He got great value for a guy they had no intentions of extending.

Terrible trade. BB is outsmarting himself. You have to pay someone. You can't just pay everyone on your team 5 million or less. Sometimes you have to overpay to keep your best guys. It's not like they're paying Brady Joe Flacco money. Getting rid of your best defensive player for a scrub guard and a draft pick is stupid. Pass rushers are a premium, not a guard. Makes no sense to me.

Doesn't Belichik always pull sh*t like this all the time though? Getting rid of their best players so they don't have to pay them (if they feel that they can be replaced). Yet it always ends up working out for them.
