Thanks 2-8. You'll be missed for your heart, desire, and fire.

On the other side of this, holes are beginning to emerge. The pats have needs at secondary and linebacker as we saw in the playoffs, at wr which is now a potentially a bigger need with Jackson's situation, and now at backup rb. Evans is a nice back but do you want him as your primary power back?

There is no other FO I'd want having to fill these voids than the one that the Pats have.

Wow. What a sad day in Boston sports. Thank you Corey, good luck in the future.

I am absolutely blown away by the decision. However, I do respect Corey and I want to thank him for proving me 100% wrong and making me eat crow. He was the best running back this team has seen in too many years. Laurence Maroney has big shoes to fill.

It will be very interesting to see how active the Pats are in trying to acquire a RB prior to the draft.

I felt he had a year left in him, but I have no worries making Maroney the man.
We do gain cap room. As for a replacement, I dont think we get much more than a jag, since Faulk is fine as a backup. I'd like to see a younger vet who could fill in as a starter if Maroney were out, keeping Faulk as the #2.
Something along the lines of a career backup who has started at times.

Sean Pa Patriot

I smell a rat... I think he was asked to take a pay cut, and he refused.. Why else would he say I am keeping that option of playing for another team.. Well for what its worth, I think Corey was great for 2004 for us, he began to decline in 2005 and in 2006 was ok , and was a good short yrd guy for us...

Oh, and Corey dillon will go down as a great Patriot.

Corey you definitely helped win that third Superbowl. I'll always remember that 2 nd half of the Colts game when McGinest was like "Clock killin Cory Dillon..... man I'll have to open another gatorade for this drive"

I always appreciated his hard core approach and when he says he's a gamer, Corey is a gamer, he'd be in there if he was dinged up. His production dropped off but I enjoyed having him on the Pats.

I wish him luck.

If he's released after 6/1, we would save $600K on the cap this year but would lose $1.3M next year as he still has $5.7M of signing bonus unaccounted for onthe cap. I imagine he'd like to take the money and run but I'm guessing the Patriots aren't going to want to pay all 4 years of signing bonus for two years of work.

Corey Dillon was/is the man. He was finally our replacement for Curtis Martin. I was hoping he could go one more year and send him off the right way.

The Pats should steal Dominic Rhodes. Not the fastest or strongest but a savvy vet.
