DC, fair enough. I don't think the snark is necessary but yeah, I hear what you're guffawing and others are saying about the concussions. As Red said, it seemed like he was pursuing playing next year by talking to Tampa, so my query was more from the Pats perspective...and I was wondering why they seemed uninterested, if they were.
The concussions could very well be the reason for that but then again, I am not aware of him suffering one during the playoffs, when he continued to suit up. So did the Pats just say "at this point, he's suffered a bunch of them, so we should move on or make a very low offer"? Or something along those lines?
Kenny, good point. Maybe they did. There was no report of an offer and there sometimes is a report that X player has an offer outstanding, but who knows with the Pats? It's not as if they are transparent.
In the end, Red's answer seems quite plausible.
Thanks and carry on.
