James White Announces his Retirement

[PatsFan09]

Congrats to a true champion. Such an outstanding Patriot. I hope that he truly loves his retirement, and perhaps joins the coaching staff!

 

[Roberto71]

Ah s**t....I really loved watching him play and what an outstanding, loyal player he was! So tragic was happened to his family.

Happy retirement Jimmy Boy! And many thanks from us fans!

 

[Muse]

He was a joy to watch. I wish him and his family the best.

 

[ParanoidPatriot]

Love James White. Not only a vital player in that Atlanta come from behind SB win, but in most big games.
He also seems to be a true gentleman and a role model.

 

[Phil Elliott]

First class guy and a terrific player and teammate.

 

[aloyouis]

Damn.

Hopefully he made enough to be financially secure. Like others I wonder if he wants to stay in football?

Great Patriot. He defined a position.

 

[patsload]

Class act, clutch player. I will miss watching him play.

It's a shame, but not unexpected.

James White was awesome. Over the last 7 or so seasons nobody was more consistent or did his job better.

 

[Darth Despot]

I think James goes on that "Patriot Way" Mt Rushmore with Troy Brown, Kevin Faulk and Julien Edelman

Gonna miss the guy, but he owes us nothing, he gave it all.

 

[patswin]

That was a tough injury to recover from. Not entirely surprised, but really happy he played here. A classy gentleman as well.

 

[3 Point Stan]

I knew this announcement would likely come by the end of camp, and now that it's been made, and despite having braced for it, I am very sad.

He will be a Patriots HOFer in short time. 8 TD's in 12 career playoff games and was just as instrumental as Brady in the one that mattered the most. Hope you like the color red, James. Thanks for everything.

 

[Patriots44]

like others said, not surprised considering the injury he suffered last year.
Great player and a great person. will be missed.

 

[Flagg the Wanderer]

Though not quite as good as his namesake, Rudy "Sweet Feet" Huxtable, James White was a great watch - absolute precision - and to all appearances was an absolute class act. I'd have loved to have him back this year if he was ready, willing, and able.

 

[RoadNasty]

So steady, so reliable, great hands and quick feet- one great Patriot and a tremendous human being.

Thank you so much James White and best wishes for the future - I know it will be wonderful for you.

 

[SkiptoMyLou]

Another Pats legend bites the dust due to injuries. Sad to see him go that way, but he will be remembered for his many contributions in key moments -- especially the game winning touchdown in the greatest comeback in SB history.

Happy trails, sweet feet. Forever Pats legend. See you in Pats' HOF induction.
