Even though he may have lost a few steps, would you want Tedy Bruschi back for 1 more year... ???
In the same role as an every down ILB? No.
In a reduced role? Absolutely.

I honestly can't remember him making a single big play this year. That said, I think he should be back if he wants to be back, but he should not be counted on to start every down.
this notion of "linebacker by committee of aging vet" has got to go. you need guys that can play every down. and the guys that occasionally spell them should be young aggressive guys with fresh legs that come at a much lower salary.
reality is teddy should do the right thing and retire voluntarily. that would be the "team player" thing to do.

Accept that great play during the AFCCG when he reached in front a SD receiver and forced them to punt. That was a great play.
I'm not voting because none of the options reflect this opinion, which I share.Exactly. I voted for the third option because this one wasn't there.

I can understand why people don't think he should be a starter anymore. Which I still believe he can be but I do not understand why anyone wouldn't want him back. Each of the last two seasons we went into the year with 5 good options at LB and each year one has got hurt leaving us short a LBer. Lets go into this year with 6. the 5 from last year and at least one more good LB.
Now Bruschi is a guy who has given this team a home team discount in the past and should be returning this year on a pretty cheap contract. He plays STs and is a captain and emotional leader. Who doesn't want that back?
