Great special teams player will be missed. Hope that someone can step up and replace him.

This is one player I was hoping we'd get back...has anyone heard how Bellamy's rehab has been going? Does he have another year in him? He might be a good back up to Bullocks...or do we draft a safety this year? Mitchell was a 5th rounder so there's a chance a good special teamer can be found in the later rounds...but I like him...especially before the Dolphins QB blew out his knee with a very cheap shot. I thought the guy should have been suspended for the year.

Just in case y'all didn't see this. This was on the same page that said we are talking about trading Stallworth. So Mel Mitchell is no longer with us, I guess we don't have to worry about him getting injured anymore.

I hate that we lose this cat, but it's just the way it is. Hope he gets a chance with them. Was def. a good special teamer...but I think with Smith, Bellamy and Bullocks, he saw the writing on the wall. Pats need a young kid to come in and take over.

So do we shoot for a kid in the draft? or are we set with what we got now?

Maybe this is why we picked up Stoutmire.
