Let me answer your question with a question. How much are you going to pay Aiyuk after you trade for him? Because the Patriots apparently balked at anything more than $22m for Ridley, even when that WR cost nothing but money.

they may view Ridley as a higher risk venture

Jeudy just got a top number of about $19m per year. Ridley is the best WR of the 3. So, the question is whether Ridley + no other outlay > Aiyuk + trade outlay, and even if Aiyuk + trade outlay > Jeudy #$19m per year + 2024 5th + 2024 6th.

I think it's pretty obvious that the Patriots fucked up, as evidenced by the reality that they still have neither a WR1 or WR2, and those players are now, effectively, all gone. I'm just trying to hear all the excuses to see if any of them results in a change of my mind. So if, for example, there's solid intel that Aiyuk will happily play for half of what Ridley got, that would matter.

Aiyuk is a much better player than Ridley and is almost 4 years younger. Go listen to Ridley's interview and tell me you have confidence this will go well for him in Tennessee.
 
See, we are in complete disagreement there.

C'mon D, I know you wanted to sign him, and Ridley is a pretty good aging/declining player but lets be real here. Aiyuk is a young stud WR who is in his prime. Key stats here, catch rate, success rate, yards per target. Aiyuk is in a stacked offense that spreads the ball around and still put up excellent numbers.

Aiyuk is his team's 3rd or 4th option, and gets coverage as such. Ridley's his team's first option, and gets covered as such. I know you've got a beef against Ridley, but he's the better receiver of the two, and he would have cost nothing but money.

Lol okay dude.. Aiyuk is clearly a better player but if you want to die on that hill go for it.
