He is a free agent, next year. The Patriots will have to deal with:
BJGE
Mankins
Light
Gost
Faulk
Morris
IMO, they will renew Mankins / Light / Morris - unless there's huge money involved. Faulk may get a final "thank you" contract for a year but may not see many snaps next year even if he's healthy. I think they may keep him on more as a coach / mentor for the young guys.
