Pats trade Logan Mankins to TB

[GingerP]

Wow, that is a big trade. They got TE Tim Wright and a draft pick back.

if he and halle berry had their first son what would they name him

Any interest in the Bills taking another look at Incognito?

No? OK. Just checking.

OH boy. Another productive TE to the Pats.

This Chris Williams signing is looking more & more ugly.

Please explain what this trade has to do with the Chris Williams signing? I'm confused?!?!?

I don't know why TB moved him to TE, but he was a WR at Rutgers. Kind of smallish for a TE at 220.

How does TB go out and get a Pro Bowl guard this late in the preseason? Unbelievable.

[GingerP]

I wonder what the draft pick they got back is. This reminds me of when they traded Richard Seymour.

[justasportsfan]

The Pats got suckered. They had to trade their probowl guard to get a TE. We got Palmer for nothing.

Is it just me or do players that leave the Pats generally fall off the level they played at in NE?

Seymore was still good as was Welker. Then there's Adalius Thomas and then Bledsoe.

Jim Plunkett?

[GingerP]

Ended up a 4th-round pick. This must have been to dump his salary, because he made a lot of money. Maybe they need the room for extensions. Odd move.

This is a nothing trade.

Mankins is in his back-9 for a G and he's had injury issues the last few seasons.

Nothing to see here.

I'm surprised that we didn't offer up next year's 2nd or 3rd rounders though, those are still available to be traded away.

[Homegrown]

Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.

Guess we should lower expectations for Spikes.

[Albany,n.y.]

He's probably going to NE to replace Mankins.

[justasportsfan]

the pats can bring in the best TE in the nfl and it won't matter. We now have Spikes to cover them.
