Best of luck, James! It was a pleasure.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Deus Irae]

Best wishes for a long and healthy life.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Heart of a champion. Good luck. Your hard work and effort was appreciated here by many.

 

[BTTA]

I put a sad emoji on it, but we should also celebrate when a player can, and does, make a decision like this for his health and family.

That man's contributions are about as underrated as it gets.

James Develin Announces Retirement on Instagram

We don't win #6 without that 2018 running game, and that running game loses half it's swagger if Develin isn't there. Thank you James, I hope you have a long and healthy retirement!

Johnson and Vitale have some big shoes to fill.

 

[Scotty]

A BIG miss....he will be missed on the team but health comes first (a future coach ?)

 

[Froob]

Hell of a career, from Brown to 3x champ. Good luck to him.

 

[DarrylS]

Congrats to a Brown Grad who no one thought would make it in the NFL..

Good player and a really good guy..

 

[PatsBoy12]

Thank you for everything, James!

 

[Kontradiction]

Enjoy your retirement, big guy!

Major bummer. Belichick knew what he was doing when he signed FA Dan Vitale.

Good to have Keene to maybe pinch hit now too.

Vitale is not a very good lead blocker. Lazar broke this down.

I thought Johnson did pretty well when he was in there. Hes more of the Develin type IMO.

 

[Steve102]

Thanks for everything James. Here's to a long and healthy retirement.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

I was expecting this. Neck injury isn’t anything to eff with. He was a great Patriot, another perfect “do your job” player. One of so many we as fans have been honored to watch and root for. Take care sir, you deserve a great and full life with your family.
