Long says “I want to get back to being the player I was before” in the post, which explains his decision to not re-sign with the Patriots. The 31-year-old started just seven games last season and might desire an expanded role elsewhere.

Kyle Long, who plays for the Chicago Bears, tried to get his brother, Chris, to come play for the Bears.

We’ll see what happens with Long. Although his numbers have dipped considerably the past few seasons, he can still have an impact on defense.
