83141, lots of banter here but bottom line this is a financial trade for Oakland

they get a guy they can use for this year and i guess next year (right?) at a reasonable price for a pick they'd have to pay God-knows-what in a very uncertain year financially for the NFL.
otherwise as a rebuilding team you dont trade what figures to be a top ten pick for a guy close to 30 under contract for a short term.
good deal for new england, have vs have not deal here, in terms of talent, money and good ownership.
