The general sense I get is that the Patriots’ big-money movement in free agency is over. The next significant domino to fall is right tackle Sebastian Vollmer, and until that situation is resolved, my feeling is that the Patriots wouldn’t want to commit significant salary cap space elsewhere if it meant closing the door on Vollmer. So if this read is correct, we’re in a little bit of a holding pattern right now.

On the defensive side of the ball, yes, they have gotten better, most notably in the secondary. They were able to add veteran safety Adrian Wilson, re-sign cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Kyle Arrington and jettison safety Patrick Chung. If Alfonzo Dennard is able to return without missing a beat, all of these moves will help stabilize the New England secondary, a group that made tremendous strides down the stretch in 2012.
