re: At what point does Tom Brady demand a trade?

You know two years ago it pissed him off that he took a paycut with intent to help resign Welker, then Bill lets him go.

Then this year he trades away his best OL.

To be fair, both of those things sort of worked out -- Welker just had his third concussion in a year and got popped for PEDs and Mankins was making too much for a guard and got hurt in Week 1.

I think the Belichick's drafting ability is horrendously overrated, but they've done a good job of retooling and rebuilding through the draft by cutting ties with veterans at the right time. Guys like McGinest, Seymour, Welker and Moss come to mind immediately. It's better to have depth at many positions than have a few stars and be shallow.
