Probably a good deal for both teams. New England is putting together a nice off-season, it really hurts to say that.

Not a great deal for the saints because they suck at drafting. Losing a young talent that actually panned out for ???

Pats forcing Malcolm Butler to decide if he wants a lesser salary or to not be a perennial AFC champ contender, diabolical.

I wish teams would quit trading with the Cheatriots. Teams always get rolled when dealing with the Cheats. Reminds me of the teams that used to trade with the Yankees from 1996-2005, Yanks would always come out with the much better deal.

Seriously, wouldn't you think by now, with the preponderance of evidence, that teams would realize that if Bill Belichick wants your guy, maybe he might be worth keeping around?

They've had some doozies too. Dominique Easley, Chad Ochocinco, Albert Haynesworth, Chad Jackson, and many others. They've won more than they lost obviously but GOATs Tom and Bill combined with a putrid AFCE have masked some head scratchers in their reign of terror.

In the Panthers case, Ealy wasn't going to make the team and only had one year left on his deal. Sucks to help them out but it was late 4th/early 5th value for free. Why not?

Doesn't it feel like the Patriots are loading up for a final run under Brady? They are crushing the offseason with some shrewd moves. If that team stays reasonably healthy they are going to dominate next season.

Once again Belicheck screws another team in a trade. New Orleans deserves to be exactly the POS they are. He was worth far more and that isn't even arguable by sane standards. By the way... why are you trading elite proven young talent away for nothing? Hey, I have an awesome idea let's give Tyler Lockett for nothing. To New England given they're in the AFC.

I guess Tom Brady will die sometime. Is that the question? I can't wait until the NFL goes back to normal and New England and Pittsburgh suck for 60 years as usual and should. Hell, just make the AFC interesting. It's been 20-25 years and same four suckass cheater teams. I know the AFC is all about legacy teams but this is offensive, ridiculous, and pure stupid.

Like Elway and Manning I want him gone and hope we face that prick in the Superbowl this year and kill him like Peyton and be the actual reason he retires.

Except that in the vast majority of cases, those guys aren't worth half to other teams what they are to the Patriots. How many of these guys have we seen that look like absolute superstars in the Belichick system go on to fail with other teams.

A few have had success elsewhere, like Welker, but most just look like JAGs before and after leaving the Pats.

Randy Moss for a 4th rounder.

Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. In

Breathing out, I know I am breathing out. Out

Breathing in, I notice that my in-breath is deep. Deep

Breathing out, I notice that my out-breath goes slowly. Slow

Breathing in, I calm my whole body. Calm

Breathing out, I feel ease. Ease

Breathing in, I smile (at everything – including my worries!) Smile

Breathing out, I release (everything including all tension) Release
