Little puzzled over Belisuck's moves. He lets Milloy go. Lets Smith go. Both guys were instrumental in getting them to the SB(s). Smith may have not beeen super productive for them, but without his runs, they don't win last Sunday. Maybe he has his eye on a new RB in the draft? If so, does this now mean that Law may not be as secure in NE? Law in the Bills secondary, something to think about.
With Smith leaving NE, could Law be going also?

If Law is to be released, it likely would be prior to FA. He has a sizeable roster bonus in his deal. The reports are that the Pats will keep him, even if they can't re-do his deal.
Quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if Law is cut. The Pats are very strict on keeping a player's value in line with his role. Granted, Law is one of the NFL's top CB, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I could see them having trouble restructuring his deal, given the Poston brothers represent him.
As pissed as I'd be if Law is cut, given how good he is, it is kind of hard to criticize the team if it comes to that. I was pissed when they cut Milloy too, and wondered if they knew what they were doing, but the way it worked out it is hard to criticize.
I do think the Pats will let some guys go to clear room, as they likely want to make some changes to their team. Troy Brown, Roman Phifer, David Patten, Willie McGinest and perhaps even Ted Johnson are all guys who will probably have their deals re-done or face the prospect of being let go. As much as those guys are players I admire, the Pats are very cold when it comes to making cap decisions. Their draft position and some good young players may lead them to make some hard decisions, and some quality older players will be let go.
Of course, they probably will add some guys as well. Charlie Garner is one guy out there who might interest in them. He voided out of his contract and will be a FA, and his speed, run skills and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield would make him a good fit for the Pats, and at 32 he probably has a couple years left. Signing Garner and drafting a young back would go a long way towards improving the Pats rushing attack.
