After thinking it over, here's my conclusion:
Before the season, there may have been a reason to hang on to Jimmy. It would have made sense to think that if Brady got injured, that team may have been able to salvage a decent season as they did with Cassell.
But now that Hightower and Edelman are lost for the season, it wouldn't even matter. The team's going nowhere if Brady goes down. The only way Jimmy could have made a difference in this season would have been if Brady has some really short term injury that made him miss a game or less. So the Pats might as well take the free pick.
