Ninkovich has recorded 14 fumble recoveries, 12 forced fumbles, 475 total tackles, 46 sacks and five interceptions in his career. He's won two Super Bowls with the Patriots and has had a pretty fulfilling career. He will be missed in the middle of the field and off the edge, but the Patriots will undoubtedly find a replacement no one saw coming as they usually do.
