade talks these days?

Not sure if true. A contender could always take a chance on the vet. As you've mentioned above, Bennett has been efficient on limited snaps. I don't think we've seen the best out of him yet.Sounds like Bedard is implying that Bennett is not exactly drawing a lot of interest around the league.

Can we add a pick and get Hooper as well? We should have the cap space for both moving Bennett.Reiss suggested a Michael Bennett-for-Mohammed Sanu trade in his notes column this morning.
That's what I'd call an early Christmas present. Still not sure if Falcons would trade Hooper but he'd be a terrific upgrade over Izzo/LaCosse.Can we add a pick and get Hooper as well? We should have the cap space for both moving Bennett.
I realize that in football we don't generally see the deadline trades that we do in baseball, but with the slightly later deadline this year that's exactly the type of move they should be making. Falcons should basically be in tank mode at 1-4, and perhaps if they can find a way to lose to the Cardinals today they'll come into the full realization. Hooper is a Free Agent after this season, so they don't get a lot by holding onto him for the year just to maybe pick up an extra win vs future assets.That's what I'd call an early Christmas present.

Well wouldn't they likely get a 3rd round pick for him should someone else sign him in free agency? If I'm wrong, disregard. If I'm right, then they'd have to get back a better return than that in order to make it worth it.I realize that in football we don't generally see the deadline trades that we do in baseball, but with the slightly later deadline this year that's exactly the type of move they should be making.

I’m not sure why you would say that. I’m assuming Miguel’s number is a net change (savings from trading Bennet; additional for acquisition of Sanu). That’s a lower number than most of the other wideouts being discussed.Pass on that then
Agreed. The strength of this team is defense. I’m not weakening a strength unless Bennett forces the issue. Albeit unproven, Harry is a reasonable proxy for Sanu.I’d rather have Bennett in the rotation than Sanu. I’d only do that if Bennett was going to be gone anyway
Well, that's the thing isn't it? If BB moves him for a WR then that decision was clearly made about what's more important?I’d rather have Bennett in the rotation than Sanu. I’d only do that if Bennett was going to be gone anyway
Most of the time, if the Pats make a move it's for someone off the radar.Between Diggs having a massive day in a back-on-track win for the Vikes, Austin Hooper coming up big for the Falcons and Emmanuel Sanders leaving the game with a knee injury, today was not so great for the Patriots prospects trade-wise. All in for AJ Green? The next few days should be interesting.
Devante Parker intrigues me a little bit. Has been moderately productive in a terrible situation.Most of the time, if the Pats make a move it's for someone off the radar.
Makes a lot of sense. Browns OL has been terrible.
Best CB in the game huh?View: https://twitter.com/adamschefter/status/1184254646489174016?s=21
Schefter seems to have forgotten the existence of one Stephon Gilmore.
Not only is one of those guys Goff, but another is a RB that can't stay on the field and another is a WR that is good but not elite.It’ll be interesting to see how the Rams manage their cap going forward. They’re trending toward the old Colts model of paying top dollar for a group of players.
That can work if you pay the right guys at the right positions and draft and develop well elsewhere. Problem is one of those guys is Goff.
It’s tough to give up those picks, as you’re looking at two plus cost controlled starters (and perhaps more if you trade back effectively), but Ramsey is a top 10-15 player on the league.
Good call out on Cooks. Gurley we all know about, but I forgot just how big the Cooks deal was.Not only is one of those guys Goff, but another is a RB that can't stay on the field and another is a WR that is good but not elite.
I just realized that, barring another trade to acquire a first down the line, they will go from 2017 thru 2021 without making a first round pick. That's insane. Is there any precedent of another team not picking in the first round for five years in a row?Good call out on Cooks. Gurley we all know about, but I forgot just how big the Cooks deal was.
They’ve got Fowler and Brockers up after this season, and Kupp is up after next season.
I don’t know how they’re gonna play this if the goal is to have a 5 year plus window as a contender.
Seattle?I just realized that, barring another trade to acquire a first down the line, they will go from 2017 thru 2021 without making a first round pick. That's insane. Is there any precedent of another team not picking in the first round for five years in a row?
Close. They went three straight years without a first and four of five without a first. But in two of those years they just traded out of the back end of the first and into the early second. The Rams will have done that only once.Seattle?
