Bring Back the Band -- Dynasty 2.0?
I know we are just fresh off a Superbowl win. But did you realize the Pats are the youngest team to win the Super Bowl with an average age of 25.2? This means that if we retain the right pieces, we have the core to go after perhaps another 2 Lombardi trophies in the next 3 years. 6 championships would mean Football Immortality. Forget about 19-0.
Here is a list of our free agents for 2015:

Out of that list here are the key players I think we need to bring back--
Revis CB, McCourty S, Gostkowski K, Vereen RB.
Revis - lynchpin to the secondary.
McCourty - has turned himself into a top notch reliable deep midfielder.
Gostkowski - didn't have to do much this Superbowl, but I would trust him in the clutch and so would BB.
Vereen - a pass catching machine out of the backfield as we've just seen.
Sadly, I don't think Ridley will be coming back. Blount will be returning next year because he signed a 2 year deal after we picked him up from Pittsburgh.
The other guys on the list will probably only come back if they are willing to come cheap.
The salary cap for 2015 is estimated to be 140-145m. Let's call it 142.5m. Compare to 2014's cap of 133m.
Who do you re-sign and who do you let go if you're BB? And how much are we paying them?
