Hmmm.... I always thought it was a mistake when we released him. Reliable player who had a career best 68 catches for 947 yards last year; and 13.9/catch, second best in his career. He's only 31. Wouldn't mind seeing him return.

This is great news. Too bad it is tempered by the sad news of the day.

Very sad, indeed. As Baze said, I cannot fathom such depth of despair, that
would bring one to that point. A great player and a respected team mate.

Sad news coming out just now ...

http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/02/junior-seau-dead/

 

The Patriots just announced that Jabar Gaffney has signed with the Patriots.  Looks like there will be lots of competition in training camp at the WR position!

Terrell Suggs tore an achilles tendon yesterday and will likely miss the
upcoming season. So when the Pats visit Baltimore in week three of the 2012
season they likely won't have to game plan for him.

Too bad. The kid had a great attitude. Hope he catches on with another team.

Very, very sad. I have never heard anything negative about Junior
Seau, whether a Very, very sad. I have never heard anything negative
about Junior Seau, whether as a Charger, a Patriot, or a member of the
San Diego community. It's so difficult to understand this.

" . . . . 6-2, 268, started 13 games at defensive tackle last season and
registered 6.5 sacks. One of his top physical assets is long arms (33 7/8
inches), as he deflected five passes and blocked three kicks last season."

But they took Coples. Can't wait to see how this pans out in 2-3 years.

He was a more than adequate blocker for Peyton. HIs injury a year ago really diminished both his effectiveness and, as a result, his playing time, last season. It will be interesting to see if the additional rest of another off season will return him to something close to what he was for the first few years in Indy. Until and unless I see that, I'll just sit at "pleased" with the signing; but not "pumped and jacked". :-)

I have great hopes for Ridley, from what we saw of him last season. But I'm wondering about Vereen. This signing, and the rookie FA earlier, makes me think that BB has the same concerns.

Kevin Faulk will have some competition if the Pats bring him back.

Can Addai block the pass-rusher as well as Faulk?

The class cut-up calls it a career at a good time in his life.

All the best Matt.
