Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
The beat reporters seem baffled by this, so what do Patsfans think? (I vote 'no', because they seem to have settled on Connolly at right guard -- but I hope I'm wrong!)

Hope he does he was so good for us last year.
If i had to bet on it i would bet he won't |
re: Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
I'm saying that he will. If he had truly planned on retiring, then we'd have heard something by now about it. Since the Patriots haven't said anything substantial, or released/waived him, my money is on him returning to play.

What Gwedd said.
If he had decided to retire he would have done so already. If he had just decided to sit out TC, spend time with the family before joining the team then we'd see what we are seeing now'. If he hadn't fully committed to the team but wanted to keep options open - we'd see what we are seeing now. |
re: Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
I agree with this the two above. If he was going to retire what has he been waiting for?
I think this guy wants another shot at that ring(won 1st playoff game in NE? that's a crime) and as he is an old vet i'm thinking BB is giving him leeway on this. Heck it might even be for the best in the long run that he takes time off. |
re: Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
Last year he was cut by the Chiefs in end of July didn't sign with us until late August or September (too lazy to look up). He practiced about a week (if that) before game 1 and made the Pro Bowl and was our best OLman.
Why would he want to spend a month in training camp when he obviously doesn't need it ? He is a potential HOFer he would have had a press conference signed a 1 day contract with the Chiefs if he was retiring. I really think he will be back. |
re: Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
What's the state of his locker (cleaned out or still there)? That's usually a good leading sign.
If his body was ready for retirement, then I believe he would have put his foot down and said he was retired and never coming back and that he's "moved on" from football. Right now, he's probably getting reports about the Defene and if it seems improved, why not take another chance at getting a ring? He knows what the team did last year and if this year is even slightly better...what would yo do? |
re: Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
he's got to come bakc.
he just has to. with Waters and Mankins in that line things are a whole lot better. Just hoping we can get some depth in the OT position now. |
re: Will Brian Waters Return to the Patriots?
From all reports McDonald, Wendell and Thomas have all been playing well. I'm OK with an interior line of Mankins, Connolly and those 3 guys. I've personally written off Koppen. I'm more concerned about the tackle position than the interior line right now. Waters returning would obviously be a boost, but at this point I'm just not counting on it.
