I'd give up our next few years of 2nd and 3rd round picks for Brady since Rick Smith is going to blow them anyway. Throw in Brooke and let's do this!

I don't think you make a trade for Brady just because of screwing up the Manning thing. Manning wanting to come here was more about him getting to beat on the Colts twice a year. Of course he wants to win wherever he goes, but going against the Colts would give him just another boost.
Brady is a competitor, no doubt, but would he have the same drive here as in New England? Besides, I think the end of the Tom Brady era in New England signals the end of Belichek and that team in general.
Do it for the right reasons though, not just because we missed out on something else.

Great competitors have the drive that you're describing wherever they play.

It's too much and doesn't make sense in context. Brady isn't happy they got rid of his receivers and AJ isn't happy not having a QB. You're swapping the two parts that are most attractive to the players involved. Better to swap them your new G or other pieces that help them rebuild young around their new QB.

Would you pull the trigger and make it happen? If The Hoodie said no would you sweeten the deal with an additional 1st round selection in 2016?
Discuss.

the problem I have with that trade is we have no one to replace AJ. Hopkins is good but I expect both Martin and Posey to be gone and we'd need at least one high WR to start opposite Nuk if we did deal. I think Lippett could be had in 4th as a sure handed clutch receiver but not sure who else..maybe Strong in second?
Mallet and Foster for Brady makes more sense.
Mallet gives them a backup to Garappolo - if they traded Brady, they'd only have one QB on the roster. This gives them a backup that, allegedly, knows their system.
Foster fills the hole they have at RB with Ridley out for the year.
And I'd hate like hell to give up Foster. But for Brady... yeah, I'd pull the trigger.

I don't think there's a chance in hell this is going to happen. Just wanted to bump the photo.
OzzO
.. and then?
Nope, not really enjoying Fitz. Would like to see Mallet already.
Why not the trade? I feel it's too much, similar to what was mentioned earlier by another a first & lesser known player - sure. 3rd and AJ - sure. But I'd really like to see the Brady / AJ tandem and dropping one for another wouldn't allow that.
Yeah, I agree with you there. I probably would send Foster and a 1st for Brady.

not sure if Mallett would go back to Pats unless they offer him large deal and doubt that happens. This is his last contract year and he probably wants to explore FA. I remember putting up Foster for a late first and was chastised. Are you thinking Blue can start or would you draft another RB?
(a) if we made the deal before the (very near) trade deadline, that's not our problem.
(b) it gives him a(nother) shot unseating Garappolo and becoming Brady's successor.
(c) (theoretically) he knows the system.
A late first doesn't get a legendary QB well versed in the offense our shiny new head coach is trying to install. It get's you a maybe.
Yes, I'd start Blue and comb the F/A listings and practice squad rosters for fill-ins for the rest of 2014.
And, yes, I'd draft another RB in 2015. However... I would no longer be in a panic to draft a QB so I could even afford to use that very late 1st or 2nd to draft a high quality RB. I think we could get away with using a 3rd on a RB.
I'm thinking ILB or DB in the first. ...but I digress

Not sure how people are silly enough to buy into this considering the fact that AJ is part of it.
The Patriots would "never" trade for AJ. His contract is way to high and they are arguably the cheapest organization in football. The Pats have needed help so bad for years in NE and have forced Brady to play with crap at the position, and they still won't give him help even after last season's struggles in their passing game and Denver continually loading their offense. Why in the hell would the Pats organization trade for an aging receiver who struggles to get separation now days while he would be like 35? The Pats would care less about AJ being involved. He'd be one of the last people they'd be after in a trade.
If they even entertained it at all I could see them wanting Foster, a #1 draft pick, and Mercilous or something like that.

I honestly can't believe people are crazy enough to think anyone is taking this seriously at all.
Just a bunch of guys conversing about something they think is funny, interesting, or just better than the next bit of silliness to talk about.

exactly.
talking about the team as it's built/playing now is just way too depressing.
it's much more fun to indulge in wild, imaginary trading scenarios
like kids wishing for snow days
it'll never happen here
Brady isn't sticking around much longer anyway. Most the Time he doesn't look like he gives #+^t whether he's playing football or not. He's waiting for that and then he's going to Hollywood. I think he wants to be a movie star. I don't think he would come to Houston even if they traded him. He and wife don't need the money. I'm telling you, he wants to be a movie star. And he doesn't want that pretty nose broke.

Then he'd have already quit. Instead he's talking about playing until he's in his 40s.
And that is the most intense don't give a **** person I've ever seen.

Let's not let reality get in the way of our misguided perceptions
I watch a QB's eyes; knew Schwab wasn't a keeper almost from the start - if things went south, he would get this look in his eyes. It didn't last long - at first; then it gradually changed to an "I don't get it," look. After he was hurt and his season ended, I saw the look go from disbelief to uncertainty to fear. No one else saw it? It was there, and my dad, who has always live sports but is now legally blind (progressively since his teens, when STL Cards - baseball - called, put him thru tryouts & accepted him into their vast farm system, an offer he had to decline as his RP already had cost him his front teeth & necessitated move from SS to LF tho n/p clippings indicate he could still swing that bat and throw someone out from left field), asked me, beginning way back, why I was so down on him from early on, he totally understood my comments. And I first saw that look in Brady's eyes in the New Orleans game last year. And this year, Brady being Brady, he did not want to show fear so instead a "shoulder shrug" mentality. It was not until his wife sent those tweets out – probably at the hooded man's request - that the look has disappeared. But I've been saying for years now that he was only staying because of Peyton. and now, faced with the rebuilding of his team, I don't see him doing a Favre. Time will tell whether he does a Jim Brown. My moneys on it.

As someone who has followed the Patriots and Brady very closely, I can't think of one post that is as far off as one could get in this thread. You literally just made that stuff up out of thin air. Dude could have been a movie star ten years ago if wanted that. Do some research or watch some interviews before blindly pulling stuff out of nowhere. It just makes your thoughts seem completely irrelevant honestly. There us nothing what so ever that would make your accusations authentic or accurate at all. Quite the opposite actually. The biggest knock I'd put in Brady is his loyalty to BB and the Patriots, because they sure as hell haven't done much to help him after he gave up a decent portion of his salary to help the team. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Brady finally crack and tell BB to kick rocks while he demands a trade to a team that us committed to winning "now" because the Patriots haven't been for several years. If they didn't have Brady they'd just have been an average team.

Brady strikes me as someone that will remain involved in football long after his playing days are over.

In an interview when Brady first started with New England and already won like 3 Super Bowls, he was asked what makes him keep going. His reply was that when Michigan won a championship a coach or staff worker told the team "you know which is my favorite ring?....The next one". Brady said that has stuck with him ever since. I honestly believe that dude thinks he can win another championship right now and next year too.

That is all that he ever has stated. His work ethic has always been 2nd to none and he likes the endless grind as he has stated over 10 years. BB who is one of the most dedicated and obsessed HC's has also talked how hard it is to coach him because of his endless studying and preparation that even he has to be prepared for. It was an interesting article that came out last season. I can't find it right now due to all of the newer Brady/Patriot articles from this season that come up in google searches.
Personally I'd love to see Brady leave the Patriots. Belicheck's arrogance has gotten way out of hand. Between that, and Kraft's cheap mentality to cut distinguished players all of the time, I'm not sure at all why any player would stay loyal to that franchise. When you see everything that Elway has done to give Manning every weapon possible to break records and succeed, it's a slap in the face to Brady for what his front office and coaching staff have done.
The thing I like about Brady, & there's only one, I get the feeling he never stopped thinking he could get better... That, imo, is what makes him great.
I stand by my view on what Brady will do. Players are so well known for telling us what they are REALLY going to do. Brady's game changed that Sunday wifey made all the tweets. We don't normally hear a whole lot from her on football and her hubbie's or teammate's performance. Big turn around on his part and his team after that. I suspect there could have been a pre-game marital discussion and deal made - but not in their inner circle so don't know for sure. She's made noise before about life after football. And if y'all think a Brazilian supermodel wants a husband remaining for many more years in the NFL - that's your prerogative - I am just not seeing it happen. Great game against Chicago - though I would not say that the Beard played on a level one would think an NFL team should. If you were able to watch that game in its entirety - you are a true Pats fan, and that's cool. I'll watch parts of it in the quick mode - and certainly fast forward even then. But three good games to switch between now - and Pats won me some money, so no complaints. Will see what's shaking in the forums and with y'all around halftime or before the GB-NO game. Oh, I forgot: I can certainly see Brady coaching one of his kids' teams if that qualifies as remaining in football. Peace.
What???
Bears. Cutler played soooo well. Every score Bears had had little to do with him - even when he threw the ball. If Bennett hadn't made that awesome catch, along with some help from Pat's Reavis and the Bear's franchise RB, Forte, I doubt Chicago would have scored. Cutler is the only thing positive about Fitz - we aren't paying him the money that Cutler keeps getting. He should be in Congress. But I just watched the highlights so I might have missed something. I certainly saw Grownk have an incredible day - I like him and am glad he's healthy again. Thankful that Andre tipped that ball which would surely have been intercepted by Titans, a team I despise even tho the monster is dead (RIP Bud - not). Sorry Ravens - love ya - but where were the receivers? And the count keeps climbing on QBs that Houston could of should of but didn't take. No one will ever explain that to my satisfaction. Oh, and that other Fitz - in AZ - great game. And extra kudos to Texans defense. I'm looking forward to more of JJ & Clowney. Secondary looked good too. Great football day - love having an early game and Detroit kept my love, and Buffalo and Miami may have a good year - and maybe better next year. Glad Bills are paying Mario tho - not changing my mind on that.

Since the Chiefs game and these posts, Brady has amassed for 18 TD's to 1 INT $1,631 yards in 5 games and has won every game including the one against Manning just now to where it wasn't even close the entire way.
