Carolina trades DE Kony Ealy to Patriots

They drop 8 spots in the draft and get a solid young veteran end with his best football still in front of him.

That's why they're the Patriots.

 

[Killerinstinct]

Patriots acquired DE Kony Ealy and a third-round pick from the Panthers in exchange for a second-round selection.

I guess some teams when they need a DE go out and get one.

This kind of stuff makes me sick. Why don't we EVER get creative like this?

Oh that's right.. We want to build exclusively in the FA dumpster and through the draft.

Wow! I'd have been in on that.

Huh? And this team can't trade a starting Pro Bowl caliber QB for nothing????

Sign other teams trash. This team has been dumpster digging way too long.

A difference of what, 11 spots. This org wants to be like the Patriots so bad yet they continue to get schooled.

The guy had 5 sacks last year (14 in a 3 year career)....this is where the rueage is?

It's like they enjoy playing a numbers game. Run through 20 trash players with supposed "upside", and then boast about how great you are at talent evaluation when you actually find something (David Irving).

Whereas you could also do some of the things the Pats do, and be a perennial contender.

They wait to be shown what to do, and then once they start picking up on habits they've learned, the Pats take it in a completely different (and genius) direction. There's a reason they always win Super Bowls while we can't even win a playoff game.

Lesson 1 in FA. Don't answer calls from NE

our 2nd round picks are too valuable for shenanigans like this

JJ and JG don't know what they doing. They just get lucky from time to time while others team show a history of constant success with roster moves. When was the last time this team had a 2nd round pick that actually pan out?

 

[CWR]

Its like the Pats pull fantasy football trades on a regular basis. It really doesnt seem that damn hard but for some reason we dont seem to even attempt moves like this.

Geez Im the back to back champ in my league, sign me up Jerry!

 

[jazzcat22]

Off season panic posts and threads out the wazzuu more than ever...come on man....

Dude, you've been around long enough to know that the panty wadders outweigh everyone else by a 10 to 1 margin this time of year.

OMG the Commanders signed Pryor to a 1 year deal. We're officially the worst team in the division.

OMG the Patriots traded for a guy that mustered an average of less than 5 sacks a season, Jerry's getting schooled.

There's full blown ****** and then there's this place (which makes full blown ****** look like a MENSA convention).

Yea, Jerry gets too much credit for being this marketing guru, which may be true when marketing merchandise but he's is probably the worst in the NFL and making trades that he actually comes out on top of.
