Patriots Trade Deadline Watch Thread (Official)[views:4895][posts:59]_________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:06am - xmikex ""] I flipped my shit last night when I found out that the Pats cut Tully Banta Cain. Once I calmed down from my WoW remote up the ass style freakout I realized that it's probably a roster move to make way for a trade or some sort of free agent pickup. TBC says he thinks he'll be back with the Patriots and that there's "some stuff going on in terms of the roster." I've also heard rumblings that Brandon Tate is finally eligible to be activated and may be added to the roster which would be sweet because I think Sam Aiken is a shitty receiver but a great special teams player. The trade deadline is about 6 hours away. So you've all got about 6 hours to propose the most ridiculous trade scenarios you can without consequence. Let the rampant speculation begin! |

| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:07am - xmikex ""] It's not a repost. It's a trade watch thread. Totally different. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:10am - arilliusbm ""] I don't think the patriots will do much. As I said earlier, I hope Thomas stays here. What's wrong with Gostkowski this year? |
| __________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:10am - reimroc ""] The patriots trade everyone except brady to the raiders and in return receive the entire raiders team. The new Patriots then go on to stomp everyone and win 4 superbowls in a row proving that both Brady and Belichick are gods. |

I'd like that trade if the Patriots traded for the Raiders that were in Tecmo Superbowl for NES. |

Allen goes on to vaporize both his ACLs on a 3 yard gain that falls 2 yards short of a first down. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:21am - SkinSandwich ""] They best dump J. Galloway. He smells like pickles. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:21am - xmikex ""] ATTN Aril. Look whose thread is catching on. REPOAZT! |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:24am - brian_dc ""] I like pickles. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:24am - xmikex ""] Double rumor: 1. Galloway may be on his way to the Ravens. 2. Galloway has already been cut. 3. Galloway is old and couldn't catch swine flu if he licked a handrail on the MBTA. Only #3 is confirmed. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:30am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i had such high hopes for Galloway this season. wtf. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:30am - timma ""] lolz. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:32am - xmikex ""] Galloway cut confirmed. Goto hell you old bastard. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:37am - arilliusbm ""] I'm done watching or caring about the patriots anymore. Galloway is gone? WTF? Back to worshipping the Oilers. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:38am - xmikex ""] Cutting Old Man Gall still doesn't explain why they cut TBC. I still think a trade is coming. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:42am - arilliusbm ""] You know, you're right. TBC was doing decent this year - i'm a little confused on that. Plus, we need linebackers. I'm starting to think they've got a trick up their sleeve. Get rid of some damaged goods (Taylor?) or Morris? Is that even probable? |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:45am - xmikex ""] Brady to the Rams for 8 1st rounders. And the Pats pick up Jeff George. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:49am - RustyPS ""] Galloway cut might be to make room for Tate coming off the PUP list |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 10:50am - mattkings ""] Steven Jackson, Shawn Merriman or Dwayne Bowe anyone?? Peppers?? Deion Branch hahaha |
| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:10am - ariI ""] Branch is a good idea. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:15am - mattkings ""] Eric Alexander and Mike Matthews cut. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:16am - brian_dc ""] Unemployed football players. Native American weeps by the side of the road. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:20am - ariI ""] At least it ain't futbol. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:24am - mattkings ""] Tampa Bay already picked up Galloway |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:26am - arilliusbm ""] Tampa Bay just went from a bad team to an even worse team. Awkward flight to London |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 11:53am - xmikex ""] Sportingnews is saying that Alexander may be re-signed pretty quickly. I hope so. He's the best coverage LB we have. Something big is in the works. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 12:07pm - xmikex ""] The release of Tully Banta-Cain, Joey Galloway, Eric Alexander, and Michael Matthews opens up $2.87 million in nonprorated 2009 salary cap space, which in theory allows the Patriots to absorb a player with a full-season base salary of $2.87 million. (Because all players were signed through 2009 only, there's no cap acceleration arising from cutting them.) WEEI is tossing Steven Jackson's name around as a possible trade. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 12:22pm - xmikex ""] I heard last week though that the Jackson trade would never happen because the Rams don't have the cap space to absorb the salary cap acceleration that would happen from trading away Jackson. I not 100% sure what I just said, but that's what I heard. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 12:23pm - RustyPS ""] I heard that too.......but goddamn that'd be fantastic |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 12:40pm - arilliusbm ""] Rumor has it that TO could be going to the Ravens. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 12:45pm - xmikex ""] Won't happen. I think the Bills are still under the misguided notion that they can salvage their season. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 12:49pm - arilliusbm ""] NO HUDDLES, IF, ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 1:21pm - arilliusbm ""] What about Peter Jackson or Steven King? |
| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 1:34pm - xmikex ""] Peter Griffin to the Knicks for Bernard King |
| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 1:37pm - xmikex ""] So Mike Reiss's theory is that the Pats wanted to extend TBC's contract but couldn't do it otherwise until the end of the league year. Makes sense in theory but it certainly doesn't explain why TBC didn't even know about it when he was told about the situation during a radio interview. oh, and Brandon Tate is ready to play. FUCK YES. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 1:45pm - xmikex ""] Galloway is on his way to Kansas City to "work out" for the Chiefs. Which I'm assuming means cone drills in a motorized wheelchair. I'm wondering how long it's going to take for people to give up the notion that he had trouble adapting to the New England offense. He was getting open. He was running the routes. But there's a large separation between a guy who's going to risk taking a hit, or putting his body on the line to make a play and... and Joey Galloway. Dude didn't care. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 2:59pm - xmikex ""] Steve Smith to the Dolphins? Possibly. Less than an hour to the trade deadline. SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A BATSHIT CRAZY TRADE!!! |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2009 4:50pm - RustyPS ""] other than the Eagles getting Will Witherspoon from the Rams for WR Brandon Gibson and a 2010 fifth-round draft pick, I haven't seen a trade today the Redskins signed Levi Jones too btw |
