And don't forget Blount's run against PIT.

Edelman had a reception in the flat in the Balt playoff game (his rookie year in 2010, we got killed 33-14) where he got hit about 6 times behind the LOS and still managed to gain a couple of yards out of it.

All the best to James, I had a feeling he'd retire given it was a neck injury and his position. A great Patriot.

Buona fortuna e grazie James !

Oh well that sucks, can’t blame the guy.

Thanks for the contributions!

This position deserves hazard pay.

That's sad. A great Patriot.

Cat-like sadness? Is that copyright infringement?

True underdog story. Very important member to this ball club. He will be missed. Please rehab and get yourself physically right Tasmanian Develin. Thank you for everything!!!

Love this guy... A core player to our success. He should be mentioned with Daryl Johnston.

He will be remembered and missed. Will be hard to find another one like him

Smart move. Neck injuries are not a joke.

Brady on a speed dial ...

Well, the good news is that Paul Perillo jumped off a bridge...

He was chasing Andy Hart.

As many have said already, a fan favourite and so crucial in the run game. A real grinder. Disappointed but health is number 1. All the best in your future endeavours.

Retiring? So soft, smh

We all knew this was coming.
This dude was a warrior.
Huge impact on offense. Very underrated. Class guy. Will be badly missed. Was pure joy for me watching him play.
He's young, but you don't worry about James Develin. He will excel at whatever he does.

What an off season.

Yep...Worst. Off-season. Ever.

Sadly I saw this coming as soon as I noticed him walking off the field in Miami...

Called this a long time ago.

He will not be easy to replace.
