Help me decide on whose jersey I should wear for the 2024 season?

[Hyped]

I started buying Patriots jerseys in 1997 to wear on game days. I started with a Drew Bledsoe authentic royal blue home jersey (yes, Flying Elvii on shoulders...). Then in 2002, after Bledsoe was traded...I decided to roll with a Troy Brown replica home blue jersey for two reasons...he at the time was the longest tenured Patriot...and I was living in CA where it was too hot for authentic jerseys. After Troy Brown retired (after refusing to sign with the Jete if I might add...), I had moved to Boston...so I bought a Tedy Bruschi authentic home blue jersey because at the time he was the longest tenured player and also because it was colder. After Bruschi retired and I moved back to CA again...I went with a red Kevin Faulk jersey...because longest tenured. Then when Faulk retired...I went with two Brady jerseys...a gray neutral replica...and a white road replica for a long time. Then when Brady left, I bought a Slater blue replica...again because he was the longest tenured. Now Slater has retired...

Do I roll with a David Andrews or Joe Cardona jersey?

Technically, Joe Cardona is the longest tenured Patriot because he was drafted whereas Andrews was an UDFA.....but on September 10th, 2015...David Andrews snapped the ball on the Patriots opening drive of the game (played 61 snaps that day)...and Cardona only played 9 snaps. In other words, David Andrews has played more snaps and been more critical to the Patriots' success... but Cardona was probably a Patriot at least 24-48 hours longer (assume UDFA's were signed 1-2 days after the draft with Cardona being a day 3 pick in 2015).

What say yall?

I Have several jerseys going back to Drew Bledsoe. As far as what I'll wear for next season, that'll depend on FA and The Draft.

This season I'm going to wear the Mayo that I bought his rookie year.

I'd say go With Andrews. I'd through in Wise and Jonathan Jones as options if you're looking for defensive guys with tenure. Gonzo is probably a good choice too as he could quickly become our best player.

If Gonzo becomes a 6'2 and 205 pound much faster version of Ty Law (although without the return specialist ability), he'll end up being the best CB in the league and worthy of having his jersey worn. Time will tell. I did like the rookie limited sample size that I did see!

Go with Adrian Phillips, I think he’s gonna have a big year for us !

I would say if they resign Barmore then go with it, he will be a stud.

I wasn’t a fan but had to still wear it, I had a Ben Coates jersey.

Establish league years as your criteria for measuring tenure and pick Andrews guilt free.

I plan on cycling my Mayo and Hightower jerseys.

I want to add a Barmore to the collection but I'm hesitant. I still have flashbacks of NOT resigning our good players.
