Player-by-player, where do you see our free agents ending up next season?
The youth movement will be the trend of this offseason. The Pats will clean house and rebuild. You also forgot Samuel and the option on Stallworth.

Donte Stallworth - gone, unfortunately
Asante Samuel - gone
Chad Scott - gone
Eugene Wilson - gone
Jabar Gaffney - stays unless some other team wants to overpay
Junior Seau - If he wants to return I think the Pats will have a spot for him
Larry Izzo - stays
Lonnie Paxon - stays
Mel Mitchel - stays but always seems to get injured, played well on special teams
Randall Gay - I see him coming back but will be demoted to 4th option at best
Randy Moss - stays, he has unfinished business
Tedy Bruschi - See Seau
Troy Brown - I see him hanging it up


Who I think the Pats will bring in?

I think they will make a serious run at Terrell Suggs if the Ravens are dumb enough to not slap the franchise tag on him. I aslo think the will sign some veteran inside LB's who are around 25-27 in age.

Who I think they will draft?

I think the Pats will take DE/ LB Vernon Gholston or the best DB.

Would love to have seen more of a workload to Stallworth. I don't think we saw enough of him this year. I don't know how options work. Can anything be done with it?

Was thinking about this...We need another electric receiver on the other side of Moss. We have Welker in the slot, but Stallworth was a bit of a letdown. Chad Jackson maybe hitting his potential.

That was a big problem in the playoffs. If we have another above average receiver, Moss maybe doesn't get doubled and tripled. I also think Watson disappeared...
