Blockbuster deal: Patriots traded LB Jamie Collins to Cleveland for a compensatory third-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

that's a bargain.

 

[Smokey Robinson]

What? I thought you can't trade compensatory picks. I am assuming he meant conditional? Even still seems like a win for the Browns at that price.

you can starting this year.

 

[Smokey Robinson]

you can starting this year.

Great price for a hell of a player.

 

[legendxofxlink]

He won't be the same player for Browns. Nobody is

 

[Washington]

It can't be a compensatory pick because compensatory picks for next year are not even known yet. It has to be conditional unless I am missing something obvious here.

BB strikes again.

 

[onebud34]

Can he play QB?

 

[legendxofxlink]

This move is all about the Shea Mac pushing himself into a starting role. No more room for you Collins, out the way

that's a bargain.

Eh, not really. His contract is up at the end of this season. It's a 3rd round pick for a half-season rental.

yeah didn't realize that until after I posted that. Belichick dodges another huge contract extension.

word here is that collins was going rogue, he's a FA year end and was starting to go for sacks when the defense called for something else, he was trying to build up his resume on belichick's watch...c ya

Browns must be loading up for their late-season playoff run

I wouldn't doubt that Belichek was probably calling him to drop into coverage more so that his contract would be cheaper at the end if the year. Lol

 

[dennehy]

Browns are probably willing to pay him what the Pats wouldn't. REad he turned down $11mil per year, but didn't see how many years or how much guaranteed $.

 

[bears26]

Very surprised trade but Patriots do not care about anyone besides Brady. They do not like paying players.

 

[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

This is really surprising. Haven't watched much Pats but I thought Collins was one of their better players.

 

[WindyCity]

This is really surprising. Haven't watched much Pats but I thought Collins was one of their better players.

Apparently he has not been very good this season and has been free lancing and he also wants "Von Miller" money.

Surprised it was only a 3rd, but when he wants 100 million that kills leverage a bit.

 

[Warden of the Northeast]

He went from the best team to the worst team...that's rough.
