If you've wondered why Brandon Lloyd hasn't resurfaced on the NFL grid this season, we now have an answer. Pro Football Talk reported Wednesday that Lloyd has dismissed at least six teams that have approached him about playing in 2013, according to a source with knowledge of the discussions. The New England Patriots, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers are among the teams that checked in. PFT reported that Lloyd is not physically or mentally prepared to continue his career. The news comes four days after CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora tweeted that he "continued to hear" Lloyd did not intend on playing. Source: NFL.com
even if he wants to just take a year off that's his prerogative. he can still get a gig next season quite easily. i wouldn't have guessed he'd have turned down the patriots though. i thought it was really strange he didn't end up there, so that does make a lot more sense.
