LIJetsFan Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2018/2/27/17059520/rookie-deal-rentals-nfl-marcus-peters-philadelphia-eagles for full article: Like most new trends, renting rookie deals started with Bill Belichick. Last season, the Saints sent star wide receiver Brandin Cooks and a fourth-rounder to New England in exchange for the Patriots’ first- and third-round picks. “In Bill Belichick’s mind, having two years of Cooks on a rookie deal was more valuable to the Pats than having four years (and a fifth-year team option) of a player he could have taken with the 32nd overall pick,” The Ringer’s Robert Mays noted in his year-end lessons in team-building. “Belichick was willing to pay a premium for certainty.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is how I feel about Cousins. Yes, different situation but after the failed Sanchez development here, I want CERTAINTY! We might not win, look at Phillip Rivers & Mathew Stafford but our odds are much higher with Cousins than the crap shoot that the draft is regarding QBs. Belichick is always 1 step above the means, but he can get away with it because he's always had Brady to save his azz. Could you imagine how bad the Pats would have looked in their down defensive years with Brady pulling wins out of his azz? He has more 4th quarter comeback wins than any QB in history. That my friends covers a LOT OF WARTS. The Pats didn't even PUNT in the Super Bowl & lost, what are the odds of that ever happening again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcJet Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Gotta hand it to Mac for this. Seattle Received: Richardson, 2018 seventh-round pick New York Received: 2018 second-round pick, WR Jermaine Kearse, 2018 seventh-round pick Jets GM Mike Maccagnan getting a second-round pick and a starting wide receiver for Richardson is a great haul on its own, and it’ll be worth its weight in gold if Richardson ends up signing back with the New York in March, as some reports have indicated. For Seattle, the deal was part of an all-in campaign for one more Super Bowl, but––womp womp––the Seahawks missed the playoffs. Now they lost the pick and may not re-sign Richardson. Sometimes when you reach for a closing window, your fingers get crushed. Verdict: Take a bow, Mike Maccagnan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
