Wow, do we have a logjam at WR, assuming of course that he signs here. He definitely wants to be back

I would like for Troy to end his career here also great guy.

It just said he would like to stay here, not that he will.

I'd love to see Troy finish it out as a Patriot too. If he will take vet min I think he'd get a chance to compete for a spot. His health is about the only caveat I can think of.

I would love to see Troy end his career here, but I have a bad feeling about this. If he wants to play next year, I am not sure he comes back to the pats

What are you talking about? He's a DB. And a damn good one too!

My Show No Mercy attitude ends with Troy Brown. If he wants to play, and is willing to play for a reasonable deal, I will not accept the Pats not signing him.

That is the one player that I would protest for.

I have said it on another board... I would like to get an online "Bring Troy Back" petition started, just to see how many sigs we can get.

It would let him know that we fans do appreciate him. It would also give him the "individual recognition" that he deserves, for putting the "Team first", for all of these years.

Maybe I'll look for some domain names tonight...

ThankYouTroy.com??

Anyone wanna get involved and help out organizing/designing the web-page??

PM me... I'm dead serious.

Not so fast....first, IF New England offered him a contract at Vet. Min. $830,000 or so, (that way we can take advantage of the cap break for veterans) and IF Troy is holding out for more cash - THEN, does that change things???

I doubt he is holding out for cash.

I say offer him a vet min contract, then PUP him. He's had off-season surgery and surely qualifies.

It isn't like he needs training camp. He's been to O, D, and ST meetings for years. Give him a contract, the summer off, and surely by week 9 we will have enough WRs and/or DBs hurt to activate him.

If Troy is willing to play for the Vet Min. and they dont bring him back. Thats what I mean.

Anyway. I bought the domain name Thankyoutroy.com.

Im going to set up a page for people just to stop in and write a little personal "Thank you", to Troy and sign their name.

Maybe if we get enough sigs, it will make it's way to him. I think it would be a nice little tribute.
