This is a sad day indeed. But we all knew that this day would come. Thank you Teddy Bruschi. You will be missed.

A sad day, but a wise decision. Here's to a great next phase of his life and career.

If he left on his own terms it would have been before the season started. Who at that age wants to go through training camp to retire before the season starts. Obviously he was going to be cut.

One of the great Patriots.......always a fan favorite because of his hard work on the field, with his family and in the community. Kind of a curiosity at first because of his name and size but the name became a cheer every time he made a play and he always played bigger than he needed to. I'll really miss seeing him on the field.
