Brandon Lafell to the Patriots

[Captain Morgan]

can't say for sure, but I think I just heard someone on ESPN say the Patriots lost their top 5 receivers

last year or the year before.  They were talking about our situation.  I wasn't paying close attention.

[Kuech the Sneak]

can anyone recall the last time a team lost it's top 2 wr's in one off season? i can't.

Well too 4 if you count Hixon and ginn
