Which one?Ugh. Hurts. Bad. My fav current Patriot. One of my fav players ever. My hopes were he'd come back one more year.
I just don’t understand why everyone is responding to this tweet as if it’s from a credible source."Report"... Come on. Adam Schefter tweeting something is a report, some literal who Pats fan isn't a report. It's the equivalent of someone on here saying "I think Hightower and Cannon will retire rather than play anymore if covid is still going on"
Also the coaching role thing is beyond laughable. Does this dude know what coaching for NE means? You ain't 9-5'ing it and getting weekends off. I just don't see Hightower uprooting (he just built or bought a home in Tennessee a couple years ago) to go put in more hours especially the reason why he opted out was partly because of his diabetic mom. If he was to join a coaching staff Vrabel's would be the most likely given he lives in Tennessee
Maybe it does happen but this guy is just guessing IMO
Isn’t the cap going down a bit next year due to Covid? If so, it seems like it’d be a great year for Bill to go bargain hunting in the cap casualty bin with the relatively huge cap space he’ll have this offseason. Like 2001-2004 all over again.
I seriously look for that influx of new blood much like BB did before the 2001 season. Cornerback Terrell Buckley, guard Mike Compton, linebacker Bryan Cox, fullback Marc Edwards, quarterback Damon Huard, linebacker Larry Izzo, receiver David Patten, linebacker Roman Phifer, defensive end Anthony Pleasant, running back Antowain Smith, and linebacker Mike Vrabel all came in an contributed huge amounts. They are in great shape with cap next year. Even if he brings in 3-4 guys who contribute, it'll be a big year.Hightower is, and still will be, badly missed. But it’s not like LB wasn’t a need before this announcement came. Completely blank slate this offseason for BB to transform the team.
