Do not approve if this goes down but might as well. Another pathetic D likely sends coach packing. Go down swinging.

Hold your breath.

SFIAH

And per the NFL rules, the Patriots can't even talk about trading him until he signs his tender. It's considered negotiating in bad faith.

Not that the NFL would ever go after Belichick or Payton.

Now we get to see what pick we're giving up in the wink-wink deal...

Please don't let the Pats do a mind job on you Payton. Hold your ground for hells sake!!!

Don't forget about the calming influence Ireland has in the war room. Stick to your guns for the second rounder and a player we don't need that they like.

Ugh, I am not happy about this as the draft nears...

... a 7th rounder?

I've always believed that #32 was a placeholder for Butler. Which is fine because we'd blow that pick on some 3rd round prospect.

Pro bowl CB M. Butler for #42 Huge Win
For # 32 is really trading Cooks for Butler not nearly as good but not terrible.
Butler is much more of a sure thing than any rookie and is game ready now!
Day one Butler makes us a better Defense!
Salary is a big concern.
I am wondering if we wait and see how the draft plays out before we pull the trigger on this trade
I am wondering why we did not go harder at some of the other FA CB
