Nice longwinded piece...too bad it didn't tell us anything we didn't already know!
I liked Hobbs as a defender until the middle of last year...he and Sanders screwed the and defended himm more than anyone else on the team on defense. On any other team he would have been benched in favor of the rookies but they had to go with him.
The team is better off without him, he would have become a distraction and malcontent as he tried to make big plays to make big money which would have screwed them as they would have cost the Patriots field position, points, and allowed who knows how many TDs and field goals. He's gone, the team will go on, and they will do what they al ways do- win.
