I'll admit I'm a little dumbfounded by the Jamie Collins trade.
We've been reeling the last few days with all the UT crap, now this. It seems like a completely insane move, but this
is Belichick's message..."I don't care who you are, do what you're told, or we will ship your ass to the worst team in
the league."
Collins was arguably our best defender, but he's been losing snaps over the last 4 weeks, and was woefully out of position
against Buffalo on an early 28 yard gain. Mike Lombardi tweeted that Collins was doing a lot of "freelancing" and we all know
how thats dealt with in NE. But his worst transgression was asking for Von Miller $$$, Tom Brady doesn't make Von Miller
money. The timing seems weird in the middle of a title run, but I think this was a wakeup call to the team more than anything.
But losing our 2 best defensive players for a 2nd and 4th round pick is maddening.
