H78 said:The bitter side of me wonders if he sat out of the AFCCG after getting banged up to protect himself for FA. And if he did, the fact that he ended up going to the Broncos - the very team that picked the Pats apart that game largely due to his lack of availability - is a double gut-punch.
I get 'wonders' but I never saw any dog in him. BB saw him constantly and there would have been some payback if he felt similarly. Instead, they engaged him in what seems serious negotiations about re-upping.
