Troy Brown's plans for 2008?

[Disco Volante]

He'll be 37 years old when the season starts.

I’m assuming most of you see this as a clear cut “He’s retiring” situation, but – something I felt like discussing on here regardless.

Our WR's as of today...

Wes Welker
Chad Jackson
Kelley Washington
C.J. Jones

he went thru a lot of rehab last year, so I think he gives it another go.

Until Moss signs, he's a definite re-sign... after that, time will tell. BB seems to love having him around. I know they talk of Faulk as Mr. Patriot, but to me, that appellation belongs to Troy Brown until such a day he decides otherwise.

I'm going to say they re-sign him. Because of these reasons:
1) Moss doesn't look like he's going to be re-signed at this point. At least, assuming he doesn't re-sign, since he hasn't yet.
2) The WR's in this draft aren't ready to play right away. They could get a WR in rounds 1 or 2 that would be very good, but they probably couldn't be a #1 or #2 this year. Not sure if Brown could be a #1 or #2, but I'm sure he could give it a go.

That's just my opinion.

One more go.
At least I hope so. Even if it's in a limited role. TB is the epitome of what it means to be a team player. This man is a true role model for youngsters involved in sports.

Jerry Rice ended up retiring at age 42. Also was a Pro-Bowl/Super Bowl starter at age 38.

Just posting the most recent reference.

He will also be just 1 year older than Marvin Harrison when the season begins.

I hope he retires with dignity, not as a player with diminished skills..

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

The Troy Brown era is over, he could not compete at the end of the yr, and Belichick gave him one last token apperence against Miami.. He had a great carrer, and was glad he was a Patriot..

In another day or so, when Randy Moss is lost to free agency,

Troy Brown will be re-signed at the veteran minimum to appease

the season ticket holders and the Patriot's fanbase.

 

[LiveShot]

I believe Troy will retire there just isn't a role for him on the club. Maybe they will bring him back as a coach.

 

[Disco Volante]

I hope he retires with dignity, not as a player with diminished skills..

Hey, people were saying the same thing with Favre before the 2007 season…

Not the most comparable of situations at all really, but again – just throwing other examples out there.
