Sanu to Pats...
 

For a 2nd. Over paid so something must be up IMO. Gordon injury worse than originally thought or perhaps a relapse?

BB getting a toy for TFB. He must think they need it for that game on 12/8!

Edit: Can this get moved to the Trade deadline thread?

TFB?

Tom Fingers Boys?

I'm pissed!!!!!!!

He could definitely help. Edelman still isnt' 100%, Gordon was out last night and nobody really knows how hurt he is, and N'Keal Harry isn't back from IR.

If Sanu works out, maybe Harry stays on IR this year and the Pats bring back Wynn (LT) and Develin so their run game can try to get back on track.

Real question if you are going to give up a 2 why didn't you just get AJ Green? I doubt Cincy turns that down.

Tommy Frenchy’s Boys

Never fails.

Meanwhile, Veach will say, “we tried.”

Probably cap space if nothing else. Patriots are tight to the cap. Not sure how they are fitting Sanu yet.

More proof owners don't give a shit who wins the SB. Any owner that hkeo Kraft is a loser with no pride.

Who do you want Veach to trade for? I sure as **** didn't want Ramsey at the price it cost. Cards have already said they aren't trading Peterson. Do you know of a linebacker or guard out there that is up for trade? Did you want him to trade for Sanu for some reason? At some point you have to admit your cynicism is just emotional baggage that you should let go of, man.

Why do teams do this?

I bet it’s this. Read somewhere that Atlanta might have converted most of his salary for this year to bonus before the trade. That would cost the Pats more and help make sense of the 2nd.

Sanu is a better fit for our offense, healthy, fits under the cap and is under contract next year.

If the Falcons aren't going to win it, why do they care who wins it? Do you think they should take less from someone else? The Pats aren't even in the NFC.

Is your goal to help yourself, or hurt some other team in the other conference?

Doesn’t look like they need him.

The team that nobody can stop right now, just got better....:shake:

Yeah no shit. The Pats gave up a 2nd. Im sure no one else was even close, so why wouldn't the shitty Falcons take it?

Veach would have probably given up a first and third. Sometimes you don't want these guys making moves.

Giving a 2 for a 30 year old receiver?

That’s not smart, but then again the Pats strength is finding players in FA and from other teams active rosters anyway

Tom French’s Boys

What the **** are you talking about? Sarcasm doesn’t still fly on Chiefsplanet? I’m one of the more positive posters on this board...cynicism. FOH.

Hey, man, we live in trying times. Unless there is a /s at the end I assume everybody is a crazy asshole until proven otherwise. My apologies.

That’s a pretty steep price for an average 30 year old WR that’s a decent #2 at best.

I think its a solid trade for the Pats. They need help on offense. Its a steep price if you ask me, but if you are the 6 time world champs what do you care about a 2nd round pick.

Not convinced we will see the Chiefs do anything, which is odd considering the massive amount of cap space we created. And yes I realize we can roll it over, but we made a guy like Hitchens more expensive moving forward.

We still have 12 picks next year and 4 in the top 3 rounds.

Plenty of draft capital left to do more trades and add youth next year

Don’t really care what your explanation is. Sanu is worth a 4th best.

You mean Sanooze to the Pats.

Sanuva ring

I like the trade. May seem kind of steep, but Sanu is signed through next year. So we get Sanu for a year and half for 2nd rounder. And that needs to be compared with a 2nd rounder pick that if makes the team, plays 4 years.

He is a lower cap hit than other WR on the trading blocks.

He won't last the season

...and I don't care what your valuation is of Sanu as it relates to draft capital

But you felt the need to defend it....

Nothing to defend

Some fans don't understand how the Patriots view picks.

I stated the logic why they parted with a draft pick.

I have no issue with parting with a high pick for a proven WR.

Patriots are good, but come on... The best QB they faced was Ben Roethlisburger with an elbow tendon hanging by a thread. Look at the other QB's they played, not good. The combined records of the teams they've played are a combined 11-27, With Buffalo being 5-1 playing basically the same shitty teams. Buffalo should have won the one and only meeting. Again, NE is good, but the teams, QBs, and schedule they've played is historically bad as well.

What does hkeo mean

I think that's that new oriental way of moving your couch around.

The Patriots really should be trying to find a successor to Brady. He’s more than likely doping but even that won’t keep him going forever.

so, right back first thing this morning, huh?

Chiefs, who haven't won a SB in 50 years, is where you come to gloat?


:shake:

Tom Brady is a pedophile.

A second for Sanu is a HUGE overpay, but whatever, I'm glad they wasted the pick.

And the Pats have played an absolute pile of garbage so far this season (except Buffalo, who they almost lost to), so excuse me if I'm not exactly impressed with their 'dominant' defense so far . . . . .

Maybe they overpaid, i'm pretty sure Bill doesn't care and knows more than us anyway.

You really want to drop a second for a 30 year old WR that has been racking up miles on his legs since Chad Johnson was in the league who doesn’t fit Reid’s system very well?

Why would Veach trade a 2nd rounder for a wide receiver? That would be asinine.

We know he french kissss them...

Given that the Pats are 7-0, they will likely make the playoffs and if they have the good fortune to make it to the AGCCG, the pick will be 60 or so in the draft, so almost in the 3rd round. And be 52 or lower if they lose in the first round.

We have a boat load of picks with a few in the 3rd round, we had draft capital to spare.

Sanu fills a need and we get a proven starter for 1.5 years and give up the chance/potential to have a 4 year starter from the pick. Again potential not proven starter.

Also, he is cap friendly and other WR in the trade market were not. Supply and demand

I like the pick and especially so given the Pats present situation.

This move is a no brainer, specifically if Gordon is out long term and the rookie can't go. They are in the throws of the last year or two of a dynsaty, they should hold on with all their might.

Why the actual **** would BB let someone "beat" him in a trade? Have you not been paying attention for the last TWENTY YEARS?!

JFC.

You guys fail to realize, unlike your suck-ass team that historically sucks ass, a 2 for the Pats is usually like pick #64. A low 2 for Sanu is not a bad deal.

And they’ll have two comps in round 3 so they’ll still have 1, 3, 3, 3.

Can’t believe Atlanta got the same amount for Sanu that we got for Dee Ford. Wow

The good news is the Pats wouldn't have made this move if they intended to bring AB back....

I was almost positive once shit died down, he was coming back for the post-season.

Poor guy. As a receiver, it would stink going from a decent quarterback like Ryan to a washed up quarterback with a noodle arm.

It's a bad deal. You're a huge dumbass homer if you think it's not a bad trade.

But it works for the Pats only because they have picks coming out of their vaginas like Brady on his period. They were desperate for a WR and got what they needed.

But Sanu is NOT worth a pick in the low 60s

He was a teammate at Rutgers with Devin and Jason McCourty.

It is so strange to me that there are so many Patriots fans on this board.

I don’t have an account anywhere else and even if I did, it wouldn’t be a team that’s completely out of the division.

****ing weird TBH.

just an aside that website is kinda cool...here's what it says about our boy Sammy:

https://sportsinjurypredictor.com/pl...y-watkins/6937

Wa...wa...waaaaaaa.....

I'd like to keep this in perspective.


The Pats(can't say the letter RRRRRRRR) haven't beaten ANYONE of note yet. Their schedule to date has been a whose who of who?

**** the Pats. They're an overrated tube sock in a truck stop parking lot.

Signing Brown prevented them from being able to afford Sanders....poetic justice.

OTC has them at $2,431,166 in cap...Sanu is $3.8 mil.

They are maxed out and will have to restructure someone. Risky business with 9 games left...and no money for injury additions.

How hurt is Gordon?...strange move considering the financial handcuffing.

How good will he be without Julio Jones/AJ Green on the other side?

How would anyone know?

THe pats havent finished their division 2 portion of their schedule yet......

They also **** their brothers.

Also weird.

And french kiss their kids. (Hero worship?)

Yes, we are running out of choices. I kind of view it as we are "drafting" Sanu for 1.5 years with the 2nd round pick.

Not sure how long Brady will play and who knows who his placement will be, Stidham or another, and/or of BB will still be around.

So agree fill the need and down the road worry about how fine tune the trade is or isn't

Oh no he didn't, oh yes he did . . . he went there . . . :).

Seriously, be fun to see how the Pats offense does with Sanu and facing the meat of their schedule.

My guess was that AB was not coming back to the Pats. Too much baggage, the media made it a circus, and some of the things he said when he was released.

Some of you are thinking too hard.

TFB - Tom ****ing Brady

I was way off. I was thinking it was Tampering Filming B******s.

Pats went from a team that trades a 4th for Randy Moss to a team that trades a 2nd for a 30 year old WR who's never had over 850 yards.

Mahomes and Watson are living rent free in Bills head.

Turd

Not as far off as you might think!

Totally agree. The QBs who Bill is a collective 5-0 against live rent free in his head.

Wake me up when those douchebags play a real NFL team.

Eventually a 3rd rounder

Hey buddy, how are you today?

Broncos just sent E. Sanders to the 49ers for a couple of mid round picks

a 3rd and a 4th (similar draft value to the 2nd)
Sanders is 2 years older (32 vs. 30)
$6 million cap hit is $2.5 million more than Sanu

Given just these 3 facts, I understand better why BB did what he did with Sanu.

Imagine criticizing a team's moves who have won multiple SBs and feeling confident in those criticisms

* Unless it's on another teams forum to which you have zero association with.

Me too. I find it annoying as **** and I don’t understand why it isn’t moderated.

We've got Pats fans and jags fans debating the merits of trading a 2nd to Atlanta for Sanu... On a chiefs board.
