Patriots/NFL 2018 Offseason - Edelman suspended 4 games for PED violation

[JRull86]

PFT who ran with the EEI story/tweet have already retracted it. I guess Chris Curtis told them it was a "joke".

THAT is why I can't take that station seriously.

Regardless, I think the discussion above is still a valid one if it actually went down.

 

[JRull86]

I'm not saying the guy doesn't have sources, I'm sure he does. I'm just asking if this is something he does on a regular basis, or is this the first time he's ever done something of this nature?

Like on The Sports Hub, the producer of Felger and Mazz has some very well placed sources on the Celtics and he's dropped hints and speculated on rumors on a regular basis, and most of what he's said has panned out. So there's a track record. I don't listen to Kirk, so I have no frame of reference if this is something that guy does or not, if that makes sense.

I never listen to EEI, just saw them tweet it, then saw PFT run with it as well.

Dont get why they brought in Jordan Mathews. Literally NO space for him unless they're getting ready for life without Hogan, Edelman or/and Cooks in a few seasons.

He's got some size at 6'3 and has shown the ability to make plays. His last 3 years (prior to Buffalo) he averaged nearly 900 yards and 6 TD's and only fumbled 3 times during that span. Low risk, high rewards for the former 2nd rounder.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Kirk & Callahan's senior producer seems to believe a Gronk trade is happening in the next few weeks, aka at the draft.

Tons of reports out there that Brady's future is tied to Gronkowski somehow. If Gronk goes, does Tom just hang them up? Does Gronk even continue playing if he's traded anywhere but LA for obvious reasons? Does Kraft step in and veto this nonsense?

This entire offseason sucks.

He was joking and Mike Florio took it serious and went with it.

Examples of previous joking around in the past.

Not to be a dick, but what's this guy's track record for breaking a major story like this? Has he ever done that? How about even a minor one?

I find it incredibly amusing that all these supposed leaks are happening, and to random sources.

So to Lonnie's point, Florio should of known better.

That's the best part. I was asking a serious question because I don't listen to the show. Of course it blows up in PFT's face, which makes it so much better...lol

Hate the Cooks trade

Hate the Cooks trade

23rd pick for 1 year of cooks is great value for the Pats.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Yuck..........don't like it AT ALL.................

 

[Nothingbutglass]

23rd pick for 1 year of cooks is great value for the Pats.

Agree. Good trade

 

[DangleCity]

Value is good, but I would have kept the players

 

[Troublesome 85]

Then again my boy who knows Cooks said his ego has gotten bigger this last year. I don't see the ego going down further being on the Rams.

Wonder why they did this. Not compatible with Brady? Stalled talks on a future contact? Didn't like his 2 stupid plays in the SB?

[Mione134]

I don't know how to feel about this trade. Cooks was very good last year.

Unless OBJ is coming here..

But that's highly unlikely

 

[JCRO]

They needs bodies. Not draft picks.

Unless Brady is Benjamin Button.

I’ll wait and say whether or not I like it onc they’re done making moves. But right now I don’t care for it

 

[McGarnagle]

I don't think Cooks was very tough, and he was completely overwhelmed by the moment in the Superbowl. Trying to hurdle that dude might've been the difference in the game.

That said, he gave us 1000 yards and a legit outside threat in the regular season, and that's a lot to have to replace.

Thanks for winning us that Houston game. I don't get the trade unless there's another shoe to drop, but it's not the end of the world. They got a good asset for him, but we're not here to collect futures...

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

1st round pick for an overrated receiver with one year left on his contract?

Great trade.

 

[DangleCity]

Good value but I would have kept the player and given him another year. Definitely has some flaws to his game and took a lot of criticism which for the most part was warranted, but he still put up 1000 yards and 7 TDs. Patriots must be confident in Mitchell returning from injury and maybe Patterson will have a bigger role in the offense than we originally thought

 

[LSCII]

1st round pick for an overrated receiver with one year left on his contract?

Great trade.

Only if they turn the first or firsts into a good to great player. A pick that will take a couple of years to improve and contribute is actually a negative because Brady's window.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Good riddance. He couldn't catch in traffic and made 2 of the worst plays I've ever seen in a Super Bowl.

Only problem is that we are AWFUL at drafting WRs but maybe after 20 years Belichick is ready to change that. Hes never gone BPA. There are some good ones in this draft and some scrubs are getting monster deals as UFAs.

 

[N o o d l e s]

If the goal is to take the best two defensive players they can get in the draft I support it. Edelman and Gronk guarantee offense so they’ll be fine.

The Cooks trade worked out great for the Saints they got a better player IMO in Lattimore.

The saints did not use the pick we traded them on Lattimore. They used there own pick. Lattimore was the 11th, we traded them the 32nd

 

[Troublesome 85]

OBJ trade could be cool

If its for a QB maybe Lamar Jackson and then they use the 30th to gain more 2nds or 3rds and draft some OL, DL, DB and LB.

 

[Troublesome 85]

They cleared 8M in salary too. Are now 14M under

Lamar Jackson and the best available LT in the first round.

Or, they supposedly like that WR from Texas A&M a lot.
