 As Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery sat in a meeting room at the team’s Florham Park complex this past week watching film of the Patriots-Bills game, he was struck by the absence of four longtime adversaries.
New England linebackers Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel, safety Rodney Harrison and defensive end Richard Seymour had vanished without a trace.
During the Patriots’ much-celebrated Super Bowl run, the foursome had been as much a part of the defense — and team — as the logo on their helmets.
Together, the quartet had 45 years of NFL experience, 32 with the Patriots. Bruschi, Seymour and Vrabel were on all three Super Bowl-winning teams. Harrison was on two. The Patriots’ defense has been ranked in the top-10 in five of the past six seasons.
Bruschi and Harrison retired this past offseason, and Vrabel was traded to the Chiefs. In a shocking move, five-time Pro Bowler Seymour, in his ninth season, was dealt to the Raiders the week before the season started.
