The cracks in Belichick's armor are beginning to show and very soon, Brady won't be able to cover those mistakes.
He's had the greatest QB in NFL history for the past 16 seasons, which has made it easier to create a roster of "JAG's" as opposed to truly talented offensive and defensive players. He can get away Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola and players of that ilk but once they have a non-HOF QB, he'll need to invest draft capital and free agent money into talented offensive and defensive players. The game will change completely for the Patriots at that point and it'll be interesting to see if Belichick can adjust. Based on his recent trades and dumps (Kony Ealy, Jamie Collins and Chandler Jones), his arrow is pointing down. |

There's no way that the current Patriots roster wouldn't be better if they had kept Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins. They have a lack of edge rushers which will likely lead to their downfall. |

Another consideration - Andy Dalton could easily be traded. He has 3 years left on his deal at below market value for an average starting QB. He may well have burnt out in Cincy and they could be looking to blow it up.
He's more accomplished, younger, cheaper and under control for longer than Smith is. So unless Smith kills it this season, why would a team prefer Smith to Dalton if they're looking for a veteran bridge to a younger QB? If you're the Jags and you can have Smith for a season or Dalton for 3 (with no guaranteed dollars still attached). I don't think Smith will have much trade value.

Won't it take a team that's got one of Dalton's coaches being the more-likely option to try and acquire him?
But yeah. Smith has pretty much insignificant trade value.

Andy is only as good as the talent around him while Alex is Alex regardless of talent. |

1st round pick. Minimum. Maybe we throw some change at the team, ala the Trent Green deal years ago. |

If he plays no worse than he did in 2015, Smith gets a contract extension unfortunately.

Yeah I don't agree with that.
Smith's future with this team is entirely dependent on how he performs in the playoffs. His last three playoff games have been 'meh' at best. |
