^ I agree with bwilliams.
This is a no brainer trade, mostly becuase those terms would never come up in the first place ~
But heck in the case that they did, id take that deal :P
Mankins rips Patriots for mistreatment | ProFootballTalk.com
The guy wants to be traded and we have a connection. Its a LOOOOONG shot, but hey, who knows. We landed vrabel and cassel for a 2nd round pick last year and I still think that was one hell of a deal.

Fine, give up a 2nd rounder for him. waters isn't getting any younger and like you said, he's an all pro and in his prime.
On the other hand:
would we want him considering his latest outburst against the Pats? Is that the kind of dude haley wants in his right 53?

While I hold little value in keeping Page, Mankins is an OG and we actually have quite a few of those right now.
I suppose that we gain a good player who gives us trading options at OG. But that would be making a trade in hopes of emabling us to make a trade. Not the most logical plan around.
I guess I would have to pass on this. And, as mentioned, I doubt that we would be able to pull it off if we wanted to.
We should upgrade any chance we can, regardless of how many rookie, undersized or over the hill Guards we have.
Waters has declined dramatcially since Willie Roaf was not there to help him.
Lilja is under sized and seems to think he was signed for a back up role and a chance to start.
Now I am excited about Asamoha.
Another starting Guard would be nice.
I agree entirely.
If NE were dumb enough to make this trade (or if we were to come to a more equitable trade), we could start Mankins at LG, Waters at C, and have Asamoah/Lilja (preferably Asamoah) at RG. That's a hell of a lot better than Waters/Niswanger/Lilja, especially in the run game.
I certainly don't disagree. But, although I strongly dislike Page, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting him go, without knowing that we had someone able to beat him out for a starting spot.
And Mankins comes from another system that is terrible at running the ball, and pass blocking is a secondary skill for OG,
But I admit that it would be tough to look past an offer like that.
