FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One of the most disappointing things that can happen after a player is traded is for previously undisclosed information to come to the forefront that makes the player look bad in an attempt to justify the swap from a team perspective.
At the same time, when there is an unexpected trade such as what unfolded Monday when the New England Patriots shipped linebacker Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns in a move that shook up parts of the locker room, it leads to more probing to hopefully learn what led to the decision.
