There was some question going into the offseason if Stephen Gostowski would come back to the New England Patriots.

Gostowski signed a two-year contract to stay with the Patriots and after some thought, he knew it was the right decision and it was 100 percent the right decision.

Via ESPN.com:

“But having the extra time, and waiting and taking my time, really made me know that I was 100 percent wanting to be here. I'm so blessed to have a chance to play 15 years in one spot. I know my position is different than most. But even in my position, guys that have played it this long, have probably already been with two or three different teams. We love it here. My family loves it here. It would have been a lot to leave.

Gostowski did look at a few different options this offseason and did find things to like about other teams, but every time he kept coming back to how much he likes New England and knowing that is the place for him to be.

“You have to make decisions based on a multitude of factors, and every time I thought of what it would be like somewhere else, I always came back to how much I love it here. It's a weird business, and you have to explore every option, but it was really tough for me to think I was ever going to leave. I'm excited it worked out and just thankful for another opportunity to have a crack at playing for the Patriots.”

Gostowski is one of the best kickers in NFL history and it's only fitting that he goes back to the same team, and tries to win another Super Bowl.
