first two big NFL free agent signings[views:7772][posts:104]__________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:56am - RustyPS ""] I think the Pats should hold out for picks #20 (1st round) and #65 (3rd round) from Detroit......or #34 (2nd round) and #67 (3rd round) from the Chiefs I don't think there will be any other serious takers....maybe Tampa |

He barely played last season if my memory serves me right. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:01pm - W3 @ work ""] yeah he was injured, but dood is only 24. |

| __________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:09pm - RustyPS ""] If the Pats could somehow talk Detroit into giving them #20 and #33 (1st pick of the 2nd round), you take that yesterday IMO I think the best package Tampa would do is a 2nd and 3rd rounder (picks 50 and 81), but I think the Pats could get more. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:10pm - W3 @ work ""] that might be the problem, they want more and aren't getting it. TB just dumped a lot of older players so they might not want to give up too much for Cassel but I guess we shall see. wooooooooooooo almost time for Guiness. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:23pm - W3 @ work ""] holy shit the Browns just traded Winslow to TB |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:25pm - W3 @ work ""] also LOL @ the Skin calling a free agents and telling them they don't want to meet with them cause they're out of money now. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:44pm - RustyPS ""] Tampa has $60 million under the cap...so they def have the money and lol@you obviously listening to date and Holley right now |
| __________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:48pm - RustyPS ""] uh oh.....I was hoping he was coming to the Pats, but..... http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/27/lb-boley-will-visit-giants/ |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:49pm - W3 @ work ""] Hey I'm getting paid for that shit man, no one here in office I don't have to listen to my Ipod or the soft rock station the ladies enjoy. so fuck yeah I got EEI on and I'm surfing the net, I've only got two files left to proof read and edit with an hour left. WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!!!!!!!!! WHAT! WOULD! YOU! DO! |
| __________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 12:51pm - RustyPS ""] hey man I'm doing the same, so THAT'S WHAT I DO |

They cut like 8 guys this week. 5 but yea, Brooks and Dunn (LOL!) are both way over the hill as is Galloway and June is not that good....Hilliard can still do some things, but he's not a huge loss |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:05pm - SkinSandwich ""] Brian Dawkins is visiting the broncos right now. i have been saying the Pats need this guy for months. whats the deal?! |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:12pm - RustyPS ""] I don't think they need him, they need a SS more than a FS. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:32pm - RustyPS ""] Schefter is reporting Vrabel is being traded to the Chiefs !!!!!!!!! |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:33pm - RustyPS ""] http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/27/chiefs-patriots-nearing-trade-for-vrabel/ |
| ________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:34pm - xmikex ""] BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:35pm - sacreligion ""] retarded. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:37pm - MillenialKingdom ""] WHAT THE FUCK??? WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TRADE ONE OF THE BEST LINEBACKERS YOU'VE EVER FUCKING HAD? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:40pm - RustyPS ""] I'm holding out judgment for 2 things: 1) What they get from the Chiefs in return? 2) Who they get to replace him?....which might not happen until the draft |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:43pm - MillenialKingdom ""] He's one of the only linebackers I've seen to have the most TD's as a linebacker in a Superbowl. Yea, let's trade him away. Good job, Pats. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:48pm - RustyPS ""] lol....so you're pissed they traded a LB that they happened to use in goal line situations? that's a little silly IMO |
| ________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:48pm - xmikex ""] Well let's think about this. He's getting older, and I think it's a contract year for him. Like Rusty said I'm reserving judgment until I hear what kind of compensation they're getting for him. I'm hoping for at least a 3rd rounder plus a late round selection. If I hear the words "Larry Johnson" involved I'm going to be pissed. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:53pm - xmikex ""] Per PFT: "So if they can come to an agreement on Vrabel, when will Matt Cassel make his way to Missouri?" How sick would it be if we walked away with 2 out of KC's top draft picks. Thanks Pioli! |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 2:55pm - MillenialKingdom ""] RustyPS said:lol....so you're pissed they traded a LB that they happened to use in goal line situations? that's a little silly IMO Well, I just used that as an example. My point is that he's a very versatile player and we need him. |

If I hear the words "Larry Johnson" involved I'm going to be pissed.What if instead of LJ, Tony Gon Gon is part of the package? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 3:02pm - RustyPS ""] The Big Show is speculating that Vrabel might be a chip to sweeten the pot in a possible deal for Cassel to get the 3rd pick overal....this is intriguing |
| ________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 3:04pm - xmikex ""] I'd be less than upset if we ended up with Tony G. But Gonzo, Watson, Chris Baker, David Thomas.... that's a lot of tight ends. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 3:11pm - RustyPS ""] True...but Watson has been a pretty big disappointment, Baker won't start either way, and as you said earlier, Thomas is in their doghouse. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 3:31pm - RustyPS ""] John "Booger" Clayton is reporting an undisclosed draft pick for Vrabel.......but WEEI is working the phones to find out more, and they're saying no one can confirm or deny that this is part of a possible Cassel deal |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 4:20pm - W3 nli ""] MORE DRAFT PICKS PLZ K THX |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 4:42pm - Mattkings ""] Hopefully they trade Cassell too. Then we could possibly get Aaron Curry with the Chiefs 1st round pick to take Vrabel's spot. |

It's like racing cars with no classes, who ever has the most money is going to have the best shot. Fuck that right in the ass. Get on with the NHL's 38 million a year per team and I will care. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:02pm - Hater ""] Pats got Fred Taylor. and Gaffney went to Denver. |

| _________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 1:24pm - RustyPS ""] It is official! Cassel to KC http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/28/chiefs-complete-trade-for-cassel/ |
| _________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 2:23pm - RustyPS ""] BULLSHIT!!! Vrabel and Cassel for ONLY a 2nd rounder? AWFUL |
| ________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 3:36pm - Hater ""] That is an atrocious trade. But so was Welker at the time, if you think about it. Vrabel is great, but old, and Cassel will do well anywhere. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 3:39pm - RustyPS ""] Welker wasn't an awful trade at the time at all...I was very excited for that trade when it happened. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 3:40pm - Hater ""] Why? His numbers in Miami were not great at all. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 3:56pm - RustyPS ""] If you watched Miami at all when he was there, it was obvious he was the diamond in the rough there....I knew the Pats could easily exploit his talents, even though Miami didn't know how to use him |
| ________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 3:57pm - Hater ""] I did watch him. Maybe in the VERY rough!! I didnt know you could see das future. Kudos. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 5:10pm - SkinSandwich ""] Lito Sheppard to the Jizzets. Fucking blows. Bart Scott went to them as well. |
