This legacy already includes Spygate and the less concerning Deflategate scandals. Spygate is as bad as it gets, really, and there are claims as far as back their first Super Bowl win against the Rams that they had filmed their opponent's practices. A great many people outside New England already consider this legacy compromised, and a wise man knows it's impossible to further tarnish a turd.

It seems pretty shortsighted though on someone's part to let JG go for such a cheap price.

A second round pick is a STEAL for an unproven career back-up who's trapped behind the GOAT, even if he is devastatingly handsome. And I mean, sure, he's going to the hall-of-fame if the vote were today, but we're still talking about a sample size of five games here. The Patriots' real advantage over the past 15+ years is their non-sentimental pragmatism; their willingness to cut ties with a player while that player's value is maximized. Taken in that context, the Jimmy GQ trade is the epitome of "The Patriot Way."
