Only if you can get value in return...the return has to be enticing enough (ie I would be cool with two 2nd round picks, or a bottom 1st rounder if we can get it). Only foundational pieces, like Josh and Tre, are off limits...everyone else should be fair game...TE has not earned the title of foundational player to me....and if memory serves, we spent a 1st and 3rd rounder on him- so it would be wise to try and recoup some of that, if possible (if we are not planning on resigning him), so that it’s not a total waste...just my opinion.

Excellent points! 👍

I wasn’t bashing Edmunds in that particular post...I simply suggested that if they knew Edmunds was going to be out of the their price range, they should seriously consider getting value for him while they still can- which is a perfectly reasonable suggestion... And it’s no secret that Belichick has been trading away top talent for years when he wasn’t willing to pay...just the nature of the business... I understand that sometimes conditions aren’t ideal for players (ie Sam Darnold). Sometimes that’s the way the cookie crumbles...time rolls on...However, the argument about Edmunds being 22 seems like a lazy one to me...the other side of the argument is: What 22 year old player do you know that has 3 years NFL experience?

And Brady always seems to start the season off slow...

Well, that’s a racist thing to say...how dare you infringe on my right to commit crimes...soldiers died for my right to decide, whether or not, I choose to comply with the law...and anyone who disagrees with my criminal activity is straight up raaaaaasaaacist! 😉

Collins starting to let himself go?

I am 100% against sacrificing capital to trade up...9 times out of 10 the player never lives up to the cost...and the FO has not proven they can be trusted, when picking defensive talent, on a consistent enough basis to take that chance...this team will need its picks for the future...

Then they would be wise to trade him during the draft so they could get something for him...that’s what Belichick would do, if he knew he wasn’t going to resign a guy...let’s see if Beane has the same fortitude...

So tired of talking about this guy...he’s so uninspiring 😂😂😎

I could actually believe this...I remember he always seemed more moderate on CNN’s Crossfire back in the day...

As long as it’s BPA I’m good 👍

What a great parody...I could almost envision a hilarious Jeopardy sketch on SNL...😂😂

Didn’t they already do this? They got two 1st rounders from San Fran by trading back to 12...then they gave one back to Philly by trading up to 6...now they want to trade back again? They are either severely overthinking things or they are geniuses...Lol

Lol...I like this take...I agree that modern journalism has become giving opinion on news stories of the day, instead of just reporting the news... Don Lemon use to be more respectable to me...however, his awkward emotional outbursts, at times, comes off as disingenuous, imo...not to mention, I’ve literally, heard him saying things 10 years ago that contradict his woke views now...just seems phony...

He does have a lot of good takes, saying things that most people are too afraid to say...it’s refreshing...

On the surface it seems like a distraction so he doesn’t have to give his feelings on Water’s comments- which, some could argue, is indirectly conceding that her quote can’t be defended... Ultimately, it’s quite unfortunate because, regardless of political leanings, it seems like such an easy thing to denounce- unless you are for the rioting, of course...

Not sure...haven’t really been following closely...but I think he’d likely be convicted for something based on the visibility of the case...

Well, forgive me...The thread is about racism, and my response was about “systemic” racism, so I just assumed it was was self evident in my post what I was referring to...apparently not...

Well, the conversation was about racism...and there are gays and transgenders of every race...

Everyone get ready for middle class white, suburban socialists and anarchists to ride into urban cities and burn down black communities, while spray painting BLM on everything they see...

Great post...I agree... I just remember growing up, there weren’t all these adjectives in front of the word “racism” to qualify it as such...you either thought certain races were superior/inferior or you just judged people on an individual level... I think those who like to use the word “systemic” do so because it justifies them wanting to change the system...However, when you pin those people down on specific instances of “systemic” racism, they are either describing something from the 1950s (that no longer exists) or they are describing discrimination on an individual level imo (ie a person gets pulled over for having flashy rims or blasting rap music)... But nowhere do I see law or policy within the “system” that discriminates against certain groups of people, except for Affirmative Action policies, which, legally, discriminate against white and Asian people, and privileges black and brown people...

Well, I agree with you that environment contributes to culture. But I also believe that, within that environment, people make choices, everyday, as to whether they are going to act in positive ways or negative ways... As human beings, regardless of race, gender, or our circumstances in life, we are all going to be tested, emotionally, with unfortunate and frustrating situations...it’s up to all of us to overcome those moments of anger, fear, frustration, and rage, by not giving in, and preserving on... BLM can use their platform to bring awareness to inner city violence, through marches and protests, cookout block parties with police, etc...So many are fed a narrative that police hate black people and want them dead...I feel these get-togethers would be a good way to show that most police are looking out for them, and want to work with them... BLM can show solidarity with inner city communities and the police that are trying their best to mitigate gang violence...teach young people how to comply with law enforcement so that they don’t put their lives in danger when pulled over... I watch body cam videos of countless pull overs and 9 times out of 10 I see everything going smoothly until someone decides they are not going to comply or they resist arrest for an outstanding warrant...it is so sad...a person’s life could be saved if only they had complied...But I just feel they are fed a lie that cops just want to kill them all day long...and the statistics and video just don’t concur with that narrative...I feel it just further makes them fear law enforcement.... I just wish BLM actually cared about black lives...Because if they did, I would support them...Unfortunately I fear they are making it worse by making excuses for criminal behavior... If the community banded together, instilling responsibility and accountability, I have no doubt they could overcome the black on black violence...

Agreed, but that’s why they make millions and I don’t...

Who? wasted pick...dude is Nate Peterman 2.0

AJ got a lot faster once he lost the weight, and he started coming on in the last few games...curious to see his growth this season...I still think he has good potential...👍
