So Bruschi is back doing chats on ESPNBoston.com this year. He had one today with some good information. I put things that I found interesting below.

You'll like this one, @Rob0729. On if Brady has enough weapons:
I do think Tom Brady has enough weapons. I think they'll still be productive at the beginning of the year, even if Rob Gronkowski doesn't play. Watch out for Tim Wright. It's entirely possible that he can catch 70 balls, especially if there is no Gronkowski for the first couple of games. Wright has good hands and works hard to get open. If you're looking for a fantasy sleeper pick, he may be your guy.
On the trade of Mankins:
What you do as leaders -- first you reflect on your good friend and teammate not being there anymore. You shake your head for a minute or two ... and hopefully it's just a minute or two because you have to move on quickly. That's hard to do. It's an emotional sport played by emotional men. I remember resenting Bill Belichick...
On the end of his career:
Every Patriots player will eventually have a discussion with Bill Belichick about their end. I was no different. It was basically this: Coach Belichick said 'We think it's time.' I said, 'Coach, I agree.'
