00:00But I'm assuming right now part of the process that's going on is Mike Vrabel is learning

00:04everybody on the roster and Ryan Cowden's being brought up to speed and they're figuring

00:09out who they might want to keep.

00:11Are there any guys you think, Tom Curran, that we think of as foundational pieces they'll

00:17be building around that might actually not be here?

00:20Maybe even some of the guys they re-signed last offseason.

00:23Do you think we'll get any wow departures at any point this offseason?

00:29The chance exists.

00:30I think that there might be.

00:31You have to scrutinize those signings you made because if we're going to talk about

00:35cornerstone type players, who are the Patriots true cornerstone, can't part with them type

00:41players?

00:42Gonzalez and May.

00:43Yes.

00:44That's it.

00:45Yeah.

00:46That's it.

00:47You could smuggle in Hunter Henry under the wire.

00:50I don't know if you're going to, because of his cost and his leadership and his production

00:55all have been really good.

00:57I don't know if you could say that with Barmore, for instance, and I hope that he gets healthy,

01:02but I don't know if you can say that with him.

01:05I think Kyle Duggar is a very good player.

01:09I don't think his cap hit at $14 million makes it unmanageable.

01:13I think it's 14.

01:17But that leaves us with Unwenu, Barmore, Stevenson, Godshaw.

01:24I don't think any of those guys would be beyond the reach of the Patriots looking at

01:31it and saying, that's too much for you.

01:33But you wouldn't predict it?

01:34You wouldn't predict it necessarily?

01:35No, I'm not predicting.

01:36No, I'm not predicting.

01:37Just making sure.

01:38Without talking to anybody, I don't, but I mean, I don't, anything that's not nailed

01:45down could go.
