Play from 3:21[3:21]" Brokers told us Cuba. Pat on the back. The 2008 motor trend truck of the year. The drugs changing you know."

Play from 3:41[3:41]" Back to Toyota's patriots today after setting a record breaking -- and last year -- boss is now officially onboard. For the patriots 2008 -- then and right now Brian was taking a closer look. And what that means for the patriots offense."

Play from 4:05[4:05]" Three days. Three departure. Sure the past retained a few guys notably -- Bruschi during opening weekend of this free agency season but it Monday morning came around there was one free agent and one for -- can only on the minds he treats me. Randy Moss. Was there actually changed that number 81 would give a different uniform after one monumental season with the pats.

You know we work something out you know after the season's over and -- the sky's the limit I really don't know probably be into the picture but there's your question I would love -- to retire patriot yes."

Play from 4:51[4:51]" Retirement wealth should be at least three years away that's the reportedly the boss is -- with the patriots retaining the sixth time scoreboard should go a long way toward -- Aubrey led offense to continue performing at record breaking level. It was no coincidence that the patriots scored the most points. Ever competed with moss in the lineup the quarterback that we keep that record for touchdowns in a single campaign and perhaps Wes Welker would have seventy.

Play from 6:01[6:01]" And thanking all the fans of New England on his official website the real Randy Moss docomo said on Monday quote we have some unfinished business to take care of in other words lost his focus is on winning the title with the patriots and if reports are true that he had at least one more substantial offer from another NFL team. What you make pats fans feel pretty good about Moscow and obviously dean retaining Maas and losing is not to Samuel are two most important transactions that happened so far that the agents this offseason what's next in line. Well you know it's hard to say quit they're going to -- bring -- as far as the free -- I still think quarterback for shore is their biggest need that would have most holes and I still think linebacker depth is. The second biggest need at this point you know we'll see would you say I'll have to do that's another big piece of the puzzle that you retire this you come back. Keeping Tedy Bruschi is certainly important that's a hole that they don't have to fill but even at -- arguable coming back. There's some gap needed at linebacker Rosevelt Colvin being released last week there's some room and office it's ours are outside linebackers the -- have -- I still think those two positions quarterback and linebacker are still the focus and an airplane lot of holes smaller holes. Specifically the tight end position Kyle Brady was -- were you surprised that -- I was surprised by that it it's most likely that -- an injury that -- deal -- I think he's the perfect tight -- the system I think -- year and I think that -- he is healthy -- being able to -- him later on in the offseason I think it would be great I think he's he's very important. It's a very interesting position -- because you have been Watson he's -- guy you can certainly rely on him David Thomas is not a tight -- even Spock is the only other one on the roster there are some holes to -- I think that it reinforces the importance -- that position going into the draft they would not be surprised at all if the patriots ticket tight end. Not first round maybe second third there's especially some blocking guys like Mark Ellis and it is one for sure brad caught a couple of guys that -- I think my interest and it's a very interesting position off and so by the looking at every sang as actors he. -- and players like this what does that -- for the -- well certainly there's some continuity -- that you like to -- if you -- that's such -- specialized -- but he's -- for eight years he's -- pretty -- keeping him in the -- almost -- can -- but it's very important -- of course -- fan -- we -- what he -- and the guys -- Kelley Washington it -- Larry -- as well those guys -- good -- role -- important keep him -- Jabar -- the next -- we'll -- what -- and doing greens it will -- with -- right after this we'll have more patriots coming."

Play from 8:39[8:39]" The ring here on many captains there is this big. The one you want is this big you like them apples. Available on the tundra truck that's changing you know."
