Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1164205, member: 628"] I don't want to pollute a Bills thread, but the Mankins trade wasn't "dumb". The guy graded out horribly last year, and there were 2 reserve OLmen who graded out better in camp. The Pats were not just staring at taking a big cap hit for a rapidly declining player, but they also weren't certain when, or if, Gronk was going to be Gronk again, and their whole 2 TE system has been in shambles since his injury and the scumbag murderer got pinched. Tampa was desperate for an OLman so BB does what he always does... Sell high. The OL is coming together very well *and* we have a legit 2nd pass-catching TE in Wright now. Maybe it won't work out in the end, but it was far from "dumb". [/QUOTE]
