Keep hearing people ask how many games Judon will help the Pats win. Wrong question! How many games does he keep them from losing… & it’s a lot. Coming off a 4 win season, you don’t trade your best defensive player when there’s no equivalent replacement & defense is what kept them in a lot of their games last season. Imagine making the defense worse, & offense/special teams stay the same. lol 1-3 win season incoming.

Exactly....he is the cornerstone of your defense, he's a leader and still putting up good numbers. He should have been the first person you pay on the defensive side.

They aren't competing at a high level this year so what's the point. Trade him to get some picks and try to build for the future.

[@michaellalli7693]

He’s 31 and seldom plays the whole season ? They’re not paying him a ton - he should take the raise and move on

[@daneaton8567]

Either trade him or give him a truly respectable deal, don't let this drag out. I'm sorry but 10mil a year like Zo said is an insult. Premier pass rushers in this league get 3x that.

Patriots leaving a defensive player walk...no..that is impossible...only offensive players get walking papers...lol.

Trade him! no one in an 4-13 team should be asking for a raise!
