With Schobel committing to play in 2010, where will he end up? Right now, it appears as if his likely suitors are in New England and Houston. A potential move to New England is drawing comparisons to Wes Welker joining the Patriots, as Welker was a Patriots killer and Schobel has sacked Tom Brady more times (10.5) than any other player. With Derrick Burgess playing his best "Brett Favre" and considering retirement, the Patriots are very thin at OLB. However, the Patriots have also worked out veteran DE Adewale Ogunleye and may choose to go in that direction.
However, Schobel is from the Houston area, and it would make sense for him to finish his career there, telling the Houston Chronicle it would be his "number one choice." It looks like Schobel could end up in his hometown, although the choice to play in New England has to be tempting. Schobel may be able to start immediately in New England. Whatever team signs him can expect a thoroughly improved pass rush from his presence.
