Nothing like a good Bruschi; Bruschi “King of Linebackers” to return to the Pats!

 

Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe reports that Teddy Bruschi and the Patriots have agreed to a contract

Linebacker Tedy Bruschi isn’t ready to retire just yet.

Bruschi and the Patriots have agreed to terms on an undisclosed contract, ensuring that the fan favorite will return for his 13th season with the club, according to a league source.

Bruschi, who turns 35 in June, started all 16 regular-season games and all three playoff contests. He led the Patriots in tackles during the regular season (99), as well as solo tackles (69).

Awesome news! Bruschi still has games left in his tank. He will be a cruical part of our run next year. I thought if he did retire it would have been extremely hard to replace him. I am extremly happy about his decsion and on that note:

Cheers to Bruschi! Now everyone crack a cold one for Teddy! Cheers!

Sam I am Update: Officically Released

Its offical Sam I Am has been released. Now he must clear waivers to sign with the celtics.  Signs point to that he will clear and his choice is the celtics.

The Los Angeles Clippers today waived point guard Sam Cassell.

In 38 games played this season, Cassell averaged 12.8 points, 4.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 25.7 minutes per game. In his 15th NBA season, Cassell had missed the last four games with a sprained right wrist while missing 12 games earlier in the season with a strained left calf.

“After weighing all of the options and after conversations with Sam we believe this is the best solution for this team,” stated Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor. “We know and appreciate the many contributions Sam made during the last three years, and we wish him nothing but the best.”

Cassell brings leadership and expirence to the point guard spot. I believe that Sam will bring us over the top and closer to a championship here in Boston. He has been there before and he also knows how to run an offense and work the refs.

After being released (or about to be released) by the Kansas City Chefs (snickers comerical), Ty Law could be coming home.

“Hey, you know what? My heart was always with the Patriots. I always have been. This is where it all started for me,” said Law. So of course, it’s a final step for the Patriots. It’s football. I’m just looking forward to playing football wherever that might be, and just play for a contender. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.”

“It’ll be interesting to see if they’re interested,” said Law, who played for the Pats from 1995-2004.” Boston Herald

Ty Law was one of my all time favorite Patriot. He is getting up there in age but he knows the system and knows how Bilicheck and the Patriots work. Since Assante is all but gone Law would fit in nicely. He would also be a great tutor for all young d-backs on the Patriots.
