I wouldn't trust anything that pig belichick is selling..  JD certainly doesn't seem to mind parting with draft picks for questionable returns.

remember when Maccagnan traded a 4th round pick for Ryan Clady’s desiccated corpse

[New York Mick 95,350]

Not sure why they gave the Pats a pick even if it’s a 6th especially for a Thomas. 

[pdxgreen 4,915]

This is the equivalent to the villain of an 80's action movie handing the hero a towel after beating him senseless.  And the sad thing... the beating hasn't come yet.

Well, it won't help the team much... but it least this will prove to @Barry McCockinner

that Demaryius can't separate.

Q is vastly overrated by Jets. I root for him. He's a Jet. I ain;t killing Q.

But he is constantly hurt. DT has some size. Was w/ GAse in Denver ...  or am i trippin?

He’s better than Enunwa, and the WR group needed improvement.  

He’s better than the guy they just gave 20 million guaranteed to? He may have been a few years ago, but I’m assuming there is a reason he was cut from training camp and then made inactive when they did bring him back. Oh. And the WRs don’t matter if the QB has no time to throw. You aren’t improving the WRs by trading for Thomas.

I just don’t like wasting ANY draft capital. Those late round picks can be used to move around the draft. Flexibility is important and I just don’t see the value of Thomas. He seemed to fall off a cliff. Just hope for the best I guess. 

[slimjasi 10,335]

I’ve been on the “we need another WR” train for awhile, so I’m in

[Ghost420 863]

Are people really crying over a 6th round pick

Ok there Crazy Carl.

The season isn’t over but Thomas’s career is.

I look forward to seeing you complain about someone catching a TD for your favorite team.

pats ok trading with us  cause  they know we represent zero threat to them

Thats what Francessa just said.

[genot 2,088]

Hey  Tedd. How bout that Joe Douglass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nj meadowlands 26,495]

How anyone can react in any way other than WITH COMPLETE ******* CYNICISM at this trade is beyond me

[SR24 3,999]

This is a good move for a 6th rounder. Sam needs all the help he can get

[BROOKLYN JET 7,036]

WOW, the Pats have no worries about the Jets at all.

[Bruce Harper 3,859]

Doesn't this just prove how unthreatened the Cheats are by the NYJs?

Yes, let us enjoy bitching it’s the only thing we have left.

5th..  and it was a better gamble than a 6th for 15 games.

[Untouchable 14,648]

Not bad for a 6th rounder two years from now.

We desperately need a big bodied X receiver.

Obviously Thomas isn’t the player he once was, but he can still contribute and has past ties to Gase.

[Paradis 11,133]

Bey bey is done.

oh ok nevermind

[JETSfaninNE 2,071]

who do we cut?  DT ain't playing specials right?

[DJF71 1,408]

He has absolutely nothing left.  There is no way the Pats would help the Jets.

 

[jgb 27,749]

I wouldn’t trade a 6th round draft pick for a Pats 1st rounder. Bill never makes a deal in good faith especially not with the hated Jets.

Don't hate it but not super excited

Can he kick FG’s? 

[greasyt 16]

If my memory is correct, this is the first time that the Pats & Jets have engaged in a trade since Belichick has been with the Pats.  He's struck a deal with every other team in the league, but us............until now.

They were probably going to cut him and figured they'd take the 6th for him.

JD is playing fantasy football with our roster.

Yes, the optics on this are humiliating.  They should have thrown in a few CB's and a K just to rub it in our faces even more.

Belicheat will use that 6th rounder we just gave up and turn it into Tom Brady part 2

I hope they check Thomas for every horrible contagious disease I would not put germ warfare beyond Belicheat.

I would not have made this trade..  the fact the Pat's agreed should have been a huge red flag...  kind of insulting actually.  They clearly view the jets as a bottom feeder.

[TokyoJetsFan 2,097]

I bet he comes in with frost bitten feet, an unofficial helmet, and misses practices just so he can re-sign with the pats.

[Alentador31 238]

Love that we aren't sitting on our hands. Clearly an upgrade to our roster - upgrades don't have to be huge upgrades to make a difference. We are not going to fix our problems long term right now, all we can do is apply band aids until next years draft/free agency. I am more than fine with this move. He can be a veteran leader for our WRs and can serve as a big veteran body for Sam to throw to. Good move. A 2021 6th round pick is not a big deal. 

 

Also to add, according to Gase the WRs weren't making the right reads on their routes as well. DT has experience in Gase's system so he will probably help in this aspect as well.
