Moss will get in partly thanks to the second act the Pats gave him. Probably Gronk. Vinatieri for sure. Maybe Welker. Not many though. It’s the money ball way Bill builds a team, no over paying, that let’s a lot of the stars walk. While keeping the team deep. What’ll really keep folks out is the way they drop off when the Pats are through, Welker was nobody in Miami, then basically nobody again in Denver, honestly I don’t know if he’s still in the league even. Branch was great in NE, crap in Seattle, then great again when he returned to NE. They definitely maximize talent.
Vinatieri has been with the Colts longer than with the Pats.
I thought Bruschi was on his way before his career was cut short.
