Callahan: Robert Kraft should command Patriots to sell at NFL trade deadline

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:59:29 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The next time Bill Belichick engages with the media, wait for a thorny question about his decision-making.Whether it pokes at his roster management, in-game management or a play-call doesn’t matter. Odds are Belichick will follow with some version of this answer: “We did what we thought was best for the football team.”It’s a verbal binky for Belichick. Through this blanket response, he simultaneously tells the truth without revealing anything and often halts the line of questioning. Inevitably, we all move on.Well, here’s a question: with the NFL’s trade deadline two days away, what is in the best interest of the 2-6 Patriots?Selling, of course.Forget a path to the playoffs. After going 1-of-9 on third down in Miami, these Patriots need directions just to move the chains. There is no sense in adding cargo onto a sinking ship.It’s time to offload.The Dolphins out-gained the Patriots by close to a 2:1 ratio Sunday a...
