Post like this are really asinine. They show a complete lack of football knowledge AND are disingenuous. The Pats have re-signed 6 of their own players. Slater, White, Ferentz, McCourty, Folk, and Hoyer.
Slater is a an ALL-PRO special teamer.
Folk is a FG Kicker and has kicked something made something like 40 straight inside the 50. An NFL record.
White was injury last year.
Ferentz is a back-up center/guard who saw limited snaps. He may or may not make the team.
Hoyer is the back-up QB.
McCourty is the one guy who played well most of the year but got burned by the Bills at the end of the season He still have value.
Free Agency still hasn't officially started and you're whining like it's a week before the season starts. Not to mention that you're ignoring the fact that the Patriots do have limited funds to use (until they don't) and there is still the draft.
The trade of Winovich and the release of Van Noy tells me that the Pats will be looking at the Defensive Line early in the draft more so than LB. That's a good thing. Improving the D-Line improves the defense because the game is won in the trenches.
