A very realistic scenerio for the Pats is that Moss, Samuel, Gaffney, and
Gay leave for more money, Bruschi and Seau retire, and the Pats do not
pay the excessive bonuses that are due to Stallworth and Washington.
Who are the young players the Pats have drafted the past two years to
to replace them? Poor drafts converted the Pats from a very good team
to a lousy team after Bill Parcells left.
I don't see that as a realistic scenario either!
I highly doubt Gaffney and Gay leave for more money, but neither is irreplacable.
Moss might leave for more money, but it would be really dumb IMO. We could franchise him or just pay him the money he is looking for. If he does leave, we can keep Stallworth. Samuel is probably gone... I'll give you that.
Bruschi and Seau retire? Could happen, but I don't think it is likely that the BOTH do.
Stallworth is icing on the cake so long as we have Moss. If Moss leaves, we keep Stallworth. Washington is easily replaced by C.Jackson IMO.
The only danger I see is the need to get another solid CB and maybe another starting LB or two.
