It's only fair that a former first round pick with 7 Pro Bowls, 2 of which came after he was traded, would be a popular candidate for a guy Belichick let go too soon. Was the unexpected September 2009 trade of Richard Seymour a case of letting a guy go too soon?
It's only fitting that I follow up part one which was about Hall of Famer Ty Law with discussing his replacement Asante Samuel, another frequently mentioned name in the Belichick let him go too early contest.
It is said that Bill Belichick would rather get rid of a guy a year too early than a year too late. I was going to write a post about this, but that really can't be done. Instead, it's going to be several posts. Here's the first.
We all know that Bill Belichick has a certain affinity for the United States Service Academies. Since President Trump reversed a Defense Department rule which required athletes from the service academies to fulfill their active-duty requirement before pursuing a professional sports career last summer, and the Air Force Academy had a pretty solid senior kicker, I think you know where I'm going.
