Default Don't bring Volmer back!

Tackles are overpaid and an injury prone one shouldn't be. We have a talented line staff and can draft offensive lineman. Defense should fill up most of this cap. Pass rushers not Pass blockers.

Yes bring him back. I know Dante is the best in the business but I don't want an OL that's good enough, I want an OL that's very good.

When healthy, there's no better RT in the league. Yes the injuries make things difficult to deal with, but letting a player as talented as he is walk away and then having to spend at least one pick on a replacement, who may very well not work out, doesn't make sense to me.

Bring him back AND draft someone who can play the spot.

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

I agree with Crazy Patriot Guy, you can't just expect Dante to build the perfect line out of no-bodies, the key to a strong offense is a good line. Get Vollmer back on a team-friendly 1-year deal. Still plenty of cap space to make a good deal here.

Yeah, we need some big beast who can go up and catch a ball. Remember all those championships in the Moss years? Child please. Linemen are the heart/soul of the team.

If he can be signed for a reasonable contract, I say do it. If he wants All Pro LT that doesn't get injured money, well, OL is one area where the Pats have had good luck plugging guys in without a huge amount of drop off.

When I voted I see we have two MORONS.

The question does not mention $$. I assume he is signed at what you think he's worth - and you would know. Was he fighting through an injury? I don't know, but the guys signing him do.

Will he likely get that injury again? I don't know, but the people signing him would have a good idea.

Besides, morons, it is the off season. Offer him no signing bonus unless he makes the team, and he is essentially cap free if you end up cutting him because he now sucks and you were wrong. (Assuming you cut him before any bonus kicks in.)

Heck, if it is free all you waste is a scouts time watching him work out. Heck, sign my dead Grandmother to wide receiver and see if she has anything left.

Your poll is legitimate. Your comment is past ridiculous .....and the results so far just proves it out.
