It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If the Steelers can’t beat them this year with the #1 pass defense, both Brown/Bell healthy, and the Patriots finishing up a stretch of 5 road games in 6 weeks, they should just fire Tomlin and start over.
First off, 2017 Hightower hasn’t been very good, so this news isn’t going to impact the D much IMO
According to Albert Breer, High already had a partially torn pec back in March and the Pats knew about it this whole time but were willing to take risks. Might explain why they valued David Harris’ spot so much.
Breer: Hightower’s pec muscle was torn 55 percent in March
Well maybe because he wasn't 100 percent. LB in the offseason will be a huge priority.
As are a number of other positions...
I'm in this camp too. In fact Van Noy has played better overall and been more consistent IMHO.First off, 2017 Hightower hasn’t been very good, so this news isn’t going to impact the D much IMO
They should have told him to get surgery and held him out.

There is a small silver lining in that Hightower having a 10 month off-season will give him a chance to healI'm choosing to look on the bright side: next season, we get Julian and Hightower back after a full year of rest and recuperation. Also, the gif in your signature switches on the joy light in my soul.
He's employed by the Ravens as a scout.I wonder how healthy Zack Orr is. The fact that it was a neck injury is scary though.

The Patriots agree with you.
If you look at the High contract they totally hedged their bets.
With the exception of Brady, I cannot think of another player in the BB era in which they have doled out a mega deal to a player beyond age 30.
Yea Rand was 31. Only can rationalize the signing as he was generational which he wasMoss is the only one I can think of, though "beyond 30" and "after their rookie contract" aren't exactly synonymous. NE is still very comfortable handing out a second deal, it's the 3rd one where they generally back away from the table.
