Maybe if he takes an one year deal at the veteran minimum plus incentives so he is a low risk move, but otherwise, no.
The good news is that this is a positive sign for the Pats. Teams are going to cut veterans with big bonuses due which means they might be able to build the way they did in 2001-2004 with value veterans.
No more older guys,lets get a vet LB who is less than 27 - Pierce is 31 and by the season opener will be 32
We might as well have kept Vrabel if this is the case

A Veteran who is younger than 27.
That may be difficult...
Why?!? Roman Phifer was over 30 when he got here. So was Seau (who played at a high level). Why would you have a problem in getting a LB over 30 if he is can fill a roll on this team and not cost too much? There aren't going to be many LBs who are younger than 27 available in free agency since they will all be RFAs.
The Pats problem isn't that they were getting old veteran. They are just getting the wrong old veterans. This year is the year that a strategy like that will pay off though since a lot of teams will be dumping veterans who still can play, but are not playing up to their huge roster bonuses due.

No. Too old, too slow, too arrogant for me. I despise this guy.
