While I wrote last week that the Patriots should let Brandon Lloyd, among others, walk this offseason, it wasn’t because of production. For his salary, his play was fine. My point was that if the Patriots determine they need better at that X receiver position and spend a lot of money to do it, it doesn’t make much sense to keep Lloyd. But if the Patriots don’t see many other options, keeping Lloyd (especially with a tweak in his deal) certainly makes sense, especially if Wes Welker leaves. Lloyd knows the offense. How many Patriots receivers can say that?
