1. Desperation.

3. If we could all just broaden our view of NFL front offices beyond our own, we would see that there are plenty of times when other FO's make moves just as stupid as most of the ones our FO makes.

When have the Patriots under Bill Belichick ever been desperate or made a desperate move? They always draft and develop players well.

Perhaps, I was a bit off-topic if the conversation was supposed to be strictly about the Patriots. I was talking about any of the many NFL FO's making a move for Reed.

You are right, you all's conversation did say "someone", not necessarily Patriots.
I just saw the trade Reed conversation spin off the talk of Gronk's retirement and that they might 'need' a TE.
I still think everyone in the NFL has a copy Reed's long injury list and are fully aware of his concussion issues.
I am not sure if the Redskins released him today, Reed might be out of football?
With all of the documented CTE concerns, Reed might be better off retiring like Gronk. But Reed may not be ready financially or is in denial.

I will reiterate he is not worth the close to $10million dollar cap hit in the next three years on his current contract. It is not his talent it his health. It is time to cut him.

If Reed was released today, he'd have a home fairly quickly. The TE market wasn't very good for FA.

Sure he would get picked up, but won't get paid any where close to what the Redskins are paying him.
