Pats are seriously going young.
They bring in Andre Carter.
There are a number of veteran DT's available every year. And OT's and Safeties and Receivers and Tight Ends.
But they've cut almost all the back-up veterans and brought in a huge crop of undrafted and waived rookies.
Maybe Brady really is planning to play another 10 years, and Belichick is building a team to compete in 2017.

Love, Kyle
Deaderick, Brandon
Brace, Ron (fat and lazy)
Pryor, Myron
Wasn't he cut by the Jags because he's a JAG?I would indeed call Love a veteran. Of course, he was waived for medical reasons.

We all know why he was cut loose by the Patriots. The story doesn't really need to be rehashed.Love was a starter for the patriots, and was certainly expected to be a backup in 2013. He was diagnosed with diabetes. The patriots asked him to take a year off on IR to see if he could keep in game shape and also keep his diabetes under control. Love refused. He was waived. There was never a question with regard to whether Love was good enough to be a 2013 backup for the patriots.
JAX signed Love. I haven't a clue what happened at that poor excuse of a team and coaching staff. What I do know (as you indicated) is that Love was waived. I don't care about the evaluations of the JAGs coaching staff.
With regard to having JAG's on the team, you and I understand this term very differently. JAG's are veteran backups, who can start if necessary, with no future with regard to being a star. Many are past their prime. I would WELCOME a JAG at lots of positions of the squad, especially as backup defensive players. I also would welcome a JAG OG/OC.

The interior D-Line was way too thin coming out of the cut down to 53.
