Ealy had 14 sacks in 3 seasons, that's god awful for a guy whose never faced a double team in his life.

 

It's funny Patriots fans think they got a steal cause "he was a beast in the super bowl hurr durr". Completely disregarding his entire career

I dunno seems like giving up alot for 1 player.  And per gettlemen, you are never 1 player away.

One could argue that yesterday's haul shored up a lot of areas, making it easier to focus on a smaller number of immediate-impact players.

That was my first thought as well.  If you just want that pick why do the trade now.  Wait until draft day and do it then once you make sure the player that you want is still available.  The only thing that makes sense is using this to trade up. I just hope it's not to move up from 8 to 3 to draft fournette.  This draft is too deep to turn 2 or 3 picks in to one.  If mccaffry is the guy I would rather them take him at 8 or trade down.

The Patriots are flippers.  Just like an investor who finds the worst house on the best street, they will get great production out of Ealy. Its what they do.

I heard the same thing with Mingo, I guess they couldn't afford his 2 million dollar contract 

Im almost willing to bet by this time next year Ealy will be a FA

And they capitalize on his productivity and gain cap flexibility.  He performs and gets a good contract.

Flip this player: New England

They also fail trying frequently.

What productivity? What good contract? Mingo didn't do squat. And they didn't flip him for anything.

Kony has had the best DT duo in the NFL since he got drafted and wasn't able to produce.

      It would depend on how we lost... If we lose a bunch of 17-13 . 20-7 type games where the defense plays well and offensively Bryce is sh***TING the bed...then he wouldn't get fired.  If we are losing 40-9, 38-14 type games..then yeah it's a possibility.   Couple that with our tough schedule.. if we show well in lets say half those games.. win either Seattle or New England game, at least 1 win vs division oponents.. he's good.  So imo.. to get fired he needs to : Loose badly against the top tier teams ie Blown out Show no progress offensively from last year. Show an unwillingness to bench Bryce again if he is horrible over multiple games ..  Get swept by the Saints again.

      I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.
