He moved us up 77 spots in the third day of the draft. Does that sound like the value of a top TE?
Martellus Bennett traded to Patriots

Bennett is a one year rental for the Pats.

Not if he plays well. They can get back to the 2 tight end shit they use to do.

I like Bennett a lot as a player but the 5 million in space has to be mentioned in the deal. Depends what we use that money on. Could use to pay Jeffery without affecting what we had cap wise before the trade.

When Jones is traded for a shitty bust of an OG and a 2nd round pick, B.B. is a genius since he knew that Jones would get paid like crazy and the Pats got something in return before he left.
When Marty's traded for a 4th rounder, because Marty was also on his last year of a contract he wasn't happy with, he would get paid at the end, didn't fit with the new team culture, was a headcase and injured half of last season, and Pace wanted something in return before the player left anyway... but Pace is still an idiot.

Good riddancw
Value bettwr than nothing but depends on which 6th we gave up
4th pick in r 6 vs 3rd to last pick in r4 = moving up a round and a half at best

I liked Marty. He made some great plays. He also dropped some balls, and was slow to get back to the huddle. He was a weird dude and I loved that about him. Fun to listen to. Obviously he wasn't happy here, and we were probably going to cut him. Shame. But I think Pace did good work here. 127 is worth 47 points. That could move you up from 2nd to 1st to snag somebody.

I understand that but the trade value had nothing to do with him.
The trade essentially was Bostic and Bennet for a 4th rd pick.

So it is Marty and Bostic for a 4th at the end of the day.

Exactly. So we wasted a 2nd rd pick on Bostic and a huge TE that won't be easy to replace for a late pick in the 4th rd.

Sweet! We traded Martellus to the Pats.
Hope we talked them into giving up Chandler Jones.
Oh....

Don't forget to count the pick we gave for Rick Mirer.

Oh no one in particular on this site. Sorry I should have clarified. If you go to NFL.com or ESPN and look at the comment section, you'll see a lot of this.

That's why you don't read nfl.com or espn.com comment sections.

The damage was long past done with Bostic and a rapidly declining TE with a gay nickname is easy to replace.
