Harrison has torn quad, season over

John Lynch coming back?!

Thanks Rodney....

I would like to be the first to THANK Rodney for the last 6 years. I knew of Rodney before he came here. I thought he was just a big cheap shot artist. That could not have been further from the truth. Rodney left everything he had out on the field and was a tremendous teamate. I will truly miss listening to his insightful comments. You will forever be a New England Patriots #37!

Best of luck in your recovery!

What a year for Patriots. Brady, Morony and now Rodney.... If anyother team can have one injury, they probaly won't win more then 2-3 games a year,
I hope Lynch can come.

We'll miss you, Rodney!

Now that Harrison is out and will be placed on the IR, will the Patriots sign SS Lynch? The two sides left on good terms, according to all reports.

Forget John Lynch. Sign TY LAW to play safety! He's faster than Lynch, knows the defense, and isn't afraid to hit either.

Ty Law

Tough luck... football can be so frustrating when you bust your *** working so hard and then it all goes away from you in a flash.

Hopefully we'll see Rodney on the field again next year - he has the heart, the question is if his body will take it.

Thanks Rodney for your years of hard work! Man, we're gonna miss him

Rodney you are a true stand-up guy, best of luck to you in your life after football. I will really miss the outstanding way you carried yourself on the field and made opposing receivers shudder...

Rodney, I hope you can come back one more time. But if you don't we understand. You have a heart of a lion, and more importantly a heart of a Patriot. I have been a fan since I was 6 yearsold (now 35), and you are one of the greatest Patriots of all time. I hope you will be a part of this team in some capacity for a long time to come.

Ty Law... It worked for me in Madden.

Rodney, I hope you can come back one more time. But if you don't we understand. You have a heart of a lion, and more importantly a heart of a Patriot. I have been a fan since I was 6 yearsold (now 35), and you are one of the greatest Patriots of all time. I hope you will be a part of this team in some capacity for a long time to come.

To sign Law or Lynch, there has to be room on the cap. Anyone know what the contract demands are of either player, what the PATS have to play with in CAP money and whether they would get any cap money this season should Harrison decide to retire? Reiss, any comment on Cap money?

Bring Johnny Lynch back!!!!!

And the hits just keep on comin.....

Loved to watch you play Rodney! Good luck.

Damn, another injury. Am dealing with the Maroney injury just fine. He's had to many injury's since he started and I think he's never lived up to the potential. The Rodney injury hurts though. Have always loved to watch him play. He will truly be missed by this Pats Fan!

if he even sniffs the hall, then barry bonds and every other steroid played should get a chance too. unreal

Are you sure that was not supposed to say "JD Drew hurt his quad"?

Does this mean we have one less player on the field likely to take out a Patriot defender's knee?

Last REALLY significant play....couldn't pry the ball OFF of a Giants Receivers helmet; a Receiver who had all of SIX receptions on the year.
A play that will be remembered FOREVER.

18-1.

get back on the HGH

I was so devestated when he went down - you just knew it was bad - and so did Teddy when he rushed out to the field and hugged/comforted him. Rodney is by far my favorite player and I can't believe this could be it!!!!
Much love and speedy recovery, Rodney.

Rodney,
All Patriot fans hope you will be back. You are the essence of good hard nosed football.

Rodney is the best SS we've ever had. He will be missed and lets all cross r fingers for a return next season.

Thanks Rodney. Get well. Gonna miss those slobber flying bone crushing safety blitz sacks.

Damn the Jets and their voodoo dolls!

Rodney,

You left everything you had on the field. Thanks for doing everything you did and for leading the Patriots defense to two World Championships.

thank you rodney, i hope you enter the hall of fame as a patriot, best of luck

What goes around comes around. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Have a nice retirement.

Feels like my dog died.
A true Patriot!
We'll miss you Rodney!

Best of luck, Rodney.
You were a huge part of our super bowl wins
and are one great player who will be sorely missed.

HAHA.. Good Ridence.. Patriot's are going down this year and so are there players.. I just wish they would make the playoff to get beat out by another Manning..which one? Flip a coin....................

Rodney will be missed. Lynch seems to be the logical replacement although Merriweather has played better of late.

One of my favorite players. It's so hard to see him miss all this time the last few years. It's too bad that early days when he was conisdered a dirty player was a stigma that stuck with him, unfairly from the years that I watched him.

Ty Law ???? I don't think that he would help all that much. John Lynch would be a much better fit for the team right now.

Rodney you are truly one of the best in the league! Thank you for all that you have done and wishing you a great recovery!!!

Anwain Spann

Thanks for everything Rodney!

Who's going to be responsible for laying cheap shots now? Can someone from the Pats bench take up the mantle of spearing, late hits, and illegal tackles by the helmet?

Couldn't have happened to a dirtier player, who hopefully has piled onto his last late tackle....My favorite Harrison moment of all-time is watching him get torched on Tyree's Greatest-Super-Bowl-Play ever.

18 wins and one GIANT loss!

How's that 16-0 banner working for you all?

Ty law isn't walking though that door folks. Lynch may be apossibility, but i lean maybe towards Junior coming back.

probably none of the above.

"If anyother team can have one injury, they probaly won't win more then 2-3 games a year"

Yes, no other teams have injuries.

Karma

Merriweather will fill in just fine. He is a hard hitter and faster in coverage. He has been groomed to play this position and now is his chance. What he lacks in experience he will make up for in speed.

harrison done
brady done
maroney done

all this equals

patriots wil finish 3rd or last place tis year

i'll miss rodney, but all these injuries are due to the hgh use.

If Rodney does decide to retire would he go into coaching or the broadcast booth? He could easily do either. I would like to see him go into coaching, I think any team would highly value his leadership, insightfulness, and passion. He has so much credibility, because what he says and does has translated to success. His personality is kind of "made-for-TV" but his contribution to the game would be best served by teaching others the attitude and work ethic that has made himself and so many around him successful.

I hope he doesn't retire, but you can only go at that speed for so long before the body says no more. And you have to be lucky.

You are my favorite player Rodney! I will miss you terribly. I only hope whoever the Patriots sign to help the club that they will play with at least half the intensity you did. They will never be able to replace you. You are one of a kind and I want to thank you for everything you gave to the Patriots and the fans! God bless you Rodney!

Dirtiest Player in Football.... May his career RIP.

Vince Wolfork, come down and collect your winnings.

Jeff Bagwell- you must be proud of yourself going on other team's message boards to post happy thoughts about injuries. I see your parents raised you well.

Rodney had a great Swing in golf as well...i know he is into reffing hope i dont see him reffing anytime soon and see him back next year!!

Love Rodney Harrison but he is done. You're telling me he's going to want to rehab for another year to come back for potential one or two more seasons? I don't see it.
With Tank Williams coming back next year we are well stocked.

mike,

do you think we can get by with sanders and meriweather manning the safeties? Aren't both of them free safeties? How wil this affect our run D?

It was nice to see Timmy Manning add his idiotic comment. Thank you for your input Timmy. Now go back and do your first grade homewok and be sure to have your cookies and milk before you go to bed with your teddy bear tonight.

Thank you Rodney. Moving on, however, I have to believe that instead of looking to a free agent like Lynch it is going to be time for Meriweather to step up and become an every-down player. Lynch was cut because he couldn't learn to the system and he was too slow. In typical Belichick fashion, I think the Pats will be looking for the young kids to step up in the absence of a great defensive leader.

What has the NFL really done to address the injury factor in the game? Not much. Maybe the field should be lengthened and widened to allow for more athletic plays instead of collisions?

Rodney, we'll miss you a ton. You are one of the all-time Patriots. Take good care of yourself and get better. Love to see you back within the organization in some capacity if it can't be on the field.

Lynch was cut fo salary cap issues (needed to do so before Wk 1) and wasn't re-signed because we haven't needed him with meriweather's improvement and needs at other spots. I don't buy that Lynch couldnt learn system, instead I think he knows it okay and will be ready to come back and continue where he left off now that there is a definite need.

timmy manning - have you watched the Colts lately? they look sloppy . . . it's pretty pathetic that you wish ill on any player (like him or not).

I love comments from idiots that can't spell. Yes Timmy Manning, I'm talking to you.
"Good Ridence": Don't you mean "riddance"?
"Patriot's": Another moron who can't differentiate between plural and possessive.
"there players": Need I say more?
If you're gonna mouth off like a coward under the protection of anonymity, at least don't look like a moron in the process. As the old saying goes, "better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than open it and remove all doubt".

Rodney must have been one of the best. Witness the hate messages on this board.

it's a shame this didn't happen a decade ago....couldn't have happened to a bigger pile of dog excrement

Hopefully that's not the end of his career, don't want him to miss out on next year's super bowl ring.

rodney was the greatest! fav d player. thanks man!

A true champion - Rodney Harrison.

Rodney - I pray for you quick and complete recovery. Thanks for all you have done for the Patriots and their fans. You're the best!

John Lynch is better than Rodney Harrison.

Thanks for your work ethic, Rodney. I'm sorry your body seemed to constantly fail you when your mind had worked so hard to get it to a particular place.

I lost count of how many times you've been injured during your Patriots career. You worked so hard to get back every time. And you did. But it was never long before your body inevitably found a way to undermine all of your determined efforts.

Your such a tough football player, but your time with the Pats always seemed like an injury waiting to happen. We're all so sorry for you that it had to be like that.

We'll miss you and your leadership. Thanks for everything.

Rodney Harrison is truly a great player and a great Patriot! It was always fun to watch him. If he really has a season ending injury, the fans of New England will miss you! Good Luck and I hope we see you soon!
Greetings from Switzerland, Europe!

Thank you Rodney. My son is here and he says thank you Mr. Harrison.

The way you handled the difficult admission of HGH was such a good example for how to face difficult mistakes.

Thanks for being a solid person on and off the field.

We hope you can come back but if not, then good luck in whatever else you might do.

Never bought that "dirty player" crap. Rodney, along with Troy Brown and Tedy Bruschi, have been the heart & soul of the team. If someone could come back from such a devastating injury it would be one of those three.

Rodney should be considered one of the best to ever put on a Pats uniform. Those who call him a dirty player are probably happy with how the NFL now fines players for "unnecessary roughness" which 10 years ago was a simple hard hit. Football is a tough sport, in my opinion this guy played the game the way it should be played - like a warrior!

Your teammates love and respect you, and that's what's most admirable to me. I will miss your spirit. You are a true Patriot.

I know that Rodney spent most of his career in San Diego but I will always consider him a true Patriot. He Immediately came in and set a tone on defense, was a leader, displayed true character and was stand-up guy. I hope he's back, but if he's not , Rodney we love you and respecte you and you will be elected into the Patriots Hall of Fame someday!

You Rodney Harrison are the "ultimate Warrior" , someone will fill-in for you but nobody will replace you. It's been our pleasure to watch you perform, and show your leadership both on and off the field.
That we will really miss.
Good Luck.

Man, that was tough watching you leave the field Rodney. You personify hard work, hard hitting and being prepared. Hey, you had a great run. Got your rings. Going to the hall. Most importantly, you went out like a soldier. A true Patriot thorough and through. A Champion and I think I speak for all here when I say "We love you man and we'll miss you!"

I hope you continue to be part of the Patriots org. You can still inspire and you've got a Home here.

Nice admin work on the trolls. I think. I can only assume the strategy is to give them enough rope to hang themselves.

Now run along back to Pro Football Talk, you worms. Florio probably has a story about Brady's leg POSSIBLY being amputated IF the worst happens. That should brighten up your day after a tough evening for you last night.

John Lynch or Ty Lay we need help asap

Rodney, thanks for being true Patriots. We'll sure miss you...Best of luck with your recovery.

Yo, this year proves once and for all that cheaters never prosper. And that karma will come back around like a muthaf*****.

A Patriot to the core, a football player's football player. More challenges for Belichick, and this could become his greatest coaching achievement. Ty Law or John Lynch--given the way things are going, might as well grab both of them now.

Rodney was one of the best things that's happened to the New England Patriots organization. If he retires, I hope the NFL football fraternity shows him the ultimate respect by once again voting him the league's Dirtiest Player next year too.

Watching Rodney Harrison last night leave the field left no doubt in my mind that this was indeed the "carreer ender"...Tough nut, and absolute the best safety the Pats have ever had, but when you play 100 mile per hour like Rodney does, its bound to catch up to you. Thanks for the play, the championships, and the commitment to excellence and leadership. You will always be the model for smart, intimidating , hard hitting postional play at safety now and for years to come.... Go #37!!!!!!!!

He is the ultimate warrior.... get well soon...

Get Law or Lynch here now...PLEASE!

I tip my cap! Rodney was a true Patriot! He always brought the WOOD, played hard, never complained why me, and always played whistle to whistle! A real warrior/football player! Big or small, he never backed down! We will miss him!

Bring back Troy Brown!! Rodney was a fab player, clean mind & body! In fact all Boston players (Sox, Celts, Bruins) are clean-cut, never swear, never take steriods, model athletes, and have outstanding character. Only the other teams have bad coaches and troublemaker players!!

I am glad Harrison didn't play for my team. How can you cheer for a guy like that. I am not glad he got hurt, you never want to see anyone get hurt, but he is dirty and talks too much trash. I am not even a Pats hater, but he and Teddy B are just jerks. There are a lot of stand up guys in the organization, Robert Craft included, but I don't think Belichick or the aforementioned players will ever win man of the year.

What goes around comes around. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Have a nice retirement.

If this is true, you will be treated like the dumbass you are very soon.

Never seen anyone put their body on the line like Rodney and now all you receivers in the NFL can breathe a sigh of relief knowing Rodney wont take your head off next time you try a 10 yard slant across the middle... get better Rodney and come back next year if not ill see you in 5 years at the hall of fame induction!

Rodney,
If you are reading this, please know that we will never forget what you have given to this organization. We will never forget your dedication, hard work, and loyalty. You embody what it means to be a New England Patriot. I have always admired the way you carry yourself. Gentleman in every way off the field and a Tasmanian Devil on it. I think I speak for all of Patriot Nation when I say that we hope this is not the last time you put on the Red, White and Blue, but if it is, please know that we will NEVER forget you. We will never forget the day you walked into training camp and established yourself as the pattern for what it means to be a Patriot. May God bless you in all you do, may He give you strength and healing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Don't worry Rodney, Get better soon and there is always next year
LJ

Rodney I loved watching you play for the New England Patriots! You are a true football player in every sense of the word and the New England Patriots are so lucky to have you on their team. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to say it, but my favorite Rodney Harrison moment was a couple years ago when he was tackling Marvin Harrison on a long pass. Rodney grabs his facemask, turns it, then his hand slips off so he grabs Marvin's facemask with the OTHER hand and breaks his own shoulder when he lands.

Teddy B is a jerk....funniest thing I read on this page LOL

Teddy is one of the classiest guys in football do your research before making moronic comments like that.

Thanks for the year #37

Rodney,
Best of luck. Thanks for the years, glad you didn't sign with the Raiders. Hurt to see you taken off the field like that.

... I don't doubt that Harrison will be missed. But let's not forget the fact that # 31 has been playing well too!

Boo-hoo old man cheap shot himself gets hurt... what a bum. The Patriots won't even make the playoffs just like the equally overrated Cowboys.

Thanks for the passion Rodney, you will be missed.It was a sureal moment when he was carted off the field. Hope its not the end of your career, you were always fun to watch

Thanks Rodney get well soon. I hope to see you again in an NFL game.

As for the people that want Lynch did you not see him play in the preseason? The guy was slow, old and awful. 31 other teams still havent tried to sign him. That should say something.

rodney, i love you as a player and as a person. i felt so bad for you when you got hurt again. i think your body is telling you something. although i would love to see you back next year, i hope you retire, for you and your family's sake. you are a young man and have a lot of life ahead of you. there is life beyond football. i would hate to see you get hurt again. all of us fans love you and thank you for being a great player and a great person. my thoughts are with you. good luck and best wishes.

This is a tough blow to the team...already having lost Brady and Maroney and possibly Sammy Morris too. Don't know how they will be able to come back from such losses...but, they are the Patriots...and Ty Law and John Lynch are both out there.....Get em both!!! Looks like we could need them both this season. Great game last night.....if Harrison has to go out...not a bad game to go out on. Good Luck Rodney....we will miss you for sure. And if this is it.......you are a hall of famer who played his heart out for 15 years. Nothing but respect and admiration for you! I hope this injury gets cleared up and you have a great retirement!!

This sucks.

Isn't this the same dirty drug user caught last year. Oh, how the faithful forgive Rodney and the drug cheat Paul Byrd. Can I say HYPOCRITES.

Rodney: You will Always be a true Patriot. One of my most favorite players. You played with heart and soul. You knew what TEAM meant. I am glad you have 2 rings to show for it! I hope you stay another year, but would understand if you retired--coaching maybe???

Although I am psyched that the Pats won the game, part of me is dissapointed Rodney Harrison was lost, as his leadership will be missed, especially as the younger kids like Merriweather,etc. are coming along. Perhaps this will mean the return of John Lynch.

Next man up.

Thanks for all the great memories, Rodney.

- Picking off Manning on the first drive of the 2003 AFC Championship...

- Coming back for one more play after breaking your arm in Super Bowl XXXVIII...

- Picking off Roethlesburger and returning it 80+ yards to end the 2004 AFC Championship before halftime...

- The MVP-worthy performance in Super Bowl XXXIX where you picked off McNabb twice, including the game clincher...

- Working your butt off to come back from injuries in 2005 and 2006...

- Bolstering the secondary during the historic 18-0 run in 2007...

- Always being the best teammate you could be and doing all you could do to help Eugene Wilson, James Sanders, and Brandon Merriweather learn the defense...

- Always displaying a true appreciation of the New England Patriots and their fans...

There are far too many great memories to list them all here. Thank you Rodney, I will continue to wear my #37 jersey with pride.

-

Otis Smith, where you at?

As a Bostonian who lived in San Diego for the first 5 years of Rodney's career, and was thrilled when he came to the Pats, I can tell you all that Rodney loves the game. He loves the game so much that I can't imagine Rodney not returning if he can be physically ready by next season. If he was going to retire, I'd have expected him to retire after his superbowl win. When he got Seau to come out of retirement to join him and the Pats, Rodney showed again his love and passion for the game.
With the way the superbowl ended last year, and how this season has begun, I expect that Rodney will want to come and make one more run for the superbowl, especailly if Brady is ready to play next year. If Rodney can't come back, Rodney I love and respect you man. I've always felt better when you were on the field, we always had a chance to win.

You'll be missed Rodney... you have given years of dedication to the Pats and we love you for that!

someone call Merton Hanks

Retire #37. Rodney to the Patriots Hall as well as the HOF. Tremendous competitor, fear inspiring hitter, locker room champion, off field MAN. He is a fantastic football player and an even better human being. He will be sorely missed and if this marks the end of his career, I wish him the very best life has to offer. I hope he realizes his dream of becoming a ref, too.

Thanks for your all your efforts Rodney. We'll remember you playing the last play of the Super Bowl with a broken arm and making a hit with it as well.

You're a great Patriot and I'd think a perfect coaching candidate for the defensive backfield. The real fans will miss you very much

We love you Rodney get well u will be missed greatly 15 amazing season 6 with us and I just can't put into words how much you've done 4 us

I kind of hope he can come back as a defensive backs coach, cause we need it badly!

Hey Rodney,

Thanks for your amazing contributions over the last six years.
I wish you all the best in your long recovery from this devestating injury.
You were a real warrior on the field and have always conducted yourself with class off of it.

You will be missed so much and never forgotten.

Get Molly Walker NOW!!!

Another chance for the hater trolls to come out. Rodney is a hall of fame safety with 2 rings and the hearts of all New England on his side. Thank you for everything Hot-Rod. Your presense since the 03 season has been immeasurable.

And to all you haters, go get a life and rejoice elsewhere.

Thanks Rodney for the memories over the past 6 years. You were the cornerstone of the defense. Just being on the field gave your teammates and fans the confidence. #37 will be missed....

Rodney: It is probably the end of great career. The older we get - the more
injuries. And, you were not even hit on this one. Making a quick
turn chasing denver's QB. Time to heal, and take care of yourself.
15+ years of the NFL is plenty

To FootballFan in the words of Steve DeOssie..."Your'e an Idiot!"
Ask Jim Brown about Bill belichick before you throw him under the bus for not being humanitarian. Teddy B and Rodney are great people. All of the fans of other teams wish he was on their team as he played the game right. He is tough, and smart. His leadership will be missed. Hopefully the younger guys got the message and can carry on his work while he rehabs or retires. Thankd Rodney.
In my own words sir...."You are the man"

Thanks Rodney. I will forever wear the number 37 jersey out of respect for you and how you play.

Everything happens for a reason, hang in there!
Best wishes for a full recovery.

HOF - What a joke - he was the biggest cheap shot artist ever. He should have been suspended years ago.

thanks for all the laughs we got watching you lay out guys from the opposing teams. you really punished offenses and made them fear the patriots.

I love to see all of the Losers from these other chump cities posting the jealousy-fueled comments. I love to be in a position where other cities jealousy is so strong I can taste it. Jealousy is a weak emotion usaully displayed by middle school/high school aged girls and Boston seems to bring it out. Especially that chump city NYC, so obsessed with our success that they take the time out of their miserable lives to post on our sites. The city of Boston has rented a mansion in the Jealous minds of all NYC residents. Keep reliving the glory days losers and try to buy another world series. MYC = ChumpTownUSA

Best of Luck and God Speed,
You are a dynamite player and a better teammate. Going to miss you on the field!

Rodney,
Your the best !!!! I wish you a speedy recovery....You will surely be missed.
God Bless

Rodney Harrison # 37 became my favorite New England Patriot player as soon as he joined the team. He is one of the true examples that defense and team work win championships. For all you who claim he is a dirty player, you are mistaking that with the passion he has and shows for playing the game of football. Hello people, it's a contact sport!

For his own good, I think its time for Hot Rod to retire. He is almost 36 and his body is now really taking a beating - he has a life after football and should not jeopardize himself. They have trained the young guys well. Let's pass the torch and wish him well.

Rodney, you are a true pro and my favorite Pat of this era. If you don't come back as a player, I hope to see you coach or remain with the team in some way...all the best to you.

Why was Rodney even playing with a 34-0 score with the game essentially over??? Rodney was great, and he'll be missed. But the Pats need to get younger.

Rodney was the field general making sure all dbacks were on the same page. Great heart. Great determination. Fearless defender. We probably would not have won 2 Super Bowls without his contribution. He will always be one of the greatest Patriot of all time. HOF credentials, but his underserved reputation as a cheap shot artist will stop him at the door. Life goes on.... Does Law still have the skill/speed to get the job done? I sure hope so. This season is not over yet. They can compete with all the other mediocre teams in this league. Bring Law back and let him be the new field general. He knows our system as well as anyone. When he left a few years back, IMHO Law was the greatest defensive Patriot player during his tenure. Lets see what he can do. He is certainly well rested. GO PATS. Surprise all the pundits with another run at the Super Bowl!

;(....................
tears.

What is wrong with Merriwether?? Why not sign a DB for the nickel like Law and keep Brandon at SS isnt it time to find out if he can replace Rodney?

With all the dirty acts Rodney's put on tight ends over his career, it would have been a more fitting end if a tight end put a dirty hit on Harrison to end his career. At least he's gone though.........

I knew it right away just by the look in his eyes and the way he pointed to the stands. It definitely looked like a "Thanks for having me here" wave :-(

You're welcome.

Hey Nick, HGH doesn't cause injuries. Try to educate yourself as to what compounds that occur naturally in the body do, and why they might be used before you masturbate all over these boards. Otherwise, you risk appearing as a foolish, shallow, pathetic moron.

Then again, that might be what you are and what you're happy with, so why should I judge?

Rodney was The Man.Wish he could have played his entire career here.

You had the dirtiest player to play since Andre Waters, and you are sad to see him go????? Shows the ethics of Boston fans. I'm glad that jerk's career is over.

It's not jealousy in that I am saying that but its the millions of times after a a play was over he'd late hit somone and injure someone on a late grimey hit that wasn't necessary. It's only appropriate he gets injured to end his career. Bye bye!

Rodney, you are the greatest. I'm still hoping that you and Tom will both come back in fine health next year. If this doesn't happen for you, you can rest assured that New England fans will NEVER forget you -- one of the greatest players of all time...

Rodney. You are the greatest Pats safety ever. You've been so amazing to watch these last 6 years. I wish you spent your whole career here. It's terrible that things had to end this way. If you don't return to the field how about returning to the sidelines as a secondary coach? Good luck my friend. You will be missed.

Rodney, you're the man. I've read about how hard it was for you to come back from the knee injury. I only hope that you can make it back for one more season of bone-crushing hits! Love that...

Speedy recovery, Rodney.

The intensity you play with is infectious.
They'll miss you on the field; we'll miss you off it.

Billy and the boys will figure out roster moves ... thank you Rodney for showing younger guys how the game is supposed to be played, with heart, grit, determination and a thirst to be the best every single play!! If this indeed the last time we see you in the Patriot uni then you are without a doubt one of the best of all time and I thank you for the memories!!!

As a lifelong dolphins fan, i should be happy to see Rodney Harrison out for the year, but, i'm not...Even though i don't root for the Patriots...If he is truly finished, he will always be remembered as a gritty, fierce competitor. Just like Ronnie Lott, hated by some, admired by all...best of luck in your future after football, Rodney....a true Hall of Famer....

Rodney my heart goes out to you! I just can't believe you have such another bad injury. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished and so should the Patriot's be proud of you. Which I know they are. You will be missed terribly especially by me. I wish you the best and to your family and a speedy recovery. Take good care!

Thanks Rodney. You have been a great Patriot! If you leave playing football, you should definitely try out for a sports commentator. You are very intelligent and well spoken. You know the game. You will be a great asset to any NFL show!

I'm not an athlete, but tore my quad 4 years ago....it's over for Rodney, nasty injury. We love you Rod, good luck.

Tx Rodney....More than just hall of fame material.,you are and always will be an inspiration.

RODNEY...You do not deserve to suffer this way. You're a real class act with a great work and team ethic. I wish you all the best for a rapid healing for whatever you choose for yourself to enjoy life. Would be great to have you back someday on the team since it ain't over 'll the fat lady sings..but if you decide to move on...G-d bless and thanks.

I doubt very much if the REAL Jeff Bagwell posted a comment here. If he did, he can be happy to know that the irrelevant team he owns a season ticket to in that roof damaged building in Houston finally managed to win a game against the worst team in football. Enjoy your small victories Jeff. Your guys are going to finish last again this year.

I love your passion on the field, you took this team in your hands when you came here!!!! Can't wait to see that smile again!!!!! Get well man!!!!!

A great, great Patriots player, but this almost was a necessary injury. He lost his fastball 2 years ago and in this "lost" season, the young guys need to swim without their floaties (meaning Harrison).

You were truly a man among boys. I don't know if I've ever seen someone work as hard. Thank you for all of the productivity and memories. I will forever miss you. I hope that you wind up in the HOF. If anyone deserves it, it's you. One love.

Please Bring John Lynch Back we need his emotional energy and mental support right now!

Just once I'd like to see guru-Belichick draft a healthy running back from the get go....open up that old-tight purse and get one....tired of older veteran running backs dinged up and have to leave the team here as a basket case....it would help this Woolworth 5 & 10 cent QB alot more now.

I like merriweather in the role he has been playing,but we need someone of harrisons caliber.john lynch would fill that void.

Karma rears it's ugly head to bite the Pats again. Brady, Maroney,Harrison. Turnabout is fair play. I hope they lose evry game for the rest of the season. Belichick deserves nothing less. The cheater (both in football and life).

Thanks for all the years and memories you've inspired me by never backing down , playing with heart and passion , and always playing 100 % you will be missed greatly
