Default Rodney says he's not retiring (Boston Herald)

Indeed, he sounds perplexed as to why people might think he would.

Everyone’s asking me about retirement. I don’t know what to say about it. I haven’t said anything publicly about wanting to retire or anything like that. I’m very hungry to get back to working out and be a part of this team, and try to win another championship.

I hope one of those guys do go. I'm sorry, I love and appreciate what they've done, but if those guys are once again 2 of the Pats top 4 or 5 LBs again next year, I will not be feeling too comfortable.

The time has come to add some young talent on defense. I'm

hoping they pick a young linebacker early in the draft but I am not

counting on it because of the Pats recent history of not developing

linebackers.

1) So much for the boycott on the Herald

2) It's the Herald-- are we sure they got the story right?

I agree with you, but it's been pointed out to me on this board a couple of times that the reason for that could be that the type of linebackers that Belichick would deem worth picking are rarely available when the Pats are drafting. If, say, Gholston is around at 7, and Belichick really likes what he sees, I would be pretty pumped if the Pats drafted him.

I'm happy he's not thinking of packing it in. His experienced will be invaluable to the younger safeties. Plus he's a bit of a beast.

Rodney is the man! Even if he did let Tyree get that ball. I think Bruschi and Seau will most likely retire in the off season. That begins to leave some holes, however with Adalius Thomas still in the mix and his ability to play the middle and outside we still have some experienced depth. I am guessing that BB is setting his sights on Lance Briggs of the Bears, he is a free agent this year and has done some nice work in "Chi" town. He has had to live in Urlacher's shadow but depite that has put down some pretty nice numbers. I guess time will tell.
