Wait.... Why not both?? Could Patriots STILL be in on Superstar A.J. Brown, even after the Romeo Doubs deal? Do the Patriots still need the 'game changing WR1? Does the Doubs deal create leverage?
Transcript
00:00um yeah 781 tech speaking of poop have you guys discussed the patriots wide receiver signing
00:08we have extensively yeah this morning we have discussed we have discussed that extensively
00:13this morning so i i mean i i think i like i like the move but it's a 1b move
00:18i mean
00:19romeo dobbs was good in green bay he's dealt with some injuries right he as i agree with chime he's
00:26probably uh a step down from steph diggs but he's probably i wouldn't even say also he hasn't
00:34really even dealt with injuries he's played 16 games in two of the last three years right but
00:4113 games that other year right right so not like a bunch of injuries is what i'm saying but i
00:46would
00:46look at when you look at your wide receiver room i wouldn't say that romeo dobbs is so much better
00:53than everybody in there now correct so it's like you made a better worse than diggs worse than diggs
01:00so then that's the issue that's the issue right there if it was diggs and romeo dobbs and then
01:05everybody else i'd be cool with that but because diggs is no longer it's you didn't get better you
01:10got worse but i mean they clearly wanted to go younger right i mean that's their issue with diggs
01:16that and they didn't want to pay him okay but they're paying uh romeo dobbs like 17 17 million
01:23with a chance for it to be 20 so i don't for a chance so 17 if they were going
01:28to pay diggs it
01:29would have been 21 i believe this year i mean that's not a major difference no and it's four
01:33million dollars it's not yeah but you also could have like restructured like there i know i understand
01:38that but i i think that they looked at it and go why would we pay diggs 21 million because
01:43if i'm diggs
01:43i'm not restructuring taking less money right unless i'm restructuring and i'm getting a big
01:48chunk up front they're probably saying why would we pay diggs 21 million when we could pay dobbs
01:5317 and a possibility to maybe get up to 20 who's going to kind of give us maybe not the
02:00same
02:00production but a little bit less i mean they must really believe that they have a chance at aj brown
02:07i would hope so a legitimate chance at getting aj brown yeah i would hope so i would hope that
02:12they're
02:12like all right here's what philly wants let's play chicken until we have to give that up give that
02:22up but courtney brought up a great point you run the risk of another team jumping in and going we'll
02:28give you our first round pick for uh aj brown especially a team like the ravens now who have
02:32both their first round picks back and can sign trey hendrickson in free agency and then trade for aj brown
02:37right it's it is a little egregious what they want for aj brown if if the reports are true that
02:44they want like a first second and a player then yeah that's insane right that's way too much i think
02:50they got him for only a first and a third am i correct about that yes you are yep and
02:56that was
02:56a considerable time yeah that was like four years ago five years ago so and they're probably thinking
03:02like most teams that are not the philadelphia eagles are going aj brown good wide receiver but
03:10we'll give you a second round he's not worth the first round that's that's probably what they're
03:14thinking and philly's like no we think he's worth the first round there and now it becomes a game of
03:21chicken but you got to be concerned like shyme says now baltimore gets their picks back with they
03:28they were in the market for maybe another wide receiver to to add along um zay flowers say they
03:34are unable to get aj brown rank that receiver room right now you compared to the rest of the league
03:40no no no like the top five do you have you have do you have dobbs number one yeah matt
03:46collins number
03:47two booty number two uh matt collins see i think matt collins you know he got hurt right i think
03:57matt
03:57matt collins was had a legitimate good season for this football but booty had a great season matt
04:03collins is a fine player as a third or a fourth yeah yeah he doesn't he he's he doesn't get
04:08seven
04:08eight 900 yards right season and that's all of them pop douglas booty matt collins they are all
04:15probably third wide receivers good role players yes you know on your team they're they're probably not
04:23if you're going these are our ones and twos then you probably have some issues right if you have
04:30aj brown and then you have all those guys you could kind of slot them in where you need them
04:35to be like
04:35maybe matt collins gives you a little bit more in this game maybe pop douglas gives you a little bit
04:39more in this game but defensively teams go okay we have to shut down and make sure we know where
04:46aj brown
04:47is every play and this is a move that has so many positives to it right so if you get
04:52them that
04:53means the bills obviously not in them now but the other afc teams that might have been interested are
04:56not getting them it means that you're receiving core everybody drops down a spot so instead of you
05:03know dobbs being your one he's your two matt collins is your three pop a four whatever and you get
05:08to
05:08see what this offense would look like when you have a legitimate number one something that drake may
05:14didn't have in his first two seasons aj brown is a much better player right than steph diggs and if
05:19you incur i don't know if it's curtis or shy who brought up the teams that are ahead of you
05:23there were you know a couple of those teams were like curtis said afc team so if he goes to
05:29the
05:29charge i mean odds wise when it comes to super bowl super yeah right and if he goes to the
05:33charges
05:34for example and that's a team that you played in the postseason wouldn't you much rather if you have
05:38to play them again in the playoffs wouldn't you much rather you have aj brown versus if they have
05:44aj brown of course so i think that that's the way you have to look at it because if you're
05:48going
05:49into if you go into training camp with just your receiver room as is and i think what they might
05:57do
05:57is take a flyer on a guy like tyree kill debo samuels because i know gronk was like well aj
06:04brown's
06:04the best guy out there that you could probably get true but you're gonna have to take a flyer on
06:08one of
06:09those other guys because you're wide receiver room you're gonna say well do we go in with the
06:14only addition being romeo dobbs how do you feel about that well patriots have signed
06:19you
