He still amounts to almost 4 Million bucks in dead money against the cap - wouldn't they get him for free? I think they lacked a runner like Dillon last year in the playoffs when Morris was out. I know Dillon is the definition of one-dimensional downhill running and would cost a roster spot, doesn't play special teams, and he's not like a couple of years ago (when they gave him the extension - did anyone ever blame the Patriots on THAT contract?). But when they needed power last season in the playoffs. Well forget this. Heath Evans is probably a better power package over Dillon.

Before that, everyone was praising the Pats LB corp. Tedy Bruschi and Junior Seau were not meant to take that many snaps last year. Not to mention, they used two relativly high draft picks on linebackers. Your point is pretty much void. Regardless, I don't really see this happening. Maybe a third down guy, Faulk had a solid season, but he has been nagged with injury issues in the past. Sammy Morris looked good, but was injured most of last year. This wouldnt be a terrible move to create competition, but I doubt he'll make the team. @subzero2401 - Seriously, this allegation regarding the Patriots “aging” linebackers wasn’t made last year until Roosevelt Colvin was on the IR.

How could you run behind that line? I think he could get to about 4 to 4.5 yards a carry behind the Patriots line, and the threat of the pass. The Lions offensive line was terrible.

He would be alright if he can pass a physical. Lions are weak. Millen is the biggest douche there is.
