CP3MVP Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 You can’t rely on Gordon. I expect the entire WR/TE corps to be revamped. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone whose name isn’t Julian Edelman is gone by opening night this year. Id look into trading for Cameron Brate on the Bucs. They have OJ Howard and Brate is one of the best redzone threats in football the last 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hope to see Gerald McCoy sign too if he is released. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think some pressing needs for next season will be a reliable tight end to replace Gronk, a deep threat WR to replace Gordon, and more media coverage of people doubting and/or hating them. I am reasonably confident they will obtain all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see it happening... Brown would make sense if the Steelers were willing to trade (which they wouldn't be, of course), but not OBJ IMO. I guess you could make more of an argument for it if Gronk retired, but that's still a lot of money that could go towards resigning Trey Flowers or Trent Brown or another LB or like 4 other depth WRs... Would be fun to see though, especially if we kept Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be fun to see though, especially if we kept Gronk. Well Gronk is coming back, and I could see a big trade for OBJ. If the yearly salary isn't bad then I think it will happen. I'd still like to see Adam Humphries sign though and Gordon come back healthy. I'd welcome Danny Amendola back too but he seems like he won't be. Post-June 1st, the Giants can trade OBJ and save $17 million in cap space and Pats can trade Dont'a Hightower and save $8 million. Through in Joe Thuney and a second round pick and I think the Giants would have to be thrilled. They get cap space they desperately need, they rebuild, add a left guard Nate Solder is familiar with and move Will Hernandez over to the right where he can thrive as a run blocker. On defense the Giants get a huge boost in leadership and talent they have no other way of finding it would seem. The Patriots meanwhile replace Hightower with JaWuan Bentley and add a critical component to their team at wide receiver where the depth is lacking. In addition, the Patriots get some cap space to be able to afford the re-signings Trent Brown and Trey Flowers, and maybe even Gostkowski (although meh, they should do better/the same cheaper). It's a win-win for the Giants, Patriots, and all players involved and there are some picks to spare this year. I say go for it and bring in OBJ, one of the only players I'd feel okay giving Hightower away for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hightower isn't the player he used to be (at least he was not that this season) but he still is a player who came up huge in 3 Super Bowls and is a team leader. I don't think NE will even attempt to trade for OBJ but if they will I would be okay giving up Hightower. If I'm New England I try and trade for AJ Green. He has a lower cap hit of 12 million in his last year with the Bengals and Cincy is in rebuilding mode with a new coach. AJ Green will be 31 and the Bengals will need a few years to get back to being relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 AJ Green would be fun to watch on the Patriots so I'm not against it but I don't feel the same way about it as OBJ requesting a trade and commenting on TB12's Instagram photos.

CP3MVP Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 And the only way Gronk comes back is if he agrees to a MASSIVE paycut. Remember BB wanted to trade him last offseason but he threatened to retire. I don’t see him taking the cut and his body has failed him so I think he’ll just hang it up.

CP3MVP Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Also I’d be shocked if Trent brown came back. This guy is a proven starter at both Tackle spots and just came off a postseason run where in 3 games against the best Dlines in football completely dominated.

rfournier103 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 OBJ would be huge. Part of me thinks Brady might talk Gronkowski into staying one more season to try for three out of four. So many questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/14/2019 at 4:34 PM, DoleINGout said: I'm with you. Pretty sure he was released and he announced his retirement. The Pats already been on the hook for part of his contract this season. Gordon on the other hand will be back. Yes, he was released, but I hope he can come back (it's a longshot). He did not retire. http://www.espn.com/blog/boston/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4816718/after-10-surgeries-malcolm-mitchell-still-hopes-to-return-to-nfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
