As much as I like Jamie Collins, in no way is he worth Von Miller money. That's just insane!

That's probably BB's exact quote also.....
Only way to make sense of it is they're getting a #65-68 pick for him now rather than a #97ish pick for him in 2018.
They get the pick a year earlier, a better one, and control his destination rather than watching him finish out his career in New York or Buffalo.

Interesting tidbit from ESPN:
Since Sept. 1, 2014, the Patriots have made 21 trades that either involved a player leaving or coming to New England, the most of any team in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

I was always under the impression that after this season that they were going to keep Collins or Hightower not both. I don't think in their cap situation they could pay 2 $12m/Year linebackers, If that's the situation than IMO they made the right call in keeping Hightower. Not to mention that Butler is a RFA after the season and they're going to want to try and keep Bennett and find a right tackle. I don't think it's a coincidence that the 2 defensive players that played the worst in last years AFC championship game are no longer on the team.(Collins and Jones)
I don't think Belichick is going to make a trade that makes the team worse. Do they always work out? No. But, I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
I agree that I'd rather they keep Hightower, but that decision didn't have to be made until after the season. I think this trade was more about sending a message than anything else. But you're right, how can you argue with the success rate that BB has had. So until proven otherwise: "In Bill We Trust"
The NFL is definitely experiencing TV ratings issues.....Sunday night's WS game 5 crushed the Cowboys-Eagles game.......

Imagine that ....
I gotta think it was expected seeing the Cubs are in it.
Game 5 that saw the Cubs edge the Indians 3-2 on Sunday night pulled a 13.1/21 household rating/share with 23.6 million on FOX. That ranks as the most-watched World Series Game 5 since 1997’s 24.2 million for the then Florida Marlins vs the Indians. It was the highest-rated Game 5 since 2003’s 13.2/21 for the New York Yankees and Marlins and is the most-watched baseball telecast of any kind since the 2011 World Series Game 7 between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals (25.4 million viewers).

A potential Game 7 tomorrow night may shatter the 2011 record. In fact, I think the Cubs win tonight. But then, Corey Kluber secures the MVP as the Indians win game 7
True, but you would think an NFC East matchup would cancel that out (especially one that involves a very good Cowboys team).
I think...and HOPE.. a game 6 WS game between long time "losers" would get higher ratings than a game in the middle of the NFL season...
NFL ratings are indeed down on top of that, would be interested in seeing ratings the last 2-3 years compared to the usage of daily fantasy sites though. With those effectively squelched in many large markets for the time being I wonder what their effect on watcher enthusiasm is.
