I was of that mind when bill traded lawyer Malloy and ty law. I had never fathomed trading great players away. Over the yrs he kept doing it and the team tgat traded for the guy almost always had it blowup in their face. But the fans at first were mad but over time saw the wisdom. I do not think Baltimore fans are more stupid than Boston.
On the trade front now is a particularly hot time to go for it. Brady will retire imenently. The saints and Denver are desperate for a qb. That is 3 teams with an aspirations thinking they are a playcaller away. Then add in a hand full of teams tgat would love a guy they feel can fix their franchise. A bidding war is possible.
