Default Who retiring will make you saddest?

A number of our dearest Pats are likely playing in one of their last seasons. Within two years, a number of them may not be with us anymore. Brown, Seau, Bruschi, Vrabel, Colvin, Harrison...

Who leaving will be saddest to you?

I've got to say that Rodney Harrison is my choice.... his energy and spirit is unparalleled, and the Pats are a very different team without him. After his fantastic season this year, I think odds are very good he at least comes back for one more. I also hope the day that Vrabel retires is many years from now....

No question that a buch of these 30-somethings are somewhere near their end with the Pats. However, knowing BB's penchant for smart, seasoned patriot-type guys, that if he thinks they are physically up to it, every single one of them is one the team in 2008.

Troy Brown, as he is my favorite player of all time.

Uh, besides Brady? I'd go with Harrison as well.

If we take it all this year I'd expect Brown, Bruschi and Seau to call it a career. Rodney has a couple years left.

Kevin Faulk would be a tough loss as well.

Peyton Manning...without him we wouldn't have all these great Manning vs. Brady threads/arguments. [jk]

Troy Brown, without question. He, Brady, Bledsoe & Law are probably my four all-time favorites Pats.

At least with Brown though, this season has kind of been a transition, so he's gradually moving into retirement. I'd love to see him stick around with the Pats in some other role, but he's come out and send he doesn't have any interest in that.

Brown -- very likely to play again, but yeah, more than 2 years is unlikely
Seau -- loves the game, wouldn't necessarily quit after winning
Vrabel -- you gotta be kidding. He loves the game and is playing at a Pro Bowl level. He has a lot more than 2 years left.
Harrison -- not playing as well as Vrabel, but could be good for more than two years.
Colvin -- is a LOT more than 2 years from retiring, whether or not he stays with the Pats

They may not be playing for us................... but possibly playing somewhere. I'll answer the question differently........ Who could I stomach the least seeing them in another uniform others than the Patriots.

For me, no doubt Brown and Bruschi.

Don't want them to retire, but cannot stomach the thought of seeing them play anywhere but here.

By far I will miss Teddy Brushci the most. He's so inspiring and my second favorite patriot. I'll really miss him when it happens. Hopefully he'll finish on top by winning a fourth super bowl.
