This would have been a gamble and it sounds like we would have needed to move money to get it done, but I would have done it. A lot of great players leave New England and are just a shell of themselves. So we’ll see.
Spoken like a dude living in Carolina, lol.They'll
get McCaffery back after this week
get Henderson up to speed in a week or two
get Gilmore acclimated
get some o-lineman healthier
With a manageable schedule, they should have a shot at a wildcard spot.
Yeah but no team was trading for him without knowing he would play for them.Was also a trade so he didnt really have a choice
Holding out for a pay day. Pats didn't cut him because they are in the business of sending off good players.Huh?

This is objectionably awful roster mgmt and it's surprising fans are still this behind the times.
CMC was averaging 3.9 YPC on the year.
Henderson was a bust of a draft pick who is still raw as rain.
He has a lot of upside but he was traded for a reason.
Sam Darnold still lacks weapons even with DJ Moore playing lights out.
Making a Wild Card game is an interesting goal for a team that spend up to 10m this year to rent a player that can't be active until week 7.
I do not at all understand this move.
Carolina just isn't that good and realistically could have lost by 20.
Playing the Texans 3rd QB, the Jets and The Saints minus 8 coaches it not a good barometer to base your future on.
My best guess is Carolina felt like they could either extend Gilmore or get a comp draft pick for him.
But 9-10M in salary cap usually buys you a lot more than that.
Well, I disagree with most (not all of) what you said.....plus you are directly wrong on some things and indirectly on others.Spoken like a dude living in Carolina, lol.

I'm failing how giving up a 6th rounder for a one year rental at a spot that is clearly in need could be considered a bad move.
I would happily pay a 5th for half a season of Gilmore. For a potential playoff run.6th round pick. Aaaaaaaand a huge contract (or let him walk next year)
I'd throw a 6th rounder out the window with the off chance he may playYeah but no team was trading for him without knowing he would play for them.
I've said it over and over again until I'm blue in the face and @Ranching knows this better than anyone of us, locker room chemistry is a huge factor in a teams success. Jaylon was complaining about playing time which was a distraction and was probably causing animosity with the young guys and the new guys.Passing on this guy was the right move.
He is a malcontent and we have a good thing going already, with two young corners on the horizon.
That aside, that Carolina defense was pretty good beforehand, and they should be taken very seriously now.
You got that right....I can forgive a lot, just don't mess with the locker room.....that's where it gets real.I've said it over and over again until I'm blue in the face and @Ranching knows this better than anyone of us, locker room chemistry is a huge factor in a teams success.
