Every year there is a turnover on every roster in the NFL. This year was no exception for the Pats with retirements, trades and losses to free agency. CB Ellis Hobbs and FB Heath Evans both left the team. Hobbs was traded to the Eagles on draft day for two fifth round picks. Evans went to the Saints as a free agent.
Both players were seeing additional playing time, particularly Evans who was carrying the ball more and was a bigger part of the offense than when he played for the Pats. He recently suffered a season ending injury when he tore his ACL. He will face an uphill battle when he returns due to his age and competition from younger players.
Hobbs also ended up on Injured Reserve when he injured his neck last week against the Cowboys. He will undergo surgery and his career is in question due to the nature of the injury.
I always get a kick out the "experts" when they say that Brady has 3-5 years left on his career. If they know that much about the future, I should contact them and maybe get some tips on the stock market. Maybe they can tell me about my future.
