I wouldn't mind seeing both of them come to the Patriots but I highly doubt it but its going to be discouraging seeing them go to different teams even rivals we need impact players like Porter.

Well theres always the draft and free agency and you pick before the Pats so Patrick Willis would be a nice fit but then again I dont know what you would do with Pierce.

The thing aboug Porter going to the Giants or any 4-3 team is that who knows how well he'd translate. If he did go to the Pats he would be a perfect fit since it is a dominate 3-4 defensive team.

I wouldn't mind if the Saints picked up Porter, but I don't know how well he would mesh with Sean Payton.

Porter's a shell of what he used to be, but still was decent. Haynes though, that's surprising...

Porter can be replaced ability wise , but he brought a lot of heart , fire , and leadership to that defense. He will be missed in that respect.

Carolina could use a linebacker like that... but we don't have that much cap room. :x

i doubt he would go to Dallas but it would be awesome to have Demarcus Ware on one side and Porter on the other

Eh, since Adalius Thomas is pretty much a lost cause at this point, I guess the niners could go after Porter instead. He would give the team some swagger, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

Yeah, pretty much. Id like porter. He has had a more consistent career but thomas had an amazing year last season compared to porter.
