The New England Patriots will be making some key decisions very soon. Some will be related to talent, other money.
I have separated them by category/talent.
I will break them down throughout the next few days, talking about each grouping.

One comment so far... to “Patriots big decisions”

Bruschi, Seau, Brown and Harrison will probably choose to retire,
Moss and Samuel should be kept here, Gaffney, Paxton and Izzo should have effort made to keep.
Wahington will probably be let go, Try to keep Stallworth and Colvin. Of the RExclusively Restricted Agents, effot to sign Ventrone should be made. Just my own thoughts…
