Payton's been eyeing a third TE and specificslly mentioned it when asked about roster moves. Not the third TE many would want but there it is.


This created more cap space

No reason for the Brees move

This. We also need new teachers & motivators on the defensive side of the ball. I don't have any faith in the current defensive coaches at the moment.

I know it's become the in thing to bash Payton & his play calling but his game plan last Sunday was superb. I still believe in him as a talent evaluator for offensive skill position players & he will be essential to the development of Garrett Grayson. Ireland needs to be responsible for the O-Line & all defensive player evaluations of current & future players.

Should we expect another move soon?

We're trading Armstead to Carolina for Mike Tolbert.

Yeah I'm not sold on us being done.

But even if we are done cap space can be carried forward. Still makes the Brees move curious if we stand pat but this trade saves money either way.

Perhaps a team pulled out on a handshake deal?

Seems stupid if nothing else happens or we were lied to.

So Hicks fell into a rotational spot. He was likely not gonna be brought back next year so we got a blocking TE for him.

Whatever. This move can't hurt us at this point, so I refuse to get upset about it.
Pretty much how I feel.
Pointless move, but one that doesn't change anything in the long run.

Maybe we're tanking officially.
After last year's promising draft, maybe tanking is for the best...

How bad will the melt be when Belichick & his staff turn Hicks into a force at DT?

Dude's gonna go up there and be a pro bowler.

WTF are we doing with this trade.

I'm not putting money on it
I can't remember what injury he had either that he struggled to come back from

Guys, are you even aware what position Hicks played for us?

He was almost always an end, not a tackle.

He'll be playing 3-4 DE in New England I believe. May fit his style of play more

It doesn't change much for us.

We weren't gonna give him a new contract.
We're letting him go a bit earlier than expected, basically.




If the Pats wanted him, they would have got him anyway in the next offseason.
