JoeF Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 They are baiting Beane..Trying to get him to overpay. It's a typical Pats ploy when they get worried that a division rival might be on the verge of a substantial improvement. However, the current regime isn't Rex and company; it's not Trader Tom or Marv as a GM, it's not Buddy or Doug or Russ. McBeane is patient and knows the Bills have all the assets they need to outbid anyone if it comes to that.

Cmdjr85 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 7 minutes ago, Heitz said: NFLN speculation is that the Pats trade their two firsts for ODB. But the Conspiracy Theory Network says the Pats are all in on screwing the Bills regardless of player picked. Hard to say, I guess... They are not gonna get OBJ. they cant afford the contract and money he wants. This is not even plausible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's a genius... 1 minute ago, DrDawkinstein said: If Giants trade #2 to us and OBJ to Pats, they could end up with picks #12, #22, #23, #31, #34, #53, #56, #65, #66, and #96 in first 3 rounds this year. That's 10 top-100 players. They should go all-in on that strategy. Trade Eli. Trade everyone with value. Get like 15 - 20 top 100 picks and see what happens!

26CornerBlitz Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Left tackle Nate Solder signed a mega-deal with the New York Giants. Cornerback Malcolm Butler left for greener pastures in Tennessee. Wideout Danny Amendola signed with the Dolphins. New England further depleted its receiving corps by trading Cooks to the Rams. Perhaps the Patriots acquired a second first-round pick in hopes of filling one of their newly created holes with a top-level prospect. New England may not be interested in selecting a quarterback in the first round of the 2018 draft. However, even if they are, their draft capital is not as attractive as that of the Bills. If they do eventually decide to move further up the draft board, they’re going to have a tough time jumping in front of Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even Belicheat thrown in since all their cheating asses are retiring and maybe, just maybe Kraft just wants to insult Belly for trading Garrapolo by sending him back to the Browns.

whatdrought Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Hang on, If the Patriots want to mortgage their future (trading Gronk and all that capital) after pissing away a future franchise QB, is that really something we should be worried about? Honestly, the worst part of this for the Bills is that the Patriots aren't going to pay Cooks a ton of money to underperform in their system for the next 5 years.

Because Bill Bellicheck* isn't interested in winning at this point. From what I'm reading here, he is only interested in playing head games with the Bills. It's all a ploy to get the Bills to do something irrational. It goes like this: 1) Pats* trade Cooks for a first round pick. 2) Bills run around like headless chickens, making any trade they can just to make it look like they're doing something. 3) ??? 4) Pats* 2019 Championship!! 58 minutes ago, HappyDays said: That is definitely the weirdest possible way to think about this trade That's how you think about this trade when you have no clue what the hell is happening. 1 hour ago, Magox said: I see the whiny overreacting ninny's are out in full force.

Amandola will be more missed than Cooks, but the Pats still have a good WR core with Edelman, Hogan, Mitchell, and Britt. So at most they need a better #4. CB They are set but may need another good one (people forget Butler was UDFA) they need a stud pass Rusher the most... as I said before I could see them packaging their two first for seven If Chubb falls that far. That makes more sense to me than a QB to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
