This offseason is going to be very important for the Patriots. There are many key players who need to either restructure their contracts or the Pats need to resign.
1) Will Randy Moss be back? There is a debate on which way this could go. If we win it all, Moss could go and hit the motherlode in free agency. But some teams could think they can't keep him happy like the Pats, so they won't bother. Or he wants to keep on winning and play with Tom Brady.
Prediction: Resigns with Patriots 5 year deal worth 35 million and 10 million guaranteed.
2) What to do with Donte Stallworth? The Pats have him signed for 5 more years, but the upcoming seasons cap hit is 11 million. I would like to keep Donte, but that cap hit is crazy. Once 09 comes around, his cap number is more palatable. I would like him to restructure a deal with the Pats. Donte seems happy here, but he could seek a number 1 job elsewhere.
Prediction: Released, resigns a 5 year deal worth 25 million with 8 million guaranteed.
3) Will Tedy Bruschi and Larry Izzo be back? Yes. The Pats will resign them. No questions asked.
4) What about Rosie Colvin? He will be released, but could resign. His cap hit is 7 million. I would think he restructures his deal.
5) Asante Samuel. He is an elite corner. The Pats know it. He will command probably around 20 million guaranteed. I would like the Pats to resign him. I honestly don't know what will happen. The Pats could pay or let him walk. But they never seem to let talent walk away. With that said, I am guessing he stays unless another team offers him Nate Clements money.
I think the team doesn't lose any players. Samuel and Stallworth are the only ones I am not surely convinced will stay.
