My guess is that the pick was the central part of the deal, and Wright was a throw in.ManuManu wrote:I think it's all of the above.

Re: Pats trade for TE Tim Wright???
Well Tim Wright owners.... Here's your chance to sell him rather than eventually dropping him. I see very little weekly startability for Wright in New England.
This move was made because the Pats got a pretty decent pick and cleared a ton of cap space. The Pats also have interior Offensive linemen they like who were blocked by Mankins. So ship off Mankins, get cap relief, add a good draft pick and grab a player who can play a few snaps at position of weakness. Its a win for New England but if anyone thinks Wright is the next Aaron Hernandez their crazy imo. He wont see the usage Hernandez saw and isn't as talented.

You're right. In fact, someone just tweeted that Belichick has been trying to trade for Wright for weeks.ManuManu wrote:I wouldn't call him a throw-in, but certainly the pick was the centerpiece.Jules wrote:My guess is that the pick was the central part of the deal, and Wright was a throw in.ManuManu wrote:I think it's all of the above.

Wright is available in FA in my leagues, both teams.
I can't see a guy I want to drop for Wright, especially for Team 1. Team 2 hasnt drafted yet

Re: Pats trade for TE Tim Wright???
Nice. Just picked up T.Wright off waivers last week and nearly simultaneously made a move to acquire Martin in a different league. Happy to for D.Martin as a solid upgrade at the O-Line is exactly what he and TB needed. Have realistic expectations for Wright in NE. Not a huge deal but it definitely helps his stock. Curious to see how Belichick and Brady will include Wright.
Interesting to say the least.

Re: Pats trade for TE Tim Wright???
Wright isn't very good, sucked in college, hasn't been great as a pro, and is more WR. So just b/c he switches teams right before the season starts, he has more value? And as the mythical New England "move TE?"
LMAO - you guys are smoking crack if you think he's going to take over Hernandez's role.

There are a few good rosters in the league. Hoping someone drops a better player for him. I picked him up in a couple ppr leagues, dropped Allen Robinson off my redraft teams for him.

I'm not sure what metrics you use to define "hasn't been great as a pro", but statistically speaking Wright's rookie season of 54-571-5 was one of the Top 12 rookie TE seasons of all time (in just 13 games**), believe it or not...DLFiend wrote:Wright isn't very good, sucked in college, hasn't been great as a pro.

**Jordan Reed would be on this list too if not for his injury-shortened rookie year last year where he logged in 45-499-3.
i mean, Terrence Williams is on this list along with guys like the immortal Dustin Keller, John Carlson, and Tony Moeaki. It's a stretch, at best, to think that b/c he was some relevant last year after Mike Williams went down, that he is somehow a good TE. In reality or fantasy.
He only had numbers last year b/c TB literally had nobody else and V-Jax was triple covered all the time.
Wright's not good, guys. He's basically another Brandon LaFell who plays TE. Incredible, I know.
