Bill traded him when he was 29. And what did he do with the 1st rd pick he got for him? He drafted Nate Solder, who was their LT for like 8 years.

He traded Seymour looking for his THIRD contract as he entered his 30s for a 1st round pick
two seasons later. They hadn't won a SB in 4 seasons at the time and wouldn't win another one for another SIX.
You're talking about trading a 24 year old CB for roughly the value of a mid-2nd. Coming off 3 straight SBs.
You willing to wait another 6 years for a SB like Belichick and Brady did?
Moreover, they didn't do it to appease Brady. The Patriots had Matt Light at LT when they traded Seymour. Light was a Pro Bowl OT who played for 3 more years AFTER that deal. Nick Kaczur started at RT for them. Then Vollmer.
They didn't even draft Solder until 2 seasons later in 2011. The Seymour deal had absolutely NOTHING to do with Tom Brady and everything to do with simply not wanting to pay Seymour into his 30s.
No, they're not analogous situations.
Man, if you thought you had something there, try again. That's an AWFUL comparison. Your efforts are going further and further downhill here.
You've gone 'round the bend with this shit.
