    Trade Mankins to Carolina for DeAngelo Williams???

    posted at 9/18/2010 9:53 AM EDT

    We can do without Mankins and possibly draft one early next year. DeAngelo is a free agent after the season anyway so possibly we can extend his contract. Carolina has Stewart and Goodson who would be a good 1-2 punch, then they get a probowler in Mankins they can put at right guard to solidfy that line if Otah comes back. Not saying Carolina would do this deal but they would get a pretty good addition to that line.

    well, we can throw out suggestion after suggestion but the fact of the matter is that the options are limited and any trade will be difficult.

    Most importantly, Mankins is a free agent so the Pats can't just trade him.  They would probably have to let his agent find a team that Mankins is willing to go to, and then that team will have to be willing to pay him huge $$, and meet the Pats demand for compensation.  A lot of moving parts.

    In reality, how many teams will be willing to give up a high draft pick, or good player, and then give Mankins $60 million??  I really don't see a rebuilding team like Carolina going that route.

    I think the only possibility would be a team like Dallas that is expected to compete but has major issues on their line.

    I would love that trade, but dont see it going down.  Too many issues with any player trades, much less one with a player not under contract.

    I wish we would make a move like this, but I don't see it happening.  I would actually prefer Stewart, but it's likely that Carolina and Fox do too considering he is cost controlled and younger.  I would be willing to offer our 1st next season for Williams assuming we could extend him before the deal.  I think the Pats are one of two things away from seriously competing for the Superbowl:

    1.  A work horse running back with home run potential that defenses have to respect (making Tom that much better, and getting Tom hit that much less)

    or

    2.  A top flight, top 5 nfl pass rush OLB.

    If a trade cant be worked out...and this kid DeAngelo hits free agency..We better make a serious run for him. He would complete our offense and make it completely dangerous. Allowing us to focus on Defense and O-line during the draft. Did I say bye bye Moss..and spend that money in signing Dwill.

    We just tosssed maroney for a reason guys.  I bet we draft Ingram with that oakland pick in the first round.  I mean getting rid of maroney doesnt make any sense unless you plan to shore that up with someone thats not 33+ years old.

    Glad the ball is Mankin's court.... His agent(s) have to do all of the work to find a team to agree to a contract and come up with trade the Patriots would accept.

    I think this will take a long time.....

    hahahahahaha
    no way that trade goes down
    Dallas would be a better candidate for a RB since they have a super-surplus at RB and no o-line
    i think a Mankins for Tachard Choice and a 2012 3rd rounder would be a fair deal for each team
