Is Corey Dillon going to play this season? If so, who needs him the most?

Question

I am a Pats fan and haven't heard a word about him in about a month. I'm also seeing all these evaluations of other teams saying they should get this or that RB to help their team, none ever mentioning that Corey is still floating around out there!

I also read he wont be a back up, so dont guess and say hes going to a team like the Cardinals. Dumb.

Answer 1

THIS IS PROBALLY THE ANSWER - FROM COREY DILLON'S WEBSITE:

Of all the options available to running back Corey Dillon, none is any more appealing right now than benching himself and retiring.
Those close to the 32-year-old Dillon say that, after an offseason of talking with the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills and without a worthwhile playing-paying situation materializing, the running back now is planning to retire.
After 10 seasons with the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals, after 11,241 rushing yards that made him the league's leading active rusher last season, Dillon is happier running errands than the football.
He now spends his days in Malibu, Calif., shuttling his daughters to school, hitting the golf course, then returning to school to pick up his daughters. It is an arrangement that Dillon, already financially secure, has found more appealing than any that could be offered to him.
Of course, Dillon could change his mind, and has before this offseason. He initially planned to retire at the start of the offseason, decided to explore the opportunities that beckoned, but now is back to where he was in January, ready to call it a career.
A second-round pick out of the University of Washington in 1997, Dillon will be remembered as one of the game's more punishing runners, a player who once set the NFL single-game rushing record with 278 yards against the Denver Broncos.
In 2004, Dillon validated the faith the Patriots showed in him in 2004, when New England traded a second-round draft pick for him. Dillon helped the Patriots win one Super Bowl and helped them come within a few minutes of reaching another.
Dillon hinted at retirement shortly after New England's season ended in Indianapolis, and now, according to those who know him best, it sounds like he's following through on it.

Answer 2

I heard, tennesee and the rams but that is about it. Corey should and I really hope he does, sign with the Patriots again, we could use a seasoned, 3rd down back like him. He will be missed but now that we signed RB Sammy Morris, I dont think it will be that bad.

Answer 3

Arizona Cardinals may try to get him because of the need another RB to help them out... He'll most likly go to a team who dosn't need him but has enough $$$ to keep him for extras if you get the picture.

Hope this helps,

Hunter

Answer 4

I haven't heard anyone, but there are definitely some teams with young RBs who could use a veteran "mentor" in there... especially one with so much success.

Answer 5

As of now, I haven't heard of anybody being really interested. My guess is he'll get signed during training camp when someone goes down with an injury.

Answer 6

I must say i would be honstly surprised if anyone pick him up. He had a pretty good career but I think it's time to hang it up before a nasty injury puts him out. Nobody wants to go out like that.

Answer 7

Unless someone picks him up before the season, he is likely going to retire...At least he got his ring with the Pats...

Answer 8

The Green Bay Packers could use him this season. They have no proven starter.

Answer 9

he's not going to play anymore because of his injuries.
