big_palooka Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Salary dump. Puts a void at KR however where the Raiders sucked for years until signing him. He can make the occasional splash play on offense. But I don't worry about him ever being anything more than a gadget player. Poor route runner and suspect hands. He's JAG in NE, as he was in Oak and Minn before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mct288 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I hate to see him go b/c I really liked his attitude, and it's fun to watch when he does make plays. But 3.25 mil is a bit steep and he was basically expendable as a ST player after the Cowboys guys signed. Kick Returners just don't get enough opportunity to justify paying them that much money. Good dude and I hope he succeeds in NE, but yeah, wit the extra money and getting back into the 5th round, there is a good chance that we see a player that affects the game more regularly.

SilverNBlackFan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Roberts shouldve been gone before Patterson. Cpat was a beast of a returner and a excellent gunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinCity Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I am not too keen on this move as I just would not trade with the Pats; they make a living out of entering into trades that often look in the other teams favour and come out smelling of roses. With that having been said, it is an awful lot for a special teamer - so good luck CP. The trade looks good if it was for one of our comp picks in the 6th round, not so much if it is our 10th pick in the 6th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but like the idea of moving Roberts to WR4 if thats the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he'll pass and we can work something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't know why you'd trade a potential weapon like Patterson the the team you're hoping to beat in the playoffs. At least we get back into the 5th round. My thoughts precisely.

bullslugg Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 What number pick in the 5th rnd? I don't see the Patriots pick in the 5th. Is it for 2019 5th rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The hate for Seth Roberts is over the top at this point. As a RECEIVER, he's better than Patterson. He had an inconsistent 2017, so did the rest of the team. He showed in '16, he can make plays. Likely, he's pushed down the depth chart. But to take 2mil in dead money agains the cap isn't needed right now. He can be a serviceable as a 4th/5th WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still confused as to why the FO resigned Roberts last year because his contract strapped them into having to cut Crabtree. Roberts best year came in 2015. Caught a lot of "easy" TDs in 2016. I don't give it long in the season before you change your stance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Grudens offense requires precision route running and sure hands. Obviously, Patterson doesn't fit that mold. He's a very good gadget player, and returner. We will miss him in that aspect, but we cleared up some space and got back into the 5th. Didn't like the move at first, but makes a bunch of sense. Reggie Mac, quietly having a very solid off-season. Plugging holes, while stretching money! Still have a few things to patch up, but with a solid draft, we should field a better roster.

I don't give it long in the season before you change your stance on him. "Playmaker" is a bit of a stretch. Antonio Brown is a playmaker. OBJ is a playmaker. Patterson had 2 TDs last year. Hardly a playmaker. He's good for a splash run when he has a straight path. Great ST player, but not a playmaker in an offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
