OT- Saints(Cooks)/Patriots(Butler) trade rumor

[sportznutt]

Not sure why we didn't offer a second and a third for him. Throw in a fourth next season. The difference between the Pats first and our second is a bakers dozen picks. The fact that other teams help the rich get richer is sickening.

While i loathe the Spurs, it's probably the last time we ever see these types of dynasty runs in sports.

And the Pats not picking until the 3rd rounds is meaningless with them. Heck they could go an entire draft w/o a single pick and it probably wouldn't matter one bit for the season. They'd still be the SB favorites

Plus, here comes a 1st or a couple of 2nd rounders for Jimmy G.

don't forget signing Stephen Gilmore, a Pro-Bowl CB.

People need to stop saying "what would the Patriots do" in comparison to us. NO TEAM in ANY SPORT at this point can be compared to how that organization is run.

Spurs? 20 straight years of making the playoffs, excellent coach, GM, culture, and great drafting/FA decisions.
