Any PatsFans message board spies lurking around Logan International Airport?

If your Waters wouldn't you want to come back to the pats? He would have a great shot at another SB. AND...... If he was retiring wouldn't he have filed his papers by now? Hmmm things are getting curiouser and curiouser

So if I'm correct, then either:
A) They are trying to work it out / clear cap space
or
B) We are going into the season without him trying to see if we can manage without him while Waters is waiting for a phone call
Don't you think if it was a holdout the team would be fining him for not returning?

Thy aren't. So I can't see it at all.

Has photos of Brian Waters been placed on milk cartons in the New England area?

So they moved lockers around and there is still one with his name and personal belongings? Yeah until that stuff and the name plate is gone, I'm going to assume he comes back. I like the theory floated around yesterday that Shank will go to temp IR to make room.

This is great!

Back in the day, Kremlinology was a matter of figuring out the significance of who stood where in the photos when the Soviet bigwigs emerged in public. Then there was Dylanology with that guy (AJ Weberman?) who used to go through Dylan's trash cans.

Now we've got Foxborology -- based on close analysis of the Patriots players lockers and their contents. Perfect for all obsessives.

(As a small contribution. I can't make sense of the moves this off-season without thinking that the Patriots' desire not to have some vets on the roster in week 1 and hence having their season's salary guaranteed is playing a big role. Does that affect the BW situation?)

Can they fine him if he is officially "contemplating retirement"? I think not.

Hence the term retirement holdout.

From what I understand, they take all of the lockers out and replace them with larger ones, when the team is 53 rather than 90 players. They also move players around, so there's absolutely nothing to this "cleaned out" business at all.

There is a report going around, however, that he had breakfast this morning and lunch this afternoon, and some reporters are speculating about the impact of that on his fitness for football.
