Who in their right minds would trade a aging fossil in NFl terms, although maybe he has 2 years left, for a possible Top 10 pick, maybe even a Top 5 pick in 2011.
Let say for arguments sake it the 12th pick and NE gets the Lombardi in 2011.
HELLO??????
NE also acquired 2 second round picks in 2010.
Tennessee and JAX
NE could let's say have the 30-40-56-64 in 2010.
Then maybe 15-32 in 2011.
That can build a lotta quality depth and 2010 may be an uncapped year where a owner with cash can load up in 2010 and phase down and never have cap issues again and crush the free agent cream of the crop.
As you know 74 loves the draft and coeds.
Not necessarily in that order.
