Texans should trade for Ryan Mallett

If the patriots took a second and fourth for him, I would be mad.

Why? That would be a great move for the Pats. You could pick up a quality player that will actually see the field with a 2nd and a decent backup QB with a 4th.

That doesn't even warrant a discussion from New England's end. If they get offered a second they tell you "he's worth more than that to the organization, so this discussion is a waste of our time."


Again, I am not saying anyone should offer more. But New England has no reason to give up a key piece at one of the most important spots on their roster for a low pick. He knows the offense, throws the ball pretty well, and could keep them competitive for a stretch if Brady were to go down for a short period. This isn't a team looking to push their competitiveness off into the future. Brady is here now and a low draft pick doesn't do anything to improve their chances over what is likely to be a couple last runs with him. Mallett, for every game he is in our uniform, does. If his value stays low and we can extend him, even better. I don't care what his value anywhere else is. Here, he is a valuable piece.

I hear ya...but his value to NE is really a different topic, but a 2nd & 4th imo is GREAT market value for a young backup QB by NFL standards.

I guarantee Mallett adds more value as the most important backup on the roster than a second round pick does in the next couple of years. Mallett goes nowhere.

I'm just saying why no deal is likely to be done. That trade makes no sense for us.
