Kind of Strange. I guess they are passing on Incognito. LINK /

Their o-line is worse than the fowl.

I guess they need to O-line help, but I thought Wright was a nice receiving TE, that would make good 2 TE set with ASJ.

Tom Brady must really love these future 4th rounders

The Pats are such a weird org - seldom use all their cap room and don't seem to have any sense of urgency about their window closing.

b/c he's a Saints fan and not a Bucs fan?

The only other roster I keep up with is Atlanta, and that's only b/c I live here

crazy i know, but i would think most of our fans know the players we play against twice a year. Esp one who was their 2nd leading WR who caught at TD against us last year im pretty sure

Nope. Couldn't care less.

As long as the team knows who they are, that's all that matters

didnt want to spell receiver. Though Wright is built like a WR. Think Colston

Was a very good move by the Bucs; makes it a bit tougher for our guys. Wonder if Brady was okay with it...,

Gotcha. It's hard to pick out the casual fans sometimes. I just assumed we all knew who he was

Not a bad move by the Bucs. They seem to be our competition this year for the Division.

I'm sure he didn't want his boy to be traded but I would assume they have good depth on the O-line or they would not have made the trade. Just my guess without knowing their situation.

The Pats are great at the trading game, especially at dealing guys with big names at a depth position. Until the Sproles trade, that was one of the few areas I thought the Saints FO could improve on.

Either way, looks like a good move for the Pats if they are sure about the depth behind him. They also got a tight end out of the deal - considering their premier TE can't stay healthy and the other is playing for the penal league, this was a smart choice (unless their new starter gets a bad injury).

They've been the most successful organizations in the last decade for those reasons. They expect to be competitive after Tom Brady. Mankins cap number was large in 2015 as well.

Just another fun fact, both of your guards off you guys super bowl team were taken at or after the 4th round. Both turned out to be pro bowl/all-pro players.
