Default what would it take to trade Tom Brady?

I was thinking about Chicago's QB problems the other day and I came up with an interesting scenario: What would the Bears have to give up in draft picks in order to get Tom Brady mid season?

I am a diehard Pats fan and remember when the Colts and Pats were fighting for the bottom spots in the league. This is obviously the best of times for the Pats and in no way do I think they would trade Brady. But you CAN put a price on anything.

So, what would be fair both ways? The next 4 first round draft picks from the Bears. Five? I know it sounds ridiculous at first to speak of so many first rounders but put yourself in Chicago's shoes; They get Brady and a lot of their problems are fixed and are a legit threat to win the Superbowl this year and for years to come with the current state of the NFC. Their window may close soon and they can't afford to wait for a possible stud quarterback through the draft to turn things around.

The Pats?: They would have to be nuts to even entertain the thought. But would four or five first rounders do the trick? The Pats have had a hugely successful run with their first round picks going back 6 or 7 years. What could they achieve with those picks?

Also, is there any other teams out there who would offer more? Maybe for the instant credibility/ticket sales that a draw like Brady would spur in said teams city? Plus their picks would most likely be more valuable. (since they need the high profile guy, they are probably not a good team and would thus finish lower each year than the Bears)

Just looking for some thoughts on this. I thought it would make an interesting discussion.

Also, on a side note. Not to have an elitist or biased attitude towards the Pats but maybe this discussion would be even more realistic pertaining to the Colts. The Colts are probably in much more need of retooling their roster inspite of their recent superbowl victory.
How many draft picks for Manning?
