wait, Brady got dumped in '08?IMO the only players in the BB era who were dumped the year prior that could have significantly and favorably impacted the team's Super Bowl chances the following year were:
Ty Law in 2005
Deion Branch in 2006
Sammy Morris in 2007
Tom Brady & Asante in 2008
Maybe AH in 2013.
Maybe Revis in 2015.
Rosie Colvin was a huge loss in ‘07. AD’s role was in coverage when Colvin was healthy and he was erasing every TE the Pats played. AD picked up the slack and was a very good pass rusher when he took over for Colvin and almost had three sacks in the Super Bowl. However, no one was able to defend that long catch and run to Kevin Boss in the second half of the Super Bowl.IMO the only players in the BB era who were dumped the year prior that could have significantly and favorably impacted the team's Super Bowl chances the following year were:

Edit: I was confused by your list as you list Sammy Morris and Tom Brady as injured players in 2007 and 2008.
Kind of makes sense when you recall Glenn's stopovers at the Italian sausage cart outside Foxboro Stadium. That might've swayed Brady away from avocado ice cream and the TB12 method. Garbage in, garbage out.Brady and Glenn would’ve been a sick combo
I think Deion in 06 was the biggest. Not even close.IMO the only players in the BB era who were dumped the year prior that could have significantly and favorably impacted the team's Super Bowl chances the following year were:
EDIT: removed Tom and Sammy Morris as they were injured- not dumped.
Ty Law in 2005
Deion Branch in 2006
