Anyone who comes to the Patriots and doesn't know by now that they consider everybody expendible hasn't been paying attention. (Well, maybe not Brady, but even there you never know.) Deion Branch is a good case in point.
I was pretty impressed with Samuel's performance last season and am glad he's chosen to return. I just hope he plays at the same level and doesn't spend all season thinking how unappreciated he is.
