Matt Light returns to Patriots

It’s great to have Light back for at least one more season. He was the biggest question mark after the lockout ended, and it took a little time but with Nate Solder still unsigned and losing valuable practices it was a move the Patriots had to make.

Solder’s development will affect whether or not Light sticks around for 2012, but it’s good to know that Tom Brady’s blindside will be covered by a solid veteran even if Light does occasionally have a rough outing.

You also can’t put a price on the cohesion and personality of the offensive line. It’s pretty clear that he’s the leader of that group.
