07:58 AM ET 04.19 | A New England mainstay with tenure dating back to his 2001 draft year, may be hanging up his spikes. Patriots left tackle Matt Light recently declined to comment on whether he will or won't retire at the relatively young age (for an offensive lineman) of 33. A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that Light will indeed retire. It's unknown when the move will be official. Presumably, the Patriots would like to keep it under wraps until after the draft, so that a replacement on the depth chart can be selected. Nate Solder, a first-round pick in 2011, is expected to replace Light in the starting lineup. ... [Light] is one of only three Patriots players whose careers trace to the team's Super Bowl years.

... [Light] is one of only three Patriots players whose careers trace to the team's Super Bowl years.
Including 2008, where the Giants made him look like one huge revolving door.

As painful as the memory is, line play was the key to that game, and the Giants' line did the job. The Pats' lines, both of them, looked worn down and tired.

If this is the case you can count on BB selecting an OL in the higher rounds of the draft.

There are only 3 players on the Pats that were on the team last year when they played in the SB?

I miss Kevin Faulk. He's still on the roster, and has even said that he plans to play this season, but after his injury two years back he never really contributed. If he can't do better than last year, I don't see a place for him.
And if he proves me wrong, I'll be happy.

Really dude? 33? Brian Urlacher is a 34 year old (by the time the next season starts) MLB and he's still kicking ass and taking names.

Hard to imagine him retiring after the run they had last year. But probably a good call..he has his rings..why damage the body further.
