Pats fan here.
I want to speak about about the Patriots new interest in free agency.
The Pats do this every year. They bring in APPROX 12-14 free agents every season. The Pats activly use free agency to fix holes and such.
However, the Colvin signing signals that Pats changing focus to get young.
It may be Milloy that is traded. No, I am not crazy, but this guy is a pro-bowler, leader, and ......is getting up there in age.
Milloy once said, Tebucky is the secret reason why the defense works. The only reason his play was inconsistant was because he has played CB before and was finnally moved to S. He is starting to get the hang of not being in active coverage.
Milloy is even bigger bait. We would surely get a first rounder, and would get rid of an older player.
That is why we got Rodney Harrison. Harrison is a big hitter like Milloy, and not as hyped. Rodney also is a leader and a tough hard nosed player that wall do an excellent job stopping the run.
The Pats want to get young because they want to be competetive the next couple years. They right now feel the defense needs to be completely reworked and feel the offense is fine and can be upgraded next season.
Are the Pats morgaging the future???? Yes, they will get rid of the likes of McGinst, Ted Johnson, Otis Smith, Terrell Buckley, and such very soon. Get young now and stay young.
Just my two cents. This is from a Pats fan who has heard alot of rumblings lately.
