Return, retirement or release? Patriots WR Julian Edelman faces an uncertain offseason

It’s not often you see a career like Julian Edelman’s.

From playing quarterback at Kent State to being drafted in the sixth round to play wide receiver and special teams to replacing Wes Welker and becoming one of the best slot receivers of this generation, Edelman has done it all.

To look back at the long-haired punt returner back in 2009 and say that he was going to be second all-time in postseason receptions and yards behind only Jerry Rice would be blasphemous. Yet, here we are.

At 34 years old, Edelman’s career can be called a successful one.
