The Draw Of Playing In New England

**Marrdro** · 03-17-2009, 02:37 PM

What is the attraction with Foxborough, Mass.? And why does it seem that every offseason, high-profile free agents are drawn to play for Bill Belichick and the Patriots? Today, we try to answer these questions and show that the Patriots are indeed the ultimate destination for NFL players who want to win championships.

:

Every team can get players, you just have to show interest.
We shelled out huge contracts to get who we did. (Berrian, Madieu, Shank, JA, Hutch, etc.)
I don't see many players willing to take a pay cut to play for us, or turning down other offers to play for us.
I don't see the vikings as being the ideal destination for players yet. There are teams that are, like obviously the pats, or the colts or steelers, and there seems to be a pattern there... they've all won superbowls recently and have been dominant for the past decade.

This is the vikings first winning season since 2003?
