Thanks for being such a big part of winning a ring for the Patriots.

He may have been a little grumpy with the media at times (who don't understand what an insult it is to make insinuations about his age) but he acted with great dignity in his time here.

Of course, I wont be cheering for him from here on out but wish him good health.

You think they should have paid him $2.5M in salary and a $3M option bonus? That would have increased his dead cap hit to $6.5M after we traded him for what? A late day two pick at best?

Good Luck CD, thanks for those hard fought yards.

Thanks Corey for all you did while you were here and I wish you the best.

Cheers to Corey, he had a hell of a season in 2005. I don't think they win it all w/o him.

But he wasn't the same in the last couple years due to injury and age.

I've loved having Dillon as a member of the team and thank him for his performance both on the field and off it. He gave 100 per cent for the team. I'll never forget his performance in the last Indy play-off victory or the day that he came back against the Bills after Patrick Pass's hamstring fumble, despite clearly not being ready to play. Moreover, he behaved with great class last season.

Thanks for the memories!

my understanding was we pay $4.4 if he was here, or $3.5 if he isnt? is that incorrect?

This thread reads like a eulogy.
