Cunningham was averaging 39 defensive snaps per game before the suspension and was cut down to an average of 18 per game after, while Bolden was averaging 14.4 offensive snaps per game before the suspension and 3.5 after. Maybe there was an element of conditioning in play, but nonetheless, Belichick’s message was clear from this perspective: Cunningham and Bolden let the team down, and they’ll have to earn Belichick’s trust back in 2013.

Quick-hit thoughts around NFL & Pats – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Receiver Brandon Lloyd didn’t miss a game for the Patriots this season despite working his way through a knee injury; he played 84.8 percent of the offensive snaps and finished with 74 receptions for 911 yards and four touchdowns. With that type of production, his standing on the 2013 roster wouldn’t seem to be in question. But as is the case with most everything in the NFL, economics are a factor, too. Here are the key facts with Lloyd: He is due a $3 million bonus at some point in 2013, and has a base salary of $1.9 million. His salary cap charge is scheduled to be $4.5 million. Do the Patriots view Lloyd, his past production, and his future projection to be worth it? I’m interested to find out the answer, which might not come until after June 1, because I’m not sure it’s a slam dunk.
Bill Parcells has been thought of as one of the all-time greats for a long time, so it is with great pride that we can officially refer to him as a Hall of Famer. He deserves all the recognition he is getting and for his career to be celebrated in Canton forever.
