McCourty is a no-doubt Patriots Hall of Famer as one of the best to ever suit 'em up in Foxborough. Is he also on his way to Canton, Ohio in five years?
After 3 Super Bowl rings and 13 seasons later, Devin McCourty is walking away as one of the Patriots' most decorated and respected players on and off the field.
I know what you're thinking...an aging receiver on the wrong side of 30, who has an albatross of a contract with his best years behind him. It's partially true...partially.
The move comes 12 days after the Patriots said they were searching for a new leader of their offense following a disappointing season that saw second-year quarterback Mac Jones struggle under an offense largely directed by play caller Matt Patricia and quarterbacks coach Joe Judge.
(Before you ask why one notable free agent QB's name isn't on the list, it's because there's no way he's coming back unless Kraft gives him the keys to the organization.)
