Patriots and Lawrence Guy have agreed that Guy will return. They are working on a 4 year contract similar to the one Guy signed previously with the Patriots.
This is good.
Between the guys we have signed and Guy coming back, or DL should be pretty stout.

QB, Elite level WR and Elite LB is what I see as our needs.
Not necessarily in that order.

Way to go coach
Hasn't it always stood for that? The guy starts planning a season the day after a SB win and fumes over taking off time to be celebrated in a parade.

I made my last post without seeing yours. To a degree you were being worshipped at your parade, and then reality followed. I was too young for Vietnam, and too old for anything that followed (other than Granada while I was in college, but that was small). I don't think one aspect of military life during a war can be appreciated... the constant facing of ones mortality. I can't say I appreciate it either since I was never forced to do it. I can only picture it, and the picture isn't one I would want to experience.

I appreciate engaging with you more knowing you went through it (and came out the other side). I say the same to BK and others as well.

Food for thought, Ken. You might see a crack in Miami and Buffalo game plan.
Players playing a lot of snaps don't last as long.
You mentioned Van Noy, now look at Milano:

"An assortment of injuries limited him to appearing in just 11 regular-season games. this last year........
In 2018, he was the NFL’s only player with at least 75 tackles, three interceptions and three fumble recoveries"

Sounds like Buffalo rode him pretty hard, doesn't it?

I'd take Milano in a heartbeat - for the right price. I'd negotiate telling him he;ll last longer rotating in and out......

Van Noy reminds me of the young couple that stop in a jewelry store and the old saleswoman puts a 3 carat diamond on her finger "to try it on"
Imagine the look on the young girls face when she is showed a 1/2 carat diamond?
Van Noy is not coming back for what he is worth.....
So 2 years later after Milano took the Buffalo money, the increased snaps and the abuse. Milano is now out for the 2nd season in a row. Stick a fork in it, this goose is cooked!

And the season hasn't even started. Next year he'll be back to prove it was nothing. Milano, 30, left practice earlier this week after grabbing his arm. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Milano sustained a torn bicep and will be out indefinitely.

I severed my right bicep in 2004. It took four and half hours of surgery to reattach it to my collar bone because once cut, the top of the muscle cannot be reinserted through the protective sleeve. I have no after effect, but I don't try to slam it into a moving 230 lb running back every week or have to extend it and stop a moving object going away from me.

Medical procedures have changed a lot, but I was in a sling 24/7 for six weeks.

I remember my mother telling me at 13 “you’re accident prone” I then grew up and they put me in charge of safety…..
