NFL...Not Patriots News

Hmmmm, starting to wonder if NE will be serious contenders in FA. Deebo to the Commanders for a 5th round pick. Even coming off a less than stellar season, getting up there in age and injury concerns this looks like a steal for the commanders.

Was NE even in the bidding? One has to wonder.

Former 49ers front office guy Adam Peters is now with the Commanders. My guess is that he had a bit of an inside track and made his move. Patriots seem to be sitting on their hands and playing by the rules. People are beginning to think that the Patriots might end up spending stupidly to meet the league salary cap requirements. Will Wolfe try to carry $50M over to 2026 and have another 4-13 team in 2025?

The trade seems to have caught everyone by surprise. The Chiefs were licking their chops for a chance at Deboo. The Giants supposedly were getting ready to start dealing. My question is this........."If the Commanders offered a 5th, why didn't the 49ers ask around to see if a team like the Patriots, who are WR starved, might offer a fourth? Maybe They were asked and thought fourth in their position was a bit much for a one year risk.

I guess old, declining, expensive WR's are just not my thing.....

But for a 5th? He had 50+ receptions, 3 TDs and his YAC is top in the league. Not a diva and could mentor the kids. I would've done this trade if I was the GM and the opportunity arose.

He is still very expensive, regardless of the trade. It was a 5th that was given for a WR that would likely have been cut!

He will get Diva money. Will we throw all that money on an aging star while rebuilding??????

If they want to be competitive they have to pay someone. They have plenty of cap, even if they signed him.
