Teddy may have another suitor...

The Athletic's Jeff Howe said the Patriots "have had conversations regarding every potential [quarterback] trade target in the league."

Howe reports that head coach Bill Belichick and the New England organization are keen on upgrading at the QB position but "have so far been thwarted by inflated prices in an offseason that is currently siding with the sellers." The Patriots spoke to the Lions about acquiring Matthew Stafford and to the Eagles about trading for Carson Wentz, though the team was never considered a serious contender to land either quarterback. Howe mentioned Sam Darnold, Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota, and Jimmy Garoppolo as signal callers who could be pursued by Belichick in the coming weeks. The team is a decidedly unfavorable landing spot for incoming QBs unless and until they upgrade their skill position players -- some of the worst in the NFL. The Patriots haven't ruled out re-signing Cam Newton, whose season with the team could most charitably be described as forgettable. Howe said the team -- which holds the 15th pick in this spring's NFL Draft -- could trade up and take one of the top three or four QBs.

Please, Belichick, make it happen. We'll give you him for a 5th rounder, that's peanuts for a starting QB!

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Back in the day, Marty tried to swing a trade of Julius Peppers for two second rounders but Belichick said no.

Don't figure we'd ask for anything close to that big a return for Bridgewater.

A day 3 pick or a player-for-player swap is the best I think we could do. 

I'd take a cold ham sandwich AND offer to pet sit Belichick's dog for free while he goes on vacation.  You think he'd settle for that?
