So maybe Dillon isn't retiring, after all.

Or maybe his agent is trying to convince him to play again. Or Dillon just didn't like being released by the Patriots, and wanted a way to spin it to sound better.

Teams will be happy to give Dillon a roster spot, but I'm not sure there is a starting job waiting for him out there. Either way, he won't be on the Patriots next season. Thanks for the effort and the scowls.
