I wonder how long it will take before the Hoodie deflates the tires on Wayne's wheelchair.

I wonder how long before everyone is talking about Reggie Wayne's 'career revival'?

Now you're just talking silly.
He's 37 years old and coming off a torn ACL.
What's his roll gonna be? He ain't gonna be flying down the side lines, that's for sure. Those rockets stopped firing a long time ago! He won't get the slant passes ... Gronk gets those. Is he going to get the dump and screen passes that Blount can't catch? (because, you know, Blount can't catch)
My guess is he'll be the decoy WR in the nickle package ... which the Pats rarely use ... so Wayne will see the field for maybe 5 plays per game?
What's the point? I realize that the Pats second tier WR's are all banged up, but this smells of desperation.

And keep this in mind. Wayne had a meager 700 yards and 2 TD's last year ... with an elite QB throwing to him! Not good.

dude caught 750 yards worth of passes in Indy last year. He can still get open, and will just be another bullet in the holster. Plus, doesn't Reggie deserve to go out a Super Bowl winner?

Sure. If he gets traded to Green Bay.
