ndirish1978 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Kid had 9 ints last season. Would you? Not sure how we could afford him, but that would probably give us the best defensive backfield in the league. Yes, I know Diggs worked him.

MAJBobby Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I would think he is better than what we would get in the late second. However the contract is the issue to put that work in just to have a NE team with more space match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorin' Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I mean, he might be better than any cb we could draft in the 2nd round. Don't like the idea of giving Belichick a 2nd rd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Pretty shrewd. Proven nfl quality starter at a position of need, and most likely a better option than our late 2nd rounder. I’m intrigued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbfla10 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Im making this move all day long. At the very least force New England to give him a contract they dont want to give him this yr. If they can make it fit with their cap its a no brainer Edited March 17, 2021 by dbfla10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 No way... leave him at the Pats so Diggs can keep in his head.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Get me upgrades at RB TE Edge CB jackson and zack for a 2 and a 4 - absolutely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I’d be all over this, if we can’t secure a top pass rusher, for a 2nd rd pick. I feel that we need a proven vet that can move the needle at pass rusher or corner. Going into the season with basically the same D (minus draft picks) would be a mistake imo 1 minute ago, Pete said: Get me upgrades at RB TE Edge CB jackson and zack for a 2 and a 4 - absolutely!

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 No thanks. He’s going to want a huge deal and he deserves it. Beane needs to take our future #2 corner very early in the draft, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I heard earlier today that this move was expected because BB wants another team to set Jackson’s price. Apparently he wasn’t able to get a LTD done directly so they’re looking for a middle man. Probably best if no team offers him and he can leave NE in a year. Otherwise BB gets Jackson long term or he gets a 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogger Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 the answer is yes for me, he is pretty good, Diggs had his number, but he played well the rest of the year. Are we going to find a better player late in the 2nd? Probably not, lets make the patriots make a decision or lose a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I wish poison pills were still a thing and we could sign him to a contract that escalates to $40M per year if he plays more than 2 games a year in New England.

Here's the history of the poison pill for anyone interested. CBA basically removed this as an option later https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2020/4/29/21118726/steve-hutchinson-poison-pill-clause-vikings-seahawks-nfl-free-agency-hall-of-fame Edited March 17, 2021 by ndirish1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Not sure how that works, since Stefon Diggs technically already owns him?... did the patriots apply for partial custody before doing this? (I’m sure a similar joke exists up thread- I didn’t look cause I wanted to put my version out pure and uninfluenced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 He is a good corner. But we need to build through the draft. Can't afford to have two of the top paid corners in the league. Bring in a talented rookie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
