It’s the deadest part of the offseason so I’ll play along. Let’s just forget that it’s unlikely the Pats could even fit Andre on the roster given their current cap space, it would take Houston either eating a large portion of it or Andre agreeing to restructure, which of course isn’t impossible, but I’d think there are other places that make more sense.
What would you give up? I’d let any wide receiver not named Edelman be part of it, but Amendola is unlikely due to his decent salary and Dobson’s been hurt so I’m not sure Houston is interested.
What about a cornerback? Logan Ryan? Dennard (who’s also been hurt). Or maybe a tackle? Vollmer? Maybe even Vereen?
Bill O’Brien knows most of the Pats roster so I think those are the guys that might be intriguing. But if it came to picks I think the deal would flame out because the Pats wouldn’t want to give up more than MAYBE a second. And that’s a big maybe.
But if they could work it out, I’d say the Johnson-Edelman-Gronkowski offense would be on par with the 2007 offense. You can threaten every area of a defense. Throw in Thompkins/Boyce, maybe even Gallon in the slot and they’d have very favorable matchups.
I’m not holding my breath but it would certainly be fun to watch.
