I heard too that he might get picked up by Parcells and end up in Dallas.

It's really too bad how his career has turned out. I have never bashed Drew because he always did whatever was asked of him when he was with the Pats. His first few years on the team he was putting up Hall of Fame type numbers. Then he had little protection on the O' line and spent much of his following seasons getting up on his feet after some vicious sacks. And let's face it, he lost whatever it was he had at the start of his career.

I still refuse to bash Drew, though still many do. He did come in when the Pats needed him most, remember the AFC Championship game against Pittsburgh in 2001? He came in and got the job done. And furthermore, he did what was best for the team that year by being a supporter, not a detractor, of Tom Brady. Can you imagine a guy like Randy Moss or Fredie Mitchell finding himself in that spot?

I wish him well and think he's a heck of a nice guy still.
