It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I understood what BB was thinking when he let Wiggie go - he was looking to upgrade to the more proto typical emerging NFL TE. But I will forever appreciate that this dynasty was built on a foundation poured by some pretty unlikely guys who were about as far from proto type as you could get who made up for their measurables deficiencies with intangibles and dogged determination. I'm always happy to see one of them still out there doing what he loves and making a few bucks in the process.
When he finally hangs them up the organization should bring Wiggie back into the fold in a community relations role. There aren't many NFL'ers who actually hail from Boston, and while he would have loved to continue to play here I have always sensed that he remains deeply appreciative of the opportunity BB gave him back in 2000-2001 to play for and win a ring with his home team. And I bet like most of us BB still smiles when he thinks of Jermaine.
Hmm, I wonder if this will effect Reggie Nelson's chances of getting pst the Jags....
