3 FAMILIAR FACES GET NEW NFL ADDRESSES IN 2015 The Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said that change is the only constant in life. Surely he could have made that observation about the NFl, too. Player movement in the league has been brisk since the New england Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl xlix in February. And a lot of it has happened to the defending champs themselves. They ll be on display when they open the 2015 season at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Sept. 10, on NBc. As the Pats come into the 2015 season, they ll be without the services of their two-time MvP quarterback Tom Brady, suspended for the season s first four games after failing to cooperate with investigators probing the deflation of footballs during last season s AFc championship game. While the loss of the 38-year-old Brady is tough, what could prove disastrous for the Pats are the departures of key defensive cogs Darrelle revis, Brandon Browner, Kyle Arrington and vince Wilfork. Their dominance of the AFc east may be over. The obvious beneficiaries of any Pats backslide would be the New York Jets, who signed revis and former Arizona cardinal Antonio cromartie to form what could be the league s best defensive backfield; and the Buffalo Bills, whose myriad offseason moves among them the addition of Pro Bowl rb lesean Mccoy make them a very interesting team. The St. louis rams may have made the steal of the year when they swapped injury-prone, underachieving Sam Bradford and a draft pick to the Philadelphia eagles for Pro Bowl Nick Foles and two picks. Foles may have fallen off some last season from his impressive 2013, but he s certainly worth more than a who has had two torn Acls in two years. Score a few GM of the Year votes for the rams les Snead. Also very active over the past eight months have been the New Orleans Saints, who missed the postseason in 2014 with a 7-9 record. With Drew Brees entering his late 30s, the Saints needed to switch to a more run-oriented offense, so they traded away All-Pro Te Jimmie Graham, Pro Bowl G Ben Grubbs and Wr Kenny Stills and brought in All-Pro c BY GEORGE Max unger, Pro Bowl rb c.j. Spiller and Pro Bowl cb Brandon Browner. These moves could be a revelation or a disaster. Only time will tell. As if he didn t have enough weapons, indianapolis colts Andrew luck gets another in bruising five-time Pro Bowl rb Frank Gore. We pity the defenses that have to try to contain this attack. Other noteworthy names in new cities include DT Ndamukong Suh (Miami Dolphins), Wr Brandon Marshall (Jets), S Dashon Goldson (Washington redskins), rb DeMarco Murray (eagles), lb Keith rivers (Dallas cowboys), Wr Michael crabtree (Oakland raiders), Wr Andre Johnson (colts), rb DeAngelo Williams (Steelers) and Wr Dwayne Bowe (cleveland Browns).
