What are the Pats giving up - any word?
 
Love this. His potential is huge here, and he's kind of an athletic freak.

BB always wins these trades. :coffee:

Mingo joins Dion Lewis and Jabaal Sheard who also came from the Browns. Michael Lombardi was GM for the Browns while all 3 were there.
Dots connected.
 
My honest thought is--- how many edge defenders does this team need?

Mingo hasn't done anything approaching justifying his 6th overall selection in 2013 since he collected 3 sacks in his first 3 NFL games.

He was supposed to be an edge rusher, but he's totaled only 7 sacks in 3 seasons.

One common opinion is that he was too light and played at 227 last year. In the offseason he started training at the home of a female bodybuilder, eating about 6000 calories a day and he recently weighed in at 251 and is supposedly ripped without touching PEDs.

That didn't seem to help him in Cleveland, but maybe Bill will figure out a way to get some productive snaps out of him.

I wonder who will get cut to make room for him assuming he makes the 53?
 
Think he will fit in good here, as belichick will no how to utilize his skills

46 games in cleveland 7 sacks 68 tackles and 1 int
 
I bet he asked Sheard what he thought of him...and Mike Lombodami.

Because he should replace the lost production from Chandler Jones. I can't imagine BB giving up the farm for him either.

WTF?

Jones had more sacks last year than Mingo's had in his 3 year career.
