Matt Light officially retires

The New England Patriots officially placed veteran offensive lineman Matt Light on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, according to a source.

This means Light's retirement is official. With Light on the reserve/retired list, he doesn't count against the Patriots' 90-man roster limit. The move has been anticipated for more than a month.


Light, 33, played his entire career with the Patriots after the team selected him in the second round of the 2001 draft, serving as quarterbackTom Brady's blindside protector. Light was a first-team All-Pro in 2007 and a member of the AFC Pro Bowl team in 2006 and '07.


With the NFL announcing rosters would expand to 90 effective Tuesday, and with unsigned draft picks counting against that limit, placing Light on the reserve/retired list opens another spot.


It's possible Light could change his mind, but this transaction means Light is now considered retired.

Brady sure as fuck isn't happy to hear that.

Keep hearing that the Vikings could take Trent Richardson with their pick and all I can think is why. They got many more needs than to get a running back while they have one of the best in the league right now. Imo they should trade that number 3 pick.

Just read Jacksonville are looking into trading up in the Draft, so they can select Justin Blackmon

It's the fucking Vikings, what can you really expect from them?

I'll break my TV if the Vikings draft Richardson.

Idk didn't think they would actually consider that though at least. I know Running backs got a short life span, but shit Peterson got some mvp level pro bowl years left go on him still.

The Minnesota Vikings have traded the No. 3 pick to the Cleveland Browns for three picks in the 2012 NFL Draft, according to Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer.

So Richardson to the Browns.

 

[We Are Legion]

Fucking Cleveland. So many holes on that team and they just traded away half their draft to move up ONE pick?

Now I think the Vikings were just bluffing about wanting to pick Richardson.

 

[PHX]

Yeah same thing I thought think they just did that to make that pick more of a must trade for pick. Smart on their part if that was the case

RGIII :seeyou:

 

[PHX]

I see him being a case where he is just okay with the Skins and if he ever goes to another team he'll be the player in the nfl that he should be. Just don't see him ultimately working out with the Skins unless they makes some big changes.

 

[PHX]

That little girl was looking like dude why are you happy you're gonna play for the Browns :

Matt Kalil to the Vikings

Tampa Bay and Jacksonville have traded with each other
