    We need help at LB. It Would be a good way to screw over the Pats.

    I read a report that Collins was freelancing alot, which led to his trade. Do we really need a freelancing linebacker?

    I read article on him that he was not playing as he should be playing. They were ripping him pretty good about not doing what he was supposed to. You really think the Pats would have traded him otherwise?

    He'll get one or two years of his million dollar paycheck and then retire. He doesn't even like football and has said as much. In other words, he's in it for the money and only the money.

    I can't figure out if this post is serious?

    Why would the Browns trade away a player they just traded for? Answer, we give them more than they gave up, and they gave up a 3rd round pick.

    I also don't know how this would screw over the Pats, since they no longer wanted him on the team.

    We already have a 100 mil player on D, no way we can afford 2 of them, so no chance we would be able to sign him, we would just be spending a 2nd round pick on a half year rental.

    He would NOT have fit in with our defense. The coaches came right out and said one of the biggest reasons why our D struggled to start the season...was defensive players going off script. This was one of the reasons why Bill B traded him....

    In a stunning move on Monday, the Patriots decided to ship Jamie Collins to the Browns for what is believed to be a compensatory third-round pick in 2017. Maybe we should have seen it coming. Multiple media members who cover the Patriots have pointed out that Collins' play has either slipped or has been an issue for Bill Belichick lately, and an offseason interview with Collins reveals one habit that Belichick might not love. While talking with the Improper Bostonian, Collins was asked what kind of football he likes to watch and his answer was basically "none." The inclusion of Chandler Jones, who was traded to the Cardinals this offseason, in the quote is revealing as well.

    Were you expecting someone else? As another poster commented, I honestly do not know if this is a serious question regarding a guy who was already traded 15 hours before this was posted.

    Lombardi specifically called out an example.

    Collins played almost every snap through 4 games. BB started to sit him more and more.

    Could be many things that the average fan can't gleam from just watching the games, and that only somebody part of the Patriots organization really knows.

    Collins probably did. Or Bill put up with it, but impending free agent, gonna get paid a lot, and Elandon Roberts happened.

    What he said in the offseason about him and Chandler Jones probably didn't help.

    How many times is ok? If each player on defense says "I only did it once." That is 11 plays screwed up. On this one they gave up 28 yards.

    No it isn't serious in any way. Realistically the Browns wouldn't flip him unless we offered better than a 3rd rounder next year for him.

    Just a thought bubble, but I thought it would be amusing to get a player the Pats thought they had traded out of the division back in the division and telling us about their playbook.

    They say they pulled him on obvious running downs. If so, they probably viewed him as a huge liability on those downs and that maybe where he did the most freelancing (or just blowing assignments). He went from a 100% player to 48/78,

    Why would BB put up with freelancing, when he's put so much effort into finding out exactly what the other team is gonna call......
