Retirement coming for LB Bruschi?: The Boston Globe reports that Pats LB Tedy Bruschi is thinking about retiring after the 2009 season. The 14-year veteran isn't sure if '09 will be his swan song. "I have to give them everything I have this year and only think about what's next. I'm going to prepare myself for this season, only think about this season, and when the season is over, which is a long ways away, then you think about delving into those decisions," Bruschi said.

Fantasy Analysis

Bruschi isn't a monster IDP option in the first place and should certainly be considered nothing more than a one-week replacement off the waiver wire.
(Updated 06/23/2009).

LB Tedy Bruschi is keeping his options open as he enters his 14th season and the final year of his current contract. The veteran linebacker's role has diminished in the last few years, but he might not be ready to hang up his helmet just yet. "I have to give them everything I have this year and only think about what's next," Bruschi said during his charity golf tournament in Boston. "I'm going to prepare myself for this season, only think about this season, and when the season is over, which is a long ways away, then you think about delving into those decisions." Through the years, Bruschi has never hired an agent and has always negotiated his own contacts. He's also taken home-town discounts to remain in New England. Even if he'd like to stay beyond 2009, he is cognizant of the fact the team might want to go in a different direction at the end of the season depending on how he performs. Bruschi is now 36 years old and much closer to the end of his career than the beginning, yet he finished 2008 fourth on the team in tackles with 72 and was still producing at a high level until a knee injury ended his season in December. The 14-year veteran doesn't play on every down like he once did; he comes off the field on passing downs and is utilized primarily in rush defense situations. However, it's unlikely Junior Seau will be back again in 2009, so the Patriots may need Bruschi to resume his role as a regular starter - albeit in a limited capacity on passing downs. While his role on defense is still valuable, the Patriots might actually need his leadership this year more than ever now that Vrabel and Rodney Harrison (retirement) are no longer with the team. "I think I'll be the same leader I've always been and I hope that young guys see it as we've lost some experienced veteran leadership, and they take it upon themselves to say ???I need to be a leader now,'" Bruschi. 62/5/2009

Bruschi said Tuesday he hasn't considered whether he'll keep playing after 2009, which will be his 14th season with the team. The linebacker commented at a one-day football camp he ran for 67 youngsters at Gillette Stadium.

Advice

He said that once he retires, he'd like to remain in football. And he said he knows he can coach. But he's not sure when he will stop playing. He said that once a player reaches 10 years in the NFL, it's best not to think beyond the upcoming season. Bruschi is coming off a season in which he often came off the field on third downs and had no sacks for the first time in his career.
