I'd like to see him end up with the patriots...

I think that is his most likely destination. They have a history taking talented but "troubled" players and trusting that their system will straighten the guy out. It would be a great situation for TM7.

As for the NO comments, do y'all really think what he said was that far off base? I mean, this guy lost so much due to him falling in line with hometown friends. Now sure, it's ultimately his fault and his decisions, but come on. Of course he is going to be more likely to fall into old, familiar way when surrounded by old, familiar people from his life. If he goes to NOLA, they very much need to find a plan which keeps him out of those habits, and that will be tougher to do than in a place like NE.
