Apparently just heard on Sirius Radio from a direct statement made by Dillon's agent that Corey has NO intentions of retiring this year...Fact is he just does not want to play for the New England Patriots anymore.
Many of you during all of last year were definate that Corey was fine with splitting time with Maroney cause thats what you saw,heard,and read BUT now with this statement shows me that he was NOT happy splitting time with Maroney and although they did get along on the field and Corey was like a big brother to Laurence, secretly Corey was not happy with the decision to grab Maroney last year and went along just to be a team player and sucked his ego inside himself,Thats a class act and a thing many players would not do.
I think Corey well hid his inner feelings and went all last year knowing that he was not going to be happy just like when he was on and off (more off) with Rudi in Cincinnati ,but this time he never went balistic and kept all inside.
Give lots of credit to Corey for not being a distraction in the clubhouse and not bringing back memories of his last years in Cincinnati.
He thinks he still has tons left in the tank and simply does not want to waste it in New England with only 10-12 carries a game,And you can't blame him for that,If he thinks he can offer the right team a full time RB position then more power to him...But it was not going to happen here in NE and I wish him luck and another 1,000 yard season wherever he plays (as long as he does not play against us next year and if he does,no 100 yard game is at our expense)
With the right kind of offense and a good OL in front of him I think he will do well (Green Bay is my pick for him to land,especially since Ahman Green may be gone or maybe Baltimore where theres a hole there)
