Trades no one saw coming have been a staple of the Bill Belichick era. In March, the Pats shipped pass rusher Chandler Jones to the Cardinals, and a few months later, Jones thanked Belichick for "not trading me to a crappy team."
Jamie Collins almost certainly won't have such things to say about his former coach now that he's been banished to the Browns.
Collins entered the season as one of the league's best young linebackers, which made the Pats' decision to trade him a curious one.
