Patriots excited to welcome back Brady
For the New England Patriots, all signs point to the healthy return of quarterback Tom Brady in 2009.
The decision to trade away backup quarterback Matt Cassell was a huge show of confidence in where Brady stands in his rehab from the knee injury, which at what time was called into question.
Had the team had any doubts at all, you would think they would have held onto Cassell for at least a few more months. Instead, the team has the confidence that Brady will be back and ready to play at a Pro Bowl level.
Now it’s just a matter of Brady getting back out on the field and shaking off some of the rust from missing nearly a year of football.
The team has made some upgrades since his injury, bringing in veteran running back Fred Taylor and tight end Chris Baker. Those two players should give them even more weapons on the offensive side of the ball.
