Adam OR David OR Willie OR Stephen? - New England Patriots Forums

Assume a new (extended) CBA. Assume 105 mil sal cap. Assume that the front office won't deal with Seymour, Koppen, Graham, Branch, et al until after this year's crop is harvested first.

If you could re-sign only ONE of these beloved UFAs ... who would it be?

Vinatieri ... Givens ... McGinest ... Neal ?

WHY?

Willie Mac, do doubt. He OWNS that locker room. If you wanna know who is responsible for that team first attitude we have, its him.

I'm one of the (only) two ... who would choose David.

So much upside still to his young career!

It's three now -- but it's a heart-breaker. I figure that even Willie isn't immortal and the Brady-Branch-Givens triangle means an awful lot. But losing Adam ...

Another- which of your children would you want to keep poll.

As much as WR is a concern for me, I have to vote to retain the all-time leading scorer in Patriots history.

There's still a lot of life in those cleats and I can't help but wonder what recent Pats history would be like if we had a very good, but not great, pressure kicker on the team (someone like Mike Vanderjerk)

I agree. But for me, it was a close call between Givens and Neal.
