If you could bring back one former Patriot that is still active in the league

[qbno12]

Martellus Bennett

Too soon ?

 

[deters]

Considering our current roster I'd have to say Jones or Collins. Jones would solidify an awesome young pass rush, but Collins would make our front 7 one of the best in the league. Can't go wrong with either one.

Talib would be another excellent choice but our secondary is already really good.

 

[BlacknGold77]

Current: Jones.

Former: Mankins. Guy gets drafted three months after Pats win SB. Go nine years without a SB. Trade him after 2013 season. Win SB during 2014 season.

current - Bennett...still mad we didnt get to see the 2 TE sets with Gronk

former - Rodney...imagine McCourty covering at FS with Harrison laying receivers out at SS

 

[Kontradiction]

Easily Hicks. Collins if he wasn't freelancing so much toward the end of his time here.

We'll see it with Dwayne Allen hopefully, his YAC is nice

 

[Pats1989]

So you don't want us to win this year?

Lol...

 

[JJR4884]

Danny Woodhead lol

 

[Bradyking12]

Danny Woodhead lol

Wouldn't mind if he can put up a productive season for us but too late now since he's on the the Ravens

 

[slam]

In thinking of the positions on the team that have some actual uncertainty...

Brandon Tate! (In case Cyrus Jones doesn't get his return game together.)

 

[Huckleberry1]

It would have to be Chandler Jones, he's the best former Patriot currently in the league.

 

[sean10mm]

Chander Jones, more sacks more better.

Honorable mention to Talib, who was 1st Team All-Pro last season.

 

[Simpelton]

Martellus Bennett

Too soon ?

I'd have taken him back happily. We could have afforded him, Unfortunately he timed the market poorly. But yeah, there's definitely work that Martellus Bennett could have done in New England, probably even with Gronk and Allen on the roster.

 

[Biffins]

Chandler Jones or Aqib Talib.

 

[Robdude]

Some people are saying it as a joke (I think) but I would want Danny Woodhead back. I just liked him. It is hard to cheer for him now.

 

[Simpelton]

Danny Woodhead lol

White can do Woodhead's job as well as Woodhead did it.

 

[Brick27]

Maybe Benjamin Watson because F[_]Ck the Ravens.

And I guess it'd be cool to potentially win a ring in both his rookie year and possibly final year.

 

[Bradyking12]

Brandon Spikes anyone?

 

[strngplyr]

Talib or Hicks. I'm comfortable with our corners though but interior pressure without having to take Flowers off the Edge would be awesome. Branch and Brown are fantastic run stoppers but I'd love to see this defense collapse the pocket up the middle more often. Hicks was a nice surprise after under performing for the Saints, earned his contract.

And taking Hicks back makes Jones less of a need with keeping Flowers on the edge. Loved Jones but felt like his sack numbers were always inflated by 2 or 3 huge games each season followed by several invisible games, especially in the post season.

Flowers and Ealy combined for 5.5 sacks, 1 FF, and 1 INT in the last two Superbowls. Not bad in the spotlight.

 

[Love The Drake]

Valentine will out play Brown more upside as a pass rusher

 

[Tunescribe]

I miss the 3 headed monster LB core (Collins, Hightower, Jones)

Not "core," corps. CORPS, d%#*!@t.
