Patriot Players "Blindsided" By Collins Trade

[Favre4Ever+ 4,476]

As it turns out, we aren't alone in scratching our heads over the New England Patriots' latest blockbuster. Collins' former teammates are still trying to process the loss of a 2015 second-team All-Pro selection.

"Jamie is a huge piece of our defense, arguably our best defensive player," Pro Bowl safety Devin McCourty said in an interview with CSN New England. "So there's gonna be a lot of changes that come from this move and I think as players that has to be our focus -- how do we fix things and get things going in a positive direction."

To hear McCourty tell it, Patriots players were blindsided by the move.

"When you get a guy like Jamie who was here for four years, on the team, very productive player," McCourty explained, "to lose him is a bit shocking I think to everyone on the team."

They will get over it because Hoodie... but should the Pats have shipped Collins who they likely would have gotten a 3rd round pick for anyway?

The real reason Belichick traded Collins.

What's crazy to me is that no playoff contender tried to give up a 2nd for him before the Browns got him.

 

It'd be funny if BB was planning on placing some of Collins' responsibilities on KVN this whole time, though.
