Hurney: Pep to New England a "no go"

[CharlotteBeer.com]

I'm okay with the 34th overall and another pick/player.

[hdevonxz]

If it's the 34th overall, I'm actually OK with it.

No way in hell.

The FO low balled it with the Jenkins trade, but at least got multiple picks.

34th ALONE is ridiculous.

That doesn't say that the trade won't happen. It really just likes like Hurney is covering his butt...legally.

[Proudiddy]

I don't trust a whole lot of what Hurney says either because of his job, but I still think you can read a lot into what he says... For instance, look at his comments regarding Ken Lucas after the failed trade. You could tell he was saying Lucas was gone without actually saying it.

Tampering is an issue that any team would want to avoid but it is hard to prove and I doubt any of the parties involved here would have an issue with it if a deal was in the works. So who would snitch if all parties are happy with the deal?

That's why I think this is Hurney's way of saying, "it ain't gonna happen." He seemed to take Pep's stance personal once we placed the tag on him with his "two first rounders" comment. Hurney's holding out for the best deal possible and I think this trade has been another rumor generated by the media to leave the average fan awe-struck with the Pats potential all-pro lineup. We'll see what happens...

And btw, if the NFL didn't get the Bears for tampering on Moose's signing or the Skins for Haynesworth, then I don't see them intervening when it comes to their prized Patriots getting another huge name.

in a word? No, I mean Yes. Um No? No, it will be yes. Maybe. Could be no but I'm betting on Yes.

if they think the player they want will be there at 34 why take them in the first?

orakpo and raji will be gone by the patriots first.

[Brooklyn Bully]

ummm... all that says is that he is covering his tracks. he can't legally say they are in trade talks

This.

[mountainpantherfan]

I think that the fact that Hurney said that he hasn't been told of any trade possibilities by Pep's agent says a lot to me. I think this might be Pep's people leaking a false story trying to get Hurney to show his hands.

being that it's a 34th 2nd round it may as well be a damn 3rd round pick

awww you're so cute

[ThatGuy]

one 2nd round pick... i dont think it will happen, but the good thing is there are still talks goin on. Teams have to want him... its only a matter of time. besides it would be real F'in hard to sign any rookies or D-list player's when we only have a few mill in cap. Pep wont be here.
