  2. Nope. No thanks. Slow as hell, often injured. We’re past the days of exclusively signing guys past their prime on the cheap. At least I hope.

  3. Pass. 1st round qb. 2nd round Ot/wr. 3rd round ot/wr. Best available rest of the draft. No reason to pay another aging WR while we suck.

  5. “wE MiSSEd oUT oN rIDLeY, kRAFt iS thE woRST”

    What about a guy a year younger than him who performed roughly the same with a much worse surrounding cast?

    “nO wAY He SUCkS anD iS oLD anD waS NEvER a 90 iN mADDen”

    r/Patriots continues to be at the forefront of substantial player analysis!

  7. Why is it news or noteworthy about a receiver signed to another team?

    If he was potential trade bait he’d already have been dealt ages ago.

  8. I feel like our roster is full of guys like him. Higgins or Ayuk could be WR1 trade targets but not Sutton.

  9. In theory, Sutton was a perfectly fine trade target under his current contract ($17MM/year over the next 2) – we know how expensive Ridley got, and the WR market will continue to explode once Amon-Ra St. Brown and Nico Collins get extended, let alone the JJ/Chase/Lamb deals. 17 mil a year would be a relative bargain for a team with a ton of cap space for the next couple years, and for an X receiver who could allow us to either focus on OT at #34 or pick a dynamic Z WR over forcing an X in the draft. He is definitely better than anyone we’ve had at that spot in a long time and unlike Parker has at least maintained his level of play after 2019.

    But since he wants a new contract too, that’s where I’m out. If I’m going to do trade compensation (even if it’s cheap, probably similar to the Cooper/Jeudy trades) and then add a big money deal, I’d at least want a younger player who can be in their prime for the length of our rookie QB contract, and ideally a player who has room to grow as the true #1 focal point of an offense.

  10. Smart of Sutton wanting a new deal. His stats are going to suck without Jeudy and Wilson.

  11. Sutton is OK but idk. Don’t think it improves the team that much. He’d be a good red zone threat. No one is going to trade big assets for him if he wants a new contract and the broncos aren’t going to just give him away for Pennies.

    This could only go poorly IMO
