The departure of Patriots icons Richard Seymour, Tedy Bruschi, and Rodney Harrison got me thinking about hardware. I'm not talking screwdrivers and hammers. I'm talking Super Bowl rings. The list seems to get shorter and shorter every season. So here we go.
| Player | Year Acquired | Rings |
| Tom Brady | 6th, 2000 | 3 |
| Matt Light | 2nd, 2001 | 3 |
| Stephen Neal | FA, 2001 | 3 |
| Kevin Faulk | 2nd, 1999 | 3 |
| Jarvis Green | 4th, 2002 | 2 |
| Dan Koppen | 5th, 2003 | 2 |
| Ty Warren | 1st, 2003 | 2 |
| *Tully Banta-Cain | FA, 2009 | 2 |
| Benjamin Watson | 1st, 04 | 1 |
| Vince Wilfork | 1st, 04 | 1 |
*Tully Banta-Cain returns to us after a 2 year stint with San Francisco.

It's about what I expected
because only the long-term Pats would have them, and the veteran free agents the Pats pick up are actively seeking rings to the point of taking the Pats-paycheck-discount.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS...
IT MEANS THE 2009-2010 IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON FOR THE PATRIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(knock on wood… and sorry for all the caps).
The new guy, Michael Matthews
has a ring for his season with the Giants. Yes. He was a starter in that game.
Looking at
Neal’s career it shows him as having 2002 be his first year. So how he get 3 rings?
Warm up the Duck Boats!!!
He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2001.
But apparently he didn’t play that year. I guess he gets a ring by association, maybe like Edge getting one via the Colts?

The Pats site says...
“2001… Signed to the Patriots active roster (12/12) … Listed among the Patriots day of game inactives for the final three games of the regular season and all three postseason games, including Super Bowl XXXVI.”

He was waived by the Pats, signed by the Eagles to their practice squad, and stolen back by the Pats
So he had to be listed as an active player, but on the game day inactives. I guess he was on the roster of 53, but never made the travelling 45.
