I drafted Maroney last year in my keeper league. Unfortunately for me, Barber was my #1 back, so now I'm hurting. I have Jacobs, but I'm not sold on him as a starter. |

The Herald has a slightly different spin. Says Dillon wants to start, that 10-12 carries isn't enough for him, and that he wants to be released, and then analyze all opportunities, which could include retirement.
Reality, in my opinion -- the Pats asked him to take a pay cut, he refused, and the team and Dillon have agreed to this cover story so there is no suggestion that he was cut by the team. Either way, I'm VERY sorry to see him go, but hardly surprised. We all knew his number was a bit high for this year.

But they were quoting his agent, on the record, so who knows. Maybe his agent is trying to convince him...

Amnorix I thought I saw where you guys had $30 mill in cap space. Is that right? Any idea on what the plan with that cash is?

Dillon has lost almost all of his speed.

What's the plan? The same as always -- to not overpay anyone, and continue to field a "big, tough, strong, smart football team that competes for championships year after year" or whatever the precise mantra is. Asante Samuel accoutns for about $7M now, as he's been frnachised. We'll see what will happen there. The only other "big" free agent (relatively speakign) is Daniel Graham, who seems poised to hit FA. I'd imagine we'll pursue some linebackers, particularly Donnie Edwards and possibly Adaleus (sp?) Thomas in Free Agency. I imagine we had Briggs in our sights (who didn't) until he was franchised by the Bears. London Fletcher and Kawika Mitchell would also be likely possibilities for not-top dollar, IMHO. We REALLY need a WR, especially nwo that Chad Jackson has been revealed as having suffered an ACL in the Championship Game. Drew Bennett or Donte Stallworth, maybe? I think we'll pursue Bennett strongly. We could use a veteran RB now that Dillon is out of the picture, but I doubt we'll pay a helluva lot (what else is new). Other than that, we have 2 1st round picks and we might restructure some guys. But as usual, I don't expect to see us reel in some incredibly hot FA for huge dollars. It's just not the way they do things in Foxboro.

Nice take Amnorix. It seems the talking heads had you guys signing Thomas, Edwards, Stallworth and just about every other FA out there. That would be completely out of character for the Pats but who knows.
Just as long as you guys lose twice to the Colts I don't care what else you do.

Don't count on that happening again, is all I have to say. Winning the big prize tends to ruin nearly all teams. I'm not sure what will happen with the Colts, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a drop off. And jus tremember this -- in the last 5 years the Pats and Colts have played 180 minutes of playoff football. The Colts have had the lead in those games for a grand total of ONE minute. Unfortunately, it was the last minute of the most recent AFC Championship game.
