Telling me they want to get younger and more athletic on the day they release CJackson just doesnt wash....

Listen. They did NOT change their ways. Why can't you get that through that thick skull of yours. There was very little in the way of talent available on the free agent market. How is that the Patriots fault? Answer? Its NOT. The Patriots have used whatever means necessary to add players to their team. They done it with free agents. They've done it with draft picks. They've done it with waiver wire pick ups. They've done it with UDFAs.

Why doesn't it wash? Because they cut ONE PLAYER who is young? They also cut John Lynch. What does that tell you?

Man, you just love grasping at non-existant straws.

BTW, Jeff, you might want to check history a bit.

2006 - Pats added 7 Rookies via the draft and a UDFA in Pierre Woods
2005 - Pats added 5 Rookies via the draft, a UDFA by the name of Mike Wright
2003 - Pats added 7 Rookies via the draft.

So, I'm not sure how them adding 7 this year really falls into your idea of them changing their ways.
