The franchise has been hit hard by the unexpected retirements of star quarterback Tom Brady and offensive guard Ali Marpet.
He said that outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh have informed him that they still want to play and won’t be retiring.
Tight end Rob Gronkowski, who some have pegged as a retirement candidate after Brady’s decision, has been working out at the team facility twice a week according to Arians.
Suh has been a key cog on the defense, playing in all 49 regular-season games and six playoffs since he joined the franchise.
JPP was labored by a torn rotator cuff throughout the season but elected to play through the injury.
Despite missing four games and the majority of another with rib and back injuries, Tom Brady’s favorite target was even more productive in 2021.
